This is for Herm ;-) I bought some speedo's yesterday at Dicks Sporting Goods, guess I was way to optimistic in that size 34 does not stretch at all - matter a fact it makes a ripping sound when stretched past the limit

Thanks. You're doing great. Seems like everyone has certain areas that are difficult to improve. I have several. Just keep at it.

Well it's better I had to replace both batteries in it. 215.00 dollars later and it's running. I have a diesel truck big toys big bucks when it breaks. I think I'm staring at a couple thousand for a new injector pump soon. Ughhhhh...

Hey...saw your comment on your progress pics about Dakota Fit software. Spent about 10 minutes reviewing the features, etc. Looks very impressive. Probably the most comprehensive I have ever seen. Might give it a try in 2010. Keep up the great work!

Thanks sir! Lower back training is going better! Hopefully as my financial situation improves, I will look to using exercise bands and heavier dumbells. Best wishes on reaching your goals to compete.

Mitch. Thanks for the great compliment on my recent pic. I can't tell you how encouraging that was. Any comparison to Boyer Coe has me on cloud 9. He was one of my all-time favorites. I absolutely love having at least one thing in common with him.

My training and dieting has been coming along sloooowly, but surely. By looking at your body I definitely don't have the discipline or know-how you have. Your results have been nothing short of remarkable.

I just stopped by to wish you nothing but success as you work towards your fitness goal and competition. Too many people think it can’t be done and so they don't even try but you have proven that with desire, hard work and dedication it can be done. Keep up the great work. I look forward to watching your continuing progress. You are a great example to so many others.

Alright...let the truth be known... so much for the "Aphrodisiacal Powers" of the "GREEN M&Ms"! To cheap to buy the ExtenZe...all I ended up with is a "Jolly Green Bean" between my legs and an upset stomach!
