Default Isn't jpfitness a great place?

Do you realize that just today we've had posts from:

Alwyn Cosgrove
Charles Staley
Bill Hartman
Mike Robertson
Eric Cressey
Dos Remedios
Jonathan Fass
and many of our own helpful, but not quite as famous, experts
(and I hope I didn't leave anyone out!)

Where else can you talk to the guy who's book you bought?
Where else do you get consistently reliable fitness information at your fingertips?

Isn't this just a great place?

Oh, yeah! Occasionally, I'll recommend JPF to select individuals on worldfitness.com due to all the experts here.

One woman suffers from scoliosis, so I recommended she pose her problem here. I hope she takes me up on the offer. At the very least, they could design a better routine that will strengthen her back, if not correct it.

I just bought a training manual from one of the best athletic trainers out there and now, thanks to this forum, he's giving me additional info and insight into my program and even watching my progress and commenting on my log. That's pretty damn cool if I do say so myself.

Not at all! I am thinking that you and Gq both go in that "our own" category? OK?

Besides, there are so many great people here that it's hard to name everybody!

But you two guys always make my day with great posts.

Yep, pretty fucking cool. That's why I'm here night after night. Learning, reading, learning, posting, learning, laughing and oh.... did I mention learning?
It's pretty cool to see names in mags and then come here and actually have discussions with them.

Don't leave out Lou either!

That's the bad thing about being a post whore, the value of your posts diminish.
