Ive met Mark Felix, I sometimes like to pretend ive trained with Mark Felix because we were training at Addlington at the same time.

Also at the brits last year I met Glen Ross who I got a photo with between the bench and deadlifts.
Also at last years Brits I got a photo with the legendary Svend Karlsen.

All three seem like sound blokes.

Svend Karlsen is definitely on my "would like to meet" list!

I met Eddie Elwood about 20 years ago when he did a bodybuilding seminar type thing.
He is the biggest bloke I've ever seen !
I remember being totally blown away with the size of him.

And I met Mark Felix recently when I collected my Winter Giants tickets from his house. Seems like a nice chap.
