You can find George at Muscle-massochist.com.

Really enjoyed this. George is a guy who's made a lot of mistakes over the years, but also done a lot of stuff right. It's great to have him share his experience. There's a lot of valuable info here. Young guys in particular want so much so fast. It's important to point out that steady progression over months and years gets you strong. And as much as pushing yourself is important, pushing too hard, too soon, too regularly gets you injured and holds you back in the long run. Best of luck to George with his endeavors. Re-breaking his American record at a lighter bodyweight would be awesome.
