It'll be the best thing you've ever done, I guarantee you will love it.

Once you guys start lifting, you will realize you only ever really compete against yourself. I'm not making this shit up, its exactly how it will be.

All my guys simply try and lift more each time they compete.

yep exactly..... When you speak to fellow lifters very rarely will anyone talk about beating another person all they are conserned about is lifting the best they can and breaking PBS. If anyone is thinking about entering do as markos has said and jus enter. entering in a comp will drive you to train harder and progress.

Done! Its in my diary. But I'm going to need a coach. I've never had anyone coach me on form before or help me prep for a comp. If I start lifting at Jeff's gym I'm sure that will go a long way.

Cheers,
Mike

Definitley Mike some advice on building up towards October 23rd would be great, even just knowing what to expect. From the looks of things you and I are going to competing weight wise, we have very similar lifts

. I'm keen already.

Dont know if there are too many better benchers than Jeff Lam from what I saw at the Nats.

Also possibly the nicest PL on the planet.

Now this is mean. My shoulder shits itself then someone holds a bench comp open to the public and in driving distance from me.

Dammit!

Hey guys, anyone wanting help on their bench or anything at all, my doors are always open. Just for everyone's info, there is a group of us that train heavy bench on a Saturday at my gym or at Mason's, usually around 10 or 11, if you give me your email i can confirm times and venue each week. I know Scott has gotten a lot out of coming to these sessions just before the Nats.

Jeff,

That is an awesome offer! And 10 or 11am Sat is perfect. I'll PM you my email but was planning on swinging by your new gym this weekend at about that time anyway to discuss joining and all that stuff. Of course, I was planning on bringing my gear and squeezing in a bench workout if possible...

Scott, Michael if you're interested we could meet there.

Cheers,
Mike

That is a very generous offer Jeff.
Mike, I will always be at Jeffs on saturday mornings. Just the little bits of advice go a long, long way.

EDIT: Mike, Jeff cant PM untill he has reached 10 posts.

Put in for the time off today, will be down around the 20th, best I could apply for, was hoping to have a catch up before hand, but looks like i may see you all on the day, or might try to catch up with some of the north brisy folk on thurs, or friday.
for some last minute pointers. The gym manager seems interested to help me with stuff and I have a few old power lifters here I could get pointers from.
