Reason: lil_kris is #1 on my list. She started by e-mailing me and telling me how great I'm doing, and she never let up on the motivation and positive attitude. She knows where I'm coming from when things are not going well (i.e. PEOPLE SUCK!), and she won't let me get down. I train hard, because you train hard lil_kris! Thanks for everything babe, you're awesome.

Reason: Lacey inspires me to train harder -- not just hard -- harder. Every time I look in the mirror and see myself getting more and more fit, and when my confidence and feeling of self-worth increases, it's because Lacey asked me to do another rep for her and the other pretty girls. You've been real nice to me Lacey, thanks, that's inspiring in itself. aloha, Scott

Reason: What flows through Phoenixrise's mind when he writes his blogs is the same hardcore caustic iron-seeking sh*t that runs through mine. 'rise has a gift for writing with intensity, the kind of steel-bending intensity that forges beastly unhuman muscle in the foundry of iron, steel, and sweat. That kind of intensity comes from the soul -- not the frickin' heart -- it's the soul, either you got it or you don't. Build strong and train hard, brother 'rise.
