to shug's and JB

I just want to say that SWIS was one of the best weekends of my life. It jampacked with great info. I just want to thank Chris and Johnny B. for being two of the coolest guys I have ever met. Chris you’re fucking hilarious and I absolutely loved talking about training all weekend long. John is a pretty funny Mofo as well.(On a totally unrelated subject: “The grow bars are the shit!”.) Getting to know two great writers from t-mag who i look up to, on a personal level made reading t-mag that much more meaningfull to me, I owe you guys a lot… thanx
can’t wait till next year.

I’m sorry I couldn’t get out with you guys. I was there all weekend and shot the shit with Chris whenever I could, but circumstances being circumstances, I missed out on all the fun. Glad to hear you had a good time though.

Ditto on what everyone else wrote. Chris can have you laughing one minute and then start talking about life and lifting is such a passionate way that it brings a tear to your eye the next. Great guy, very down to earth. Berardi was very cool too as was Lonnie Lowrie. And all of them obviously walk the walk as well as talk the talk! Good builds all around.
