We all know that nutrition is important for health and appearance, but do you feel it has a lot of impact on your strength levels? If you aren't overly concerned with a six-pack, would a plate full of wings accompanied by an apple and a bowl of veggies be acceptable to you as a strongman and powerlifter?
I'd like to know what Johns take is on gear. Does he think one should train with belts and wraps if one tends to train "heavy".
Also wonder if he has any info on, or if he uses a BCAA daily.
I'd also like to know his current DL max if he is willing to share it, and maybe how he got it where it is now. Did he focus on Strongman lifts, or was it a more balanced approach?
I'd like to hear him talk about the new gym, Excel.
Are you happy with the success of the gym so far? Has it met expectations?
What is a typical day like for you?
Talk about the group of trainers you've put together and what they contribute to the success of the gym. What unique strength does each member of the team bring to the gym?
And what exactly IS it that makes you SUCH a sexy guy?

I'm assuming we'll only have 30-60 minutes, so I probably won't have enough time to get into detail about why I'm so sexay.
What's the longest you've ever been stuck on a strength plateau? How did you break it? How did your gains progress afterwards?

Along the same lines as Ian - what does your typically daily diet look like? How many calories, breakdowns, etc. Or do you really keep track? Thanks!

Is Cardoza still alive? If so how is his bicep tear and hernia surgery coming along? Will he be competing again. I know it's about you but Cardoza just dropped off of the face of the earth after worlds.
When will we get together so I can crush you at an oly meet?
