Letter from a Fan

Every once in a while, I get an appreciative letter from someone who benefited from one of my books or equipment. I just had to share this one I received recently.--Mike

Dear Mr. Brown:

I just wanted to write you a few lines to relate to you how much I have enjoyed your books and equipment. Diagnostic Bodybuilding is the most informative book on this subject that I have ever read.

I am 74 years old and still train three to four times per week. In 1952 I started training and went to California. I trained at Babe Stansbury's Gym with Bob Shealy, Kim Fox, Bud Counts and none of us ever saw a steroid.

I also trained at Bill Pearl's and went to Gironda's Gym on two occasions. In that time and since then I have read countless books on training and nutrition. I still have a collection of the old Iron Man magazines. They were in my opinion the best of the bodybuilding books.

However your books cut through the crap and get right to the real issues. Since I have read your books, I have quit eating pork and have changed my diet.

At the present time I am working on grip strength and really like your wrist roller. It is like no other I have seen. I also have two of your cable handles, which I ordered from you when you were in Kentucky (ad in Iron Man magazine). I still do some cable pulling along with the weights.

I have a picture from May 1992, when they had the Gathering of the Great Bodybuilders in San Diego, Mits Kawashima is in that picture along with my friend Babe Stansbury.

In closing Mr. Brown, let me thank you again for helping me with your book and equipment. They are the very best.

Very truly yours,
BB
