[MR. BMJ]

Never heard of these guys. Thanks BMJ.

Skip has been around since around the early 2000's, maybe late 90's. He is the admin for Intense Muscle, which used to be a very popular forum. It's still up, but very very slow. Older DC posts, homonunculous, various bodybuilders, et al used to post there. @Massive G was a Mod there once as well. Skip used to coach/prep Phil Heath early on. Andrew Berry has been around since the early-mid 2000's. I'm not sure what all forums he used to post on, but he's worked with DC, Meadows, et al over the years. Both Skip and Andrew used to post over on ProM as well...and a few other forums.
