I think it has been established that Roald is not a spammer, so let's focus on his content and drop that charge.

Roald, please understand that there are scores of "gurus" out there who will pop in here and make one post and never show up again, so people here are naturally suspicious.

This is also probably a better informed group of trainees than you will find anywhere else on the net (along with BR and Strengthcoach.com), so they won't really accept training methods just because someone is a successful athlete and claims they work. You need to be able to back up what you say here.

One thing I have learned is that some people are successful in spite of themselves. Good genetics and determination can be enough for some people to compete at the elite level. Case in point, I can't tell you how many pro football players I see doing leg presses or DB curls ad infinitum, and some people hang on every word they say as if by virtue of being a good athlete they are automatically an authority.

I always say, "follow a horse home and you'll find horse parents."

That's not to suggest you don't know what you're talking about... Just saying that this crowd is a little tougher than the average crowd, and you will need to fully explain yourself. Also, expect some debate, ideally in a courteous manner (although sometimes it can get heated). Don't let that prevent you from participating though. I personally hope you stick around.

All that aside, I really like your art. You have some great designs. Kind of like throwing a weight lifter in a blender with MC Escher and hitting the frappe button!
