Marc's Dropping Training Logs...

…into the toilet that is the internet… log.

I’m a weightlifter in general (not oly or powerlifting) just in the sense that I pick up weighted implements in various ways kind of weightlifter.

I have been competing in unequipped powerlifting for 2 years now and have had some reasonable success a few scottish and british records placed second in a few meets nothing to write home about. I also moonlight with some olympic lifting and am going to try and compete in that in the near future.

I have a Youtube channel for anyone that wants to check out some shitty lifting - http://www.youtube.com/user/IrishMarc1

So anyway enough of the textual masturbation and on to dropping lovely nuggets of internet poop into my T-Nation log.
