Big Martin, Goldberg, Tampa Terry.
“Bees are nature’s candy” had me in stitches.

Tampa Terry & Patricia(who is a goddess)
Vote goes first to Tampa Terry for being patient with newbies (like me) and helping me out with my nutritional information, which has helped me put on some extra lbm. Goldberg and Patricia also come to mind.
So DBMuscle, when are we going to get to see another article from you? I really liked your debunking of super slow training.
“Karma has the biggest balls” E~ : Kinda ironic that on a forum dedicated to testosterone the person with the biggest balls is a chick, however it’s the truth.
fitone does deserve honorable mention for constantly getting hammered for his grammar/spelling (remember folks, English is fitone’s second language!)
EC - that Dan McV post was hilarious and definitely a classic! Thanks for the repost.
And thanks for the props, Brad!
Mike, last I heard, it was his first language.
Actually, Mike, fitone told us a while back that English was his first language. Maybe a clarification is in order.
English is the first language but, Chinese is the main spoken languange in the household. Especially when I was growing up.
I believe anyone who posts with the clear intention of helping another lost soul does not desire any type of a “MVP” acknowledgement.
Why? Well, first of all: this is a faceless internet forum. One of thousands; perhaps millions available on the WWW. It’s more important to me to receive acknowledgement from the peer group that has seen and worked with me IN PERSON. Am I any different from others in this regard? Nope. Highly doubt it.
And let me now list off the individuals who were the ones responsible for my involvement on this board. Just by reading their many, many posts on this board, they encouraged me to participate. Many thanks to them for their knowledge, wit and time:

…there are a few more that I’m sure I have missed. Keep in mind that I have mixed some newer forum personalities here with some oldie/goodie ones. They all deserve mention since every single one of these fine peoples have provided lots of good information here on this board. Time and time again as well as memorable discussions (oh, those were the days). Many of these names have even become whole living human beings in the form of really good friends in my world.
All of these people are deservant of that forum title; but I am sure none of them even have that in their minds when answering a question or participate in a discussion. I salute the above list of humans. Good times.
Whopper…remember that guy anybody?
Whopper was cool.
I’ll have to vote for Goldberg. Best combination of attitude and helpfulness.
My apologies to:
Goldberg
Whopper

They’ve all been great help. Definitely. Even though I’ve only seen a few of the tale end of Whopper’s time here, there’s no doubt that he’s left a positive lasting impression.
My bad on the fitone statement.
So now I ask - then what the hell is your problem, fitone?!?!?!?!?
Don’t try to cover up a dumb fucking question with a smiley face, Mike. He has grammar problems. If you can’t read it, you need to spend more time around international people.
I cant believe my name has been brought up. yall are crazy. I very much appreciate it. I owe all i know about powerlifting to Louie Simmons, Dave Tate, Bob Youngs, Jim Wendler, Paul Childress, Tommy Fannon, Jason Burnell, Steve Coppola, Landon Evans, Jared Bruff, Sully26, Heavythrower, Patricia, Mel Siff, and Jeff Rage.
And thanks to Cass because she looks good.
and big martin.
Goldberg, you’re teaching me more about power lifting than I’ll ever be able to teach you.
Many thanks and a beer will be raised in your name tonight. ;-))
haha. ill raise a skyy blue in your name tonight.
