jdanger Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure that article popping up in my feed when it came out was how I found this rad place.

MegaCarp Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Bigs, just admit it...you're secretly jealous of spezzy. Spezz got me into Crossfit. I can't say she has pushed me into powerlifting because thats a combo of Bigs/Gainsdalf/Seth/Wizardtrip, but she changed my thoughts from 'Why can't I?' to 'Why not?' when it came to working out. I feel in part, most nerds instill a bit of themselves into each other, whether its a motivation to do hard things like lift heavy, run far, or eat better/less or just to improve our problem solving skills and outlook on life. All nerds are good...well except Bigs, but thats cause he's jealous of Spezzy...as you were. 4 Quote Link to comment

Drazen Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 It was her Deadlift 101 article that I found in January that helped me fix my form issues, mainly foot positioning. That got me interested in the site so I lurked for 2 months before deciding to join and attempt to participate in the fun. Quote Link to comment
Sam Ashen Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 ^^I found NF by stumbling on her article on Overhead Press. Then I read her articles on Squats and Deadlifts, then watched her 400 pound deadlift video. I only lurked for 24 hours before joining.
