He was doing regular stuff at a commercial gym, mainly benching and arms etc.
He saw footage of Max lifting and asked him on sitonyourfacebook if he could come train.
He then started squatting and deadlifting for the first time. He started like every other sub 80kg kid, albeit one who trained in martial arts.
His lifts are great, but he trains hard and never says no.
I actually cant recall Pierre EVER asking me a question except for, "whats next"
He knew Max from Max's first day at high school, so he knows how much he's progressed. In fact, Max had long ringlets back then, just like Pierre, everyone asked if they were brothers, both boys always replied yes. Pierre is 2 years older than Max.
As far as his original lifts, I only remember the extraordinary ones, Pierre was average, except for the bench.
