Freakin’ small world…

Name rings a bell. For some reason I have this idea a guy named Gabriel Velasco used to train there. He came out to a ProRaw a couple of years back.

Ha! World keeps getting smaller… Gabe was the dude that introduced me to powerlifting like 7-8 years ago. We trained together for years at a bunch of different gyms throughout Northwest Arkansas, but he moved a few hours away so don’t get to hang much anymore. I’m guessing you’re “THE” Markos? If so, I definitely did not put that together until just now…

Fuck, no I’m not Markos Markpoulos :laughing:

I’m just some nobody Aussie powerlifter trying to make a name for himself one day.

Haha well you threw me off with the username and knowing enough about Gabe to recall what gym he trained out of. They hung out a bit while he was down there. Did you get to meet Gabe or do they just do a good job of announcing/promoting details about the competitors?

This whole time I thought he was Crocodile Dundee’s nephew.

They’re just good promoters. Plus I follow Gabriel on Facebook.
