Recently I retired from the working world. I now I have more time for the gym. YEAH! Funny how the weights feel a little bit heavier.
I have followed DaveDraper.com for 16+ years and gained quite a bit of knowledge.
I want to express how much I miss the enthusiasm Dave brought to the site. We had quite a cool bunch of folks contributing to the body building discussion.
My question is, "where did you all go?" From what I read, it appears about five people are doing all the contributing to the forum.
I hope to see this forum have a revival. I hope you are all doing well.

Agreed! For weight training groups (and most other groups probably), the early 2000s were the heyday. We have a rich history here!

For me? Life.

Was going at it pretty good till 2014... then we moved... I stopped teaching fitness classes and got into a rut.. on my couch. And I kinda lost my jam and I was dealing with a few issues (I've gotten help with that).

But, I go to the gym pretty regular and am getting back on the old fitness train. Emphasis on 'old.' haha

Well Spark,
ahem.... Godspeed to you now when you have more time- the gym is calling you. Never too late for that.

But let's see- 437 posts against Laree's 25999 (as it shows today).DD's watching you from iron heaven. Make it happen during the last month here on IOL or elsewhere. Drapers did what they could.
And personally I'll be always grateful for that.
