In the hospital for the weekend .....

[PHIL HERNON]

oH MAN

If you're being serious (because I've also heard that I sound like a pompous ass when I write something like that...), I really appreciate it.

I started lifting in 1995. My training partner and I (we're still best friends) saw a photo of you with one leg on a 'home gym' of some sort in an ad of a magazine. We decided that our ultimate goal was a mix of that photo with Bill Kazmier, so you were one of the original people I looked up to when I began training.

My style of training was pretty much developed from an article of yours where you explained your thoughts on training (heavy, brief, etc). It changed over the years, but the basis has always been those general principles.

That was an ad I did with Bill Kazmier when I was 21...........it was for Kaiser air equipment.........pneumatic resistance............neat stuff.........you in no way sound like a pompus ass.....awesome info man, I wish u were here more, it would make my studies so much easier.

First pic I saw of Phil was in an ad also... It is actually the pic that is in Phil's box at the bottom of the page. However it was in black and white.
