He was proud of the training partners he had in the gym to accompany him on that journey to Mount Olympia. Continuing, he said he didn’t gossip about anyone, which set a standard that others followed.
His Temple gym has been like a temple for him as he could work away in silence without letting the outside world know how hard he was working. It has helped him to put all his energies into producing another improved version of himself for the coming Olympia.
Whenever he comes to Birmingham, he visits the gym packed with “hallowed grounds.” His visit brings back so many precious memories. Further, he wrote, “Even though I was just standing outside, I could still feel the historic energy that surged throughout that sacred place from all those who trained there over the years.” Earlier, he relived those unforgettable days again by meeting his former training partner, Paul Baxendale, after 30 years.ADVERTISEMENT
