Powerlifting/Strongman Newbie

[MGS]

Hi there as you can see this is my first post so a big hello to everyone. I am new to lifting my background was more MMa/grappling(not done it for a while) i have done weights before but with no serious consistancy. I have just turned 33 and would like 2008 to be a year where i can seriously accomplish something. I would like to get into Powerlifting or Strongman but don't have a clue where to begin i am 6ft 2" and weigh about 200lbs. Can anyone suggest either somewhere local i can begin serious training or a routine i can do at home that will put me on the right path.I live in between Mansfield and Chesterfield which is the Notts/Derbyshire border.

Any help advice would appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Matt.....
