Tonight was a 50% win 50% lose session. I was on a time limit due to prior committments but lost time first as a) someone was fucking around on the lowest possible pin height rack deadlifting in the rack I needed. Then when it was time to bench I was left with a shitty fat grip bar then when I wanted to pause deadlift I had to wait for a bar to free up. Consequently I had to cut short my deadlifts 2 sets early.
Overall it was a good session. Still a little weird though that while I don't feel as in the groove as last year the weights are going up a little better and certainly stronger earlier in the season??
Met another guy, Nathan last night and he has lifted in CAPO before and is keen to train on the team. Therefore at this stage we will have 4-5 guys lifting and representing the gym. Not bad for a mainstream gym.
As I suggested in a previous post I am hoping creating an enclave of powerlifting within a more mainstream gym will help attract some guys to competition that otherwise wouldn't have been exposed to it.
We will organise soft suits, t-shirts etc and coordinate some shared training nights and get the team vibe pumping.
Stay tuned
