Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Hello fellas, I'm Charis, 19, from Cyprus. Moving to Manchester in September for Uni. Last 1rms (while ago) were: DL 145kg, Squat 120kg, BP 85kg. 80kg bodyweight. Not great, but I was combining PLing with conditioning, and boxing, and being in the army 2 years, so progress was fairly slow. I read some of you fellas train an the Sugden center, which is next to where I'll be staying. What sort of times do you guys go, do you train together in group sessions or whatever goes? | ||

 Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Welcome to the site mate! There are still a few guys here that train at Sugden but the original crew have mostly moved on. Alex, Baz, Joni (very rarely) still train there though. Whereabouts in Cyprus are you from? My mum is greek cypriut. A lot of guys here train in and around Manc, loads of folk train at Addlington (if you're keen to train around some pretty f**king good lifters then try and get there, im sure Joni, or Pete or someone would happily take you up there), and if you were ever keen to have a play at strongman then Millsy's in Bolton is the place to go and again Joni could help you get there (he works at the uni). You should start a training log mate. | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | welcome to the forum man! Good numbers there for sure. Sugden gym SUCKS ASS, but you can still get the training done. Its all about getting a crew together IMO. Theres also a new gym opening with oly bars, bumper plates, cages everything you would need, but its been delayed due to planning byreocracy problems. Keep checking here for updates. And adlington, the gem of the north, is of course there  | ||
