As the name “Iron Cult” might suggest, I do not embrace popularity at the cost of integrity.  I am not here to boast of my experience and accomplishments, for many have accomplished far greater feats than I.  So you may ask, “Why should I take the time to visit your site, Vishwanthar?”  In truth, I do not have a really “good” answer to that question.  Nevertheless, I would like for you to consider that I have been an avid student of life for as long as I can remember.  I continuously conduct research through many venues—the internet, books, correspondence with peers, etc—in order to upgrade my knowledge.  Many times in the past I have suffered severe injuries experimenting with rigorous bodybuilding routines, and on occasion, admittedly, I still have a tendency to become a bit overzealous and extend my limits; but in the main, I have learned that balance and integration are the keys to real physical fitness.  In short, I have discovered the value of variety and functional training as means of injury prevention, and I would welcome the opportunity to share with you a few of the insights I have gleaned during my ongoing quest for “fitness”.
