We Now Pause for a Word from Our Sponsor

September 05, 2006

Once again, I've gotten backed up in answering questions from readers about my books. I enjoy answering the questions, but I always end up with the same problem: I spend way too much time answering the first couple of questions, and then never get around to answering the next five or six in my mailbox.

I'm not choosing favorites or anything like that; I usually just pick a question or two at random, give a detailed answer, and then realize I'm behind on everything else I'd planned to do that morning or afternoon. Some days I wish I could be short-winded, but it's just not the way my brain works.

My problem is hardly unique among those who write about fitness and nutrition. Some authors put out newsletters, in which they answer two or three questions a week. Some create a system of premium memberships, in which those who pay a monthly fee get forum time and individualized advice from the author.

Neither of those solutions would work for me. I don't really have anything to offer that would be worth a monthly fee, and I've done newsletters in the past and just don't have any interest in doing them again.

But there is a simple and easy way to get questions answered: Over at JP Fitness, we have a special forum set up to answer questions regarding New Rules of Lifting. You can scan through the FAQs and other forum topics, and probably find the answer to whatever question you have. If you have a truly unique question, you can start a new topic and probably get an answer in less than an hour. I don't jump in on every topic, but there are plenty of regular posters who've read the book and done the programs, and they've been extraordinarily helpful to their fellow enthusiasts. It's really a great community over there.

If you have a question related to another one of my books -- Book of Muscle, Home Workout Bible, or Testosterone Advantage Plan -- you can try the general training discussion or nutrition forum.

Also, if you're going to purchase one of my books online -- which, of course, is very much appreciated -- please use the links on the right. (They're the same as the ones I used in this post.) I get small commissions for each book sold via those links, and that's how I pay the bills for this site.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled blogging.
