Indeed I was, but I'm definately a powerlifter now. No turning back. Gridiron appealed to me because I saw it as a way to give focus to my training and use my strength/speed. But I've actually gone and got stuck into this.

For those that missed it, here is how my first competition went: http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=3166689#post3166689 And in an inconvenient reverse order, here are the five workouts I've had since then: DE Upper - Thursday December 11 2003 Speed Bench 165 x 3 x 8...

Thanks for checking up on me :) I've been very busy with my new job. 7am start requires a 5am alarm clock, so a lot of my usual internet time is gone. Still reading the forums when I can, but not much posting. Just finished my first week of training after I took the majority of the week off...

I'm about to step out the front door to compete in my first meet. I know I'm not going to make any ground breaking lifts even by my own standards, given I haven't trained for this and I'm competing raw. However, I've got a lot to learn and hope to have a fun day. My weight is on target. I...

Bro, that's all pretty gay.

That sums it up for me and is why I'll end up marrying my girlfriend.

I am required to lift, so I lift. That is enough.

Best plagiarism ever.

You should be very proud of yourself :)

I don't know how you could disagree with any of the myths posted by Debaser. They are the cold hard facts (which is what he always presents). Like people have said, mentally you might have to change things up just to stay sane and motivated, but that has little to do with progress in a PURELY...

For the moment I'm happy to lift in my Asics. They're perfect for my feet and body. Unfortunately they do compress, but I need arch support. In a perfect world, I'll fit my orthotics into some chucks (if that's possible) or appropriate lifting shoes...
