    Preach it, brother!

    We are lucky we are living in a time where we have an author who explains to us bluntly what strength actually means.
    I'm mindful of this observation regularly. Wish I had been 25 instead of 45 when I became aware of his explanation. Am eternally thankful, however, that I was 45 instead of 85 and acted on it. What a contribution to mankind he has made in codifying the method and teaching it.

    Rip separates the wheat from the chaff and we all get to munch on the wheat. Look at ANY other strength organisation and try to notice how much chaff they pump out at you. Rip and friends offer a proper product, as evidenced by the results we can all witness.

Let everyone try to be a convoluted malfunctioning spaceship; baked beans will always sell though.

    I'm shutting up now because I sound like a lunatic!
