hello there boys and girls.

just thought id sign up to this board after seeing Justins name on another board. so here i am!

my name is pete, im 23, and a powerlifter in training. first BPO contest was last weekend which i sucked ass at but was good experience. got the europeans to look forward to in 10 weeks time now, and thats where all my efforts are aimed now.

hope to share and learn some knowledge with you all.

regards,

pete

Hello Mate, welcome to UKM.

What are your stats?

[Justin Hurley]

Hi Pete,

Good to have you here mate.

Being too hard on yourself mate, go and kick ass in the europeans.

[big-pete]

well im 23 (still classed as junior)LOL
6ft
264 on the day (255ish noramally)
best lifts.....
280kg sqaut
200kg bench
280kg dead

but theres a good 20kg in reserve for deads and squat. bench is a bout the max for now. but want 800kg+ for next comp

cheers Justin, not being hard just realistic. "mistakes are there to be learnt from and if the mistakes are repeated then the person is a fool". one quote i heard years back, and its true. so i gotta face it.

spoke to Dai yesterday, gonna go down Bristol and train with him and Craig and get a bit of a beasting in the next couple of weeks,l really looking forward to it, and scared at the same time. lol

[Rob Thomas]

Some good lifts there mate.

[big-pete]

cheers rob!

[big pete]

Oh, now this is going to get confusing lol

My dibs on the name though, I beat you in coming here by a day, so neh ner neh nah na :D

[Justin Hurley]

You have good lifts. Your also a good all rounder like Dai and Craig.
My bench lets me down, I want to bring it up to speed, 185-190kg would do me for now, but I'm only at 165kg atm. I just can't get used to this Rage X I got, it punishes my shoulder joints, worse than raw.
It wasn't so bad up in Tyseley, it was either that Dai set it on my shoulders better or it was the volterol and Ibuprofen I swalled, or a combination of both.

LOL... I would be apprehensive too. Craig and Dai are very powerful. Look forward to the hearing about the session.

[big pete]

hi pete, i noticed that the name had gone so i just put a _ in the middle, lol



Ah right, that will be me being 'tech slow' then? lol
