Welcome to the first edition of our mag — an Australasian on-line magazine for weight trainers of all descriptions from weekend warriors to bodybuilders, from sports people to those who just want to look buff. In this months’ issue, there's a truly Australian story that shows where there’s a will there’s a way, Ian Hales rails, as only Ian can, against the giants of the supplements industry — if Ian’s David, I’d hate to meet Goliath. I give you my take on some bad form and finally, some 'Nuts and Bolts', news items and published research that caught my eye.

Okay, so it’s a modest start but at least it is a start. The rest, gentle reader, is up to you. If we’re going to succeed in our goal to build a decent on-line training and nutrition mag we need readers and contributors. So spread the word. Tell your friends and go to the forum to tell us what you think.

If you think you’ve got an article in you, type it up and send it in. If you’re a personal trainer maybe you’ve got a routine that works, or maybe you’re an expert in some other area we all need to know about. Perhaps you’ve got an inspirational tale, like Bens’, that would motivate us all. Or perhaps you’ve just got something you need to get off your chest. Just send it and we’ll consider it.

Just to get the ball rolling, I’m going to make it real easy for everyone to contribute. I’m sure you’ve all got a favorite quote that applies to training and perhaps one or two that apply to other situations. All you have to do is fill in the blanks below and press submit.

Good Health,

John

Here’s a couple of examples

Quote: ‘Do it slowly’ Roger Walker, Mr Universe 1976

Original context: Snapped at me with obvious disgust at speed with which I was performing my crunches as the big guy breezed by. City Gym, at sometime in the early 80’s

Also applies to: Do I have to spell it out?

And

Quote: ‘If you’re doing something that’s not working stop doing it!’ Jim Rohn, motivational speaker.

Original context: Okay, he didn’t actually say this (does that make it mine?) but it’s one of the great tips I got from the tape, ‘How to Have a Better Year’ that I borrowed from a cousin.

Also applies to: Everything but especially to diets and training routines

Now its your turn:
