Nice one, I just joined healthworks in westend, they do competitive meets there and the manager is training for the aus titles in july i think he said. He does 90kg class and last meet pulled 280kg squatted 300 and benched 200 or so. Jeff someone. really humble guy, I actually thought he was tiny because of the clothes he wore, until i saw him train... his thighs were like my waist he worked upto a 220kg squat with additional chains for reps...

What are the opening hours for Healthworks? I'm going to UQ as of this year which is like across the river... I'd go to the powerlifting club but the opening hours really aren't helpful for training. We could train together if I went there!

Jeff Lam. He runs CAPO comps which I won't be allowed to compete in once I join Powerlifting Australia (different Feds, PA is tested, CAPO isn't).

Skip, the UQ PL Club is a PA club.

I realise this, but it's opening hours are extremely inconvenient ahahaha. My ability to train this year is going to have a lot to do with actually being able to get to the gym.

$3.15/gallon right? Thats like 80c/Litre yeah? You Americans get cheap ****ing fuel lol. It's $1.30-$1.50/Litre over here (and our currency is equal right now looooooool), I know that Europe's fuel prices are even worse than ours.
