New to the site

[karl]

im new here so thought i would say hi.

im 17, and have been training for about a year now

my best lifts to date are 125kg bench, 160kg squat and 155kg deadlift (although the last two were for at least 2 reps, so could go up fairly easily). im currently wieghing about 97kg.

looks like a great site, so look forward to hearing from everyone

ps if there is anyone in the yeovil area let me know, would be good to find someone to train with occasionally.

Welcome to the site Ger.

[cornelius parkin]

Hi Ger i saw you compete in Clara i believe,my little brother was competing there,you were fun to watch:) i like a nice aggressive lifter:mrgreen:

[gerthebear]

haha its the only way ill actually budge a weight.yeh clara was great, my first but certainly not my last competition.seen eyr results from previous comps and i guess the word phonomenal springs to mind. Ive been resistance training for maybe over a year but only traning powerlifting style since november. i plan to be significantly stronger (and more aggressive) by the wdfpf worlds in november and then compete equipped next year. will you be in limerick for the WPF worlds?

[cornelius parkin]

Thanks man.
Your damn strong for that long training!:o
I started when i just turned 19 just turned 20 recently now but i did bb before this.
Nah man i wont be competing in that comp i compete in the GPC and will go to those worlds in Belgium end of october.
Pity they had no music in Clara i think that would have helped the atmoshere!

[gerthebear]

haha cheers man,well i hope to get stronger.my dad was competiting there too.800k total @100kBW.there was alot of things missing in clara man,i actually posted a reply to a thread u and big frank mcgivney were talkn about called irish comps..yeh i was just wondering if you wud be popping along to limerick to watch,yer from down there yeh?.ill be headn down alongside bernie delaney i think.

[cornelius parkin]

Oh sorry man i never saw your post i am very rarely on that site cause its dead.
Yeah i live pretty close to Limerick(near nenagh)i honestly dont know yet man if i will be going to watch it.
Thats a good total by your dad man power must run in your genes;)
If you have msn you can reach me on the address at the bottom of this post its nice to have more irish lifters here(there has been an explosion of irish lifters on this site in the last week!)
