Hi All
I'm Martin from south west UK. Aged 36. Been lifting for about half my life. Initially into body building, but got into power lifting a few years ago. Best gym lifts are 660 Squat, 400 Bench & 640 Dead. Unfortunately I've never been able to do this well at meets, and managed to bomb at my last meet when an injured elbow flared up again.
I hoping to have a go at strongman next year and have lost weight so I can enter in the 105kg class. My pressing is my weak point. I've never been good at bench or overheads, but that just makes me try harder.
My interests are weightlifting (though I've never tried this seriously), powerlifting, strongman and although I'm in the UK I follow the NFL.
Joined this forum when I saw the site on Ontario Strongman site. Hoping to gain knowledge and hopefully give some back.
Regards
-Martin
