In Response To: My Selfish Solution (Mike McDaniel)

Like you, I have no other "toys" (boat, motorcycle, restored pickup, etc.) other than my gym full of equipment. I totally understand and respect that not everyone can or will do this for a variety of reasons, financial and otherwise, but I have found that the real reason in many cases is lack of willingness to give up other things for the goal. If you truly want the atmosphere, you have to create it yourself. If you want the best equipment, you must buy it yourself. Even then the elusive elite total can be only found in a land far far away...I am living proof of that... but the journey is much better along the way in my own "playroom" with my own training partners.kw
