a new begining

at the tender age of 58 i started lifting again after not seeing the inside of a gym for over 40years.it started when i took my stepson ashley who started training as means to help him control his a.d.h.d now a year on and im still there.i train at the farm northampton with a great bunch of lads.and as i only weigh 55kg they spend most of there training time stripping the bars down.but on a serious note in the past year i have lifted all over counry and met nothing but encoragement and support from one and all.my thanks to you all

great stuff dave. Welcome to the home of bulls**t.

hi dave mate !!

how did your stepson get on ?

stripping down bars is damn good exersise !

Hello Dave, welcome aboard mate.

thanks for your help and suport mate

BIG DAVE !!!!!

Every credit to you for getting back in the gym!!!!

A few of you may remember Dave as the chap I brought up with me to the Powerlifting Comp at Colne in December? The one changed from Rhinos at the last minute!

I remember Malc, it was good to meet you Dave.

i enjoyed my fist trip up to colne, i found everyone frendly and more than willing to help. id trained for about six weeks for the comp with the intention of totaling 300kg at a bw of 55kg.in the end i managed 290 still 2.5k above the british record and not bad for only six lifts. melc and i are hoping to come back up north to spend a few days training,as soon as we can get thinks sorted.

fair play pal..how is the gym workin for the stepson.

welcome to the site Dave ,I'm the lanky t**t who comes up and trains at the farm occasionally!

"Accident Prone" Ashley we call him at the Farm.
This 125 deadlift is from exactly 1 year ago.
