Adam is one of my clients and has recently attained his goal of a pull-up. He has been working his tail of in the gym and out of the gym with his nutrition. Last week my clients presented our gym with a brand new BBQ, wow this thing is huge! At this presentation we used a projector to watch "Every Second Counts". During the movie there is a part where John Wellborne is doing chest to bar Pull-ups.....I started to look around the room for Adam and said, "if he can do it, you can do it big man!". Adam told me yesterday he was so influenced by John Welborn and the ESC movie, he used that to help get over the bar (and he is even calling himself on standards, love it).
Great job pal, keep attaining and setting those goals. (Sorry for he sidways video, I have now learned not to tilt my camera to fit in big guys doing pull-ups. I will try and fix this later).

Hey Coach,
Thanks for the kind words, and for making me poster boy for not one, but two sites!
So you know, seeing Welborn do those pullups was just the tipping point. My confidence that I could do a pullup had been growing for a while. The growth in my confidence had come from you, always telling me that I could do it, that just because I am a big man, it doesn't mean I can't do a pullup.
So, I hope that you see this success (and the many other small successes in between) as a reflection on yourself. Thanks for your encouragement, and always pushing me to be better than I was yesterday.
Thanks brother!
