Thank you Mr. Joe Weider

Thank you Joe for everything you have given to not only the bodybuilding industry, but also the health and fitness world which to me is still what bodybuilding is about. March 23rd 2013 we lost the father of modern bodybuilding Joe Weider. Few men have had such an impact on the health industry as Joe has, better yet no man has...not even Arnold. Because without Joe there would be no Arnold, there would be no mainstream health clubs scattered throughout all major cities and suburbs.

Without Joe the whole landscape of bodybuilding and fitness would have been drastically different. Who knows where it would be. Joe single handedly created what we see today. The modern bodybuilding scene, the fitness boom, the huge supplement industry...everything can be traced down to Joe. He created an empire with a vision and a lot of hard work. I can honestly say I am very thankful for what he did and it serves as an example to me what hard work and chasing your passion can yield, for that I thank you Joe and you will live on forever because legends never die.
