Default 1000 posts and it only took 2 years:)

I was told by a friend that I had reached 1000 and hadn't posted about it yet. I don't have much to say, and that is why it took 2 years to get to 1000. I came here to gather more information on my health quest. Reading all the posts and gathering the info on routines, diets, etc have given me more areas to work on. I have have taken some advice from people that have worked and some that haven't.

After getting too much info and trying to get too granular in my quest, I have found it best to go back to the basics and use them towards the goal. I know what my body can and can't do, and I base my lifts off that. I don't listen to people who say don't do that exercise, I will try it and if it works for me or doesn't cause injury then I will use it.

I have opened myself to a wider range of diets and routines than I ever thought I would and I owe that to the Clubhouse guys and some of the members of JP's. I am in the best shape of my life and if I get more muscle and less bf, then great, if not then I will be happy to where I am and will continue at it. And my only words of advice for anyone would be, be open to everything, give it a try and decide what works for you, don't just disregard something just because someone says so.

Congratulations on 1K. No, you don't always have a lot to say, but when you do say something, my experience has been that it's dead on. Glad you're "one of us."

Well done, Mike. Congratulations on the milestone.

Quality over quantity.....not a bad approach.

Mike,
Congrats on the 1,000 plus. What you fail to bring to this forum in quantity, you make up for in quality.

2 years? Could you say that you have been lax in your posting habits? hee hee!

Maybe you should do an apprenticeship with Nick.

Glad to have you hear Lax. You're one of us, so you must be a freak!

Look forward to the next two years and the next 1000. I remember a few of those 1000 helping me. Thanks

You are all too nice and that is why most people like it here. It is more of a family, with a few exceptions

Mike hits 1K. Congrats my friend. What you lack in forum post you make up for in G-Mail.
