Custom handlettering paying homage to the 70s weightlifting scene. "It's big, like people were back in the 70s... Big when you get that way because you're just real damn strong." - Mark Rippetoe
I hate making any kind of critique or suggestion on work like this. I admire hand-lettering stuff so much, but I simply don't possess the skill to do it myself.
Anyway, I think you're using the same lowercase 'o' for the loop(?) of the lowercase 'g' and 'a'. I just think this piece would would look 1,000x better if you didn't.
Hey, Brian - thanks for the constructive criticism! This is one of my first shots (third?) at handlettering, so I definitely have a long ways to go. I'll take your comment about varying the letter forms to heart in the next project! :)

Seriously, though. Brilliant work!
