Getting Started Again!

Training Over 35 Lifter
1

After six months in Afghanistan, third time in the middle east. I am getting back to powerlifting. I did Crossfit in Afghanistan with my squad. Now time to put some strength back in this body. In 1998 I retired from powerlifting. Body weight 310, S 600, B 455, D 600. Now eleven years later, I am 203, 38 years old and have not even tried to do the three lifts.

One I can’t find anyone brave enough to train with. Two, I think all the good lifting clubs are dead. Atleast around here. The health clubs will not allow chalk or AC/DC. So I do what I can. I need some Test.

I actually used to train with one of the older members of West Side Barbell. He got in when you had to beat a guy out of a position to get into the gym. He designed a lot of West Side Equipment. Dayton does not have to many power gyms. If anyone knows of one let me know.
