- Gender: M
- Location: Marrickville
- Training experience (if you have any that is): A little here and there. Made some rep levels for a couple of sports in my teens (judo, rugby league, rugby union) and have followed this forum along with 70s Big for a little while now. But following forums and websites doesn't exactly get your training to where you need it. I have small lifts and have been too inconsistent with my training previously.
- Any Interests: Ice Hockey (San Jose Sharks), Basketball (Philly 6s), Gridiron (Chargers), NRL (Tigers), Soccer (Sydney FC, but will convert to west sydney next season), Football (Queens Park Rangers). Apart from sport I'm also into music (punk, ska, hardcore mostly), TV (HBO series, cartoons, some others, special note to East Bound and Down) and movies (50s-80s sci-fi are possibly my favourites, but I'm down with most. Big Will Ferrel fan too).
Was training at a local gym until they put up too many signs including:
-No dropping weights
-No loud grunting
-No free weights on this section
-No chalk
I just went to PTC sydney tonight after work with a mate and checked it out. Had a long chat with Trent and liked what I saw, going back for my assessment tomorrow. I've lurked on here for a long time so figured now is a good time to sign up.
Looking to develop in all areas but mainly strength/speed with a goal of playing Gridiron this year.

Hi Graeme, welcome to the forums
Will probably see you around PTC Sydney.
I think the only rules Trent has there is "No kebab no entry" and "No kipping pull ups"

Tough Mudder in training
Name: Jared
Age: 23
Gender: male
Location: western Sydney
Training exp: I played basketball for a good 15 years kept me in good shape low body fat % but still fairly skinny, joined a gym in year 11 no idea what I was doing just did whatever after a year I kinda looked a bit diff ( this is after quitting basketball ) then I quit the gym went to basketball again for a year then back to the gym up until about 8 months ago just before i got married. Finally decided to starting lifting again due to wanting to compete in an event at the end of the year.
So for the past 2 months I've been doing squats, deads, bench and OH press. Seeing decent strength gains looking at trying to gain 15kg or so which I'm having trouble with, but slow and steady.
Interests: weights, powerlifting, family, snowboarding, gaming, camping, fishing, mates really anything I can get a buzz out of lol.

Howdy all,
Spent a little bit of time 'lurking around the shadows' - I thought I might introduce myself.
- Name: Rian
- Age: 21
- Gender: Male
- Location: Townsville
- Training experience: almost 2 years BB-ing.
- Any Interests: I'm interested in Powerlifting, but only as a second to BBing. Also a BIG fan of my motorcycle.
I've been working out at one of the best equipped gyms in QLD for the last year or so, but am hoping to trade that for a home gym over the next few years. So if you know of any quality OLY equipment going in the area, let me know.

Thank deep. I'd like to hit a 500kg lift total - Obviously a longer term goal. I'd also like to compete, but won't be able to do that until at least two years from now - I'm in the midst of finishing final year BEng (E&E), and next year I've got a lot of 'on course' training (which means poor quality food and less working out) for the first six months, so the only possibility is the following year, if I'm where I want to be. What are your plans for the next few years?
