    What's even more interesting is the guy who conducted and filmed it posts on the forum from time to time.

    Barry doesn't post here but I've been doing my damndest to get him to :)

    Remmy Barry has been over to the States and done interviews with Pat Mendes, Jon Broz, Glenn Pendlay, Jim Schmidt and loads of other really cool guys. He posts them up on his Weightlifting Epiphanies blog (which was voted in the top 20 weightlifting/ strength training blogs recently!!) and fairly frequently does skype interviews with various coaches/ lifters.

    ECB are going to have Glenn Pendlay over for a seminar in March - it's going to be unreal \o/

    That was Byrdie :) The account is there for them to use whenever they want it though, I'd really love it if they started posting, Sami, Barry & Wayne are endless sources of info with their backgrounds.

    Hello all,

    G'em has finally twisted my arm into posting on this forum. Here is my favourite ever interview to give. Donny is an icon and an absolute legend:

    Pat Mendes is a freak, but in a variety of ways. I have trained with him on a few seperate occasions and last summer I interviewed him also. I have been the only person allowed interview him, so aside from youtube videos, no-one really knows what he is like as a person.

    He is a freak in regards to physical output, but what people do not realise is his single-mindedness in his training and in his life. The man has completely forsaken any of the usual lifestyles choices or factors that 19 and 20 year olds choose and he has no life outside training. His ability to drive himself is unlike anyone I have ever met. He will do ANYTHING to succeed in his ultimate ambitions and people tend to get freaked out by this kind of attitude.

    His coach John Broz is like this also. I stayed with him for a few days last summer and the man loves weightlifting and his athletes as much as any local manager from the parish. Both John and Pat have dedicated their lives to their sport and this is why they are such freaks and why Pat can is such an anomoly. These are only my opinions of course.

    Don't know if it's the lack of eating loads / lack of eating carbs but my post-gym packet of biltong has never tasted so delicious. Dayum. Have to start making this myself.
