Powerlifting

[jangles]

Interesting thing about Joey, big talker, trained at PTC for 3-4 sessions, a few of his mates lifter here, bought a crowd to watch him. A year after his first comp he comes back to see how much he's improved. Nothing, zero. Trains at FF South Yarra.

I pointed out to him Alex beat him by 170kg and Jason is lighter yet still beat him by 95kg, both boys have been here about 7-8 weeks.

Now wants us to do a program for him...........its not the program girlfriend.

Thing is at FF he is "strong", he didnt like it here, guys in his class total 250kg more than him, pretty embarrassing, IF you have an ego.

The guy is straight on FB this morning telling all his clueless friends how well he did.

Guys like this dont train at PTC nor do they ever improve.

Thats interesting he has noviced before and attended PTC at least, makes it worse so to speak. the first thing I thought was 'his total is a fairly low' then compared it to Jasons as i read down the list.

250kg+ inspires me and sets my goal posts.

Guys like Joey are everywhere, and in the most part I dont have any issues with them, but he "tried" to make the crossover but his ego didnt allow it, no problem, just dont act like your Ed Coan on FB or to your mates at my gym. I had to shut one of them down unfortunately, ugly, but it had to be done.

I was very impressed by all the other 10 lifters, very sound lifting techniques, a good time was had by all.

I didnt know 6 of the lifters, they told me they all hit PB's in each lift, very encouraging.

Next Novice comp is October.

I have the BIG BENCH in August, a bench press only event, very popular, go figure lol

Images such as the above bother me.

Open a PTC in Canberra ya bum! haha....I don't like the majority of Elite's clientele, and Gold's appears to be fairly similar

I'd love to mate, time and money hold me back

Well WHEN you do (hehe), I know of a handful of people who'd sign up in a heartbeat - myself included.

I'll keep that in mind

"Troy training in my PTC? Yep - scratch Canberra from the list. Can't have that dickhead there!"

bahaha

[markos]

Dont assume everyone training at my PTC is awesome, very far from the truth

[markos]

[Trozzle]

haha I see...though I can be sure it's a very different kind of person to what I'm used to around these parts - in a good way.

Does that mean no to the Doncaster ptc too?

[NickR33]

lol @ Nick's not from Nautilus... bloody well feels like it these days!

Does that mean no to the Doncaster ptc too?

No point, Carrum Downs is 25 minutes from there. Once we moved to the new place we canned Doncaster.

I have picked up a few clients from Definition 352

I have clients that live in Fitzroy that train here 5 x week, school kids that catch 2 buses from Mt Martha, around an hour, but thats why Conor squats 240kg @ 17yo

It would be great to have 50 PTC Gyms, but I reckon we would struggle to find 50 good coaches
