I met John in the Marine Corps. I signed my contract more-or-less as a 98-lb weakling, and though I had gained a bit of weight prior to shipping out to bootcamp, I was still far from Marine material.
When I was there, I met "Recruit Reynolds" and aside from gaining a great friendship, John taught me a lot about how muscles work and how to exercise best. Through this knowledge, his helpful motivation, and a touch of "espirit de corps", I was able to go from barely doing two pullups to five in a couple weeks.
These days I can do 100 pushups without breaking a sweat, or even a dozen or so one-armed, and I really owe it all to John.
