New years is just a few days away. Your gym might suddenly become crowded with folks who have a New Year’s resolution to get fit. I’m imploring you to please please please be kind to new people. Oly can be a very intimidating sport to get into on your own, please lend a helping hand if you can, even if someone is taking your favorite platform. I started this sport many years ago and lifted like a giraffe on roller skates, and if it wasn’t for the strangers willing to help me I would have given up immediately.
