A real barrier for getting new people in especially in the novice/newbie level. better check from them as soon as possible mate, to avoid disappointment!

technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335 850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	thanks Carl, will join both then slightly off topic, does anyone know any powerlifting gyms in Wigan I currently train at Cats gym in Orrell, but trained as a BB in past and would like some pointers on technique etc

Good base there. if you are looking to hit a comp in january already, might be good to start planning how you ramp it all up and so on. Loads of folk on these forums who can give ideas about that. Do you know where the comp is? Will probably come to watch it since it is the NW divisionals.

The organiser of the nw is les pilling, great bloke give him a call tell him you want to enter, he will put your name down. I'll be there with a couple of my potential ed coans, maybe the golden oldie too, so we will have the craic..now get lifting
