Thank You Optimum Nutrition and ABB
by: Joe Lyons - August 15th, 2008Last Sunday I was walking through the grocery store and noticed that the new Muscle and Fitness was out. It was surprising to see me in there. I immediately grabbed two copies and went into the checkout line. While checking out the lady asked me "you realize you have two of the same magazine?", and I responded "Yes I do...it's my National Magazine Debut!" and showed her. She was almost as excited as I was! LOL
I'm alone on a two page ad on pages 8-9 and with Kayla on page 38. This is a dream come true for me. Ever since I used to stop and read Muscle and Fitness and Flex as a teen I always wanted to be in one.
I wanted to thank everyone at Optimum Nutrition and ABB for the support and the opportunity to be in one of their ad campaigns. I also wanted to thank Bob Corbett from Optimum Nutrition for all the support and making all this possible

OK just got back from Walgreens and picked up a copy. Nice work, really looks great! Hey you signing M&F copies in Rockford, IL on the 22nd of November?

I agree Kayla! It's funny because people I show the ads to ask me if you're my wife and comment on how beautiful you are. I tell them you are a good friend of mine with a great Husband. :)
Sean - of course I'll sign it :)
Thanks Scuba!
