good to go




Well I finally got every thing set back up after almost a year. Now I just need to recruit a few more people to train with. Training is going well, Barry brought a slingshot back from Vegas. This has been a fun addition to our bench training and of coarse Gwen made me one. I got a new pair of Olympic lifting shoes yesterday and I had to try them out today. I was pleased that I still have the flexibility to do full cleans. I quit at 100 kg as my wrists and elbows started to protest. Then went up to a fairly easy 150kg front squat with my arms crossed. It was a good day as I haven't done full cleans for close to 10 years. Next week I'll be adding briefs to my squat days which will be great as feel done with raw squatting. 12 weeks from the battle in Montreal. Its time to go.

back at it


Well I've been here 10 months now and slowly the training and the training areas are coming together. I took down the squat rack and on tuesday I get my monolift back from powder coating I'll be putting it up. Training; this was just a intro week nothing to heavy or hard at least until today. Today was power cleans, clean pulls, then triples deadlifting. everything felt good until 190 kgs on the deadlift that's when I found out that my body is not use to cleans and such because I barely pulled a triple at 190. I plan to do this for a couple of months. Then get ready for the Battle of Montreal in January.
