Good Morning from South Wales

Hi guys,
I'm totally new to the weightlifting/strongman scene and thought I would say a quick hello and thanks in advance for all answers and tips that will inevitably be given in response to my questions.

I've never done anything like this before, but after watching WSM over xmas and the past few weeks its something I really want to have a good go at.

I'm going for my first ever session down the gym today and will try to do my best Squat,Deadlift and bench so I have a baseline to work from.

So I will post my stats later hopefully.

Awesome site by the way, learnt tonnes already from reading existing posts.

will do mate. I'm gonna write everything down in a notepad too so I can track my progression.

Where do you train bud?

Just started today at the fitness studio in Pontardawe, few miles outside of swansea.

I know it, I'm from pontardawe myself. Living in Clydach now.
If you want somewhere to train for strongman I go to the warehouse in port Talbot on a Sunday when I can.
They've got everything there and there's a good bunch of lads to train with too.

Welcome to Sugden and good luck with your training

I might just take you up on that offer in a few weeks. Gonna have a couple of weeks getting my body into the swing of things first though.

Cheers Wayne.

Journal is now started, just gotta get into the habit of filing it in all the time now. Lol.

Welcome to sugden mate , youve come to the right place to get into strongman , Im just up the road from you in neath and train with Simon down the warehouse , as he says your more than welcome , all different levels down there so dont feel like you have to be lifting big numbers before you start , just rock up and have a go

sounds really good to me. :-)

Will definatly pop down in a few weeks and have a blast.

Thanks guys :-)
