Hi everyone. So a little bit of background. I have been training since 2006 and I am 34 years old. I am and NSCA-CPT, but I really did not start PL until Last October 2008. I have been fortunate enough to meet and work with Charles Staley and some of his team members. I am currently hoping to compete by the end of summer 09 or early fall 09. I have to admit when I first started training and studying for my NSCA cert. I was more of an endurance trainer. Last October when I was at the Annual Staley Summit a light went off and I realized something. That training can be fun and why the hell am I not competing or have some type of goal in mind. That is how I discovered how great PL truly is. Just 7 months ago at 5'7' I was a scrawny 142 lbs. After I got to flip my first tire I knew it was time to get strong. Now, I am at 178 lbs. I have had much help and guidance from some of the Team Staley guys and they continue to help me. Lifting has become such an important part of my life that I am hoping to meet other serious and more experienced lifters and eventually train with them. I do have my own gym in my garage in Albuquerque, but it would be nice to be around some other lifters. It is hard for me to find friends that are serious to train with. Most commercial gyms are not very PL friendly and I am not interested in speaking with their sales rep "trainer". Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself with a little more detail and hopefully get to know everyone here.
