Front Page Updates

I believe a web site should be like a workout scheme, it should be constantly updated, revised and improved ~ otherwise it just aint gonna work.

In keeping with this philosophy, we have just finished giving the front page of our website an overhaul. We've added several new pictures, sections, and a whole lot
more. I think it looks pretty sharp.

Come check it out for yourself right here:

A Tremendous Thank You

You probably didnt realize it but this past January was a record Traffic month for us at oldtimestrongman.com. – In fact, web traffic is up by 1600% over last years January.

That's not a misprint, -- and I wanted to give you my sincerest gratitude for your support.

They say that that the best way to get people to talk about your business is to give them things to talk about, -- and I think it's pretty evident that a lot of time and effort goes into everything we do in order to make it unique.

Each day the site gets better and better...

Sure, it takes more time and effort on our part, but the results are more than worth it - you don't get to be the Best by accident.

As always, if you need anything or if we can answer any questions on anything, just let us know.

Train hard,
John Wood

P.S. We just got another case in of one of my favorite training books and I highly recommend getting your own copy: Keys to Progress by John Mccallum
