Any other powerlifters here from indiana?
What part of Indiana are you from. There are a few of us from IUPUI
Jason Pegg trains at DC Barbell in Muncie if you are near by. Pegg’s a good dude and really knows his stuff.
If you are in Indy, I’m currently going to Mike Robertson and Bill Hartman’s facility and highly recommend it.

Jason peggs place is little over an hour from me .I met Mike Roberts at a USAPL meet in November of last year.
I-Fast is where we train. The 2 other guys I train with along with myself are officers of the Lifting club here at IUPUI. I live on the Westside of Indianapolis and they are up on the Northside near I-Fast.
I thought the guys I was with were the only indiana guys! hahaha Not really, but we are few and far between. Mike Robertsons gym is pretty weet, Ive been a few times. We have a monolift, if gear whoring is your thing.

Also there is a 24hr powerhouse in kokomo with a powerlifting room and also there is a powerlifting gym in Wheatfield, IN if you live up north called Hoffman’s Barbell (where i train)
I knew there was DC in Muncie but I had no idea there was anything else. I thought the only other place was in Bloomington and shut down a few years ago.
Good to know. Good luck this weekend by the way Jason!
I am in northwest, In, near the Illinois border. My gym is closing for good this week. I am going to have to travel some.
Yeah i was just wondering.Im the only SOB that powerlifts around my neck of the woods. Indiana sure as hell not a hot bed for it.

Where you at in Indiana, bulldog?
Im from a small town called Greensburg.We have a local Y and a 24 hrs fitness(Would never lift there on principle)Any way I have been back at training for two years in my garage.Well i thought it would a nice change to lift at a place with heat.So my family joined the Local Y.My main goal was to hook up with some guys who might be interetsed in getting stronger.Oh boy was I wrong.So much for the idea of getting a crew together around this area.
Im from Richmond. Me and a group of guys have a key club called The Factory. We started it after our gym in town went out of business. Its pretty cool, loud music, chains rattling and chalk dust in the air.
That’s awesome! I’m originally from Greenfield. Might have to make a trip out to check it out sometime.

Actually I think Z Riley or Mike was talking about him last week. I don’t know them personally but I’ve heard their names before. I’m only 21. Graduated in 07’ so a youngin
Pegg, Zach and MR (and possible Justin Ware, too) have both mentioned Justin Cecil to us. Small world.
Bulldog, NIFS is downtown on IUPUI’s campus, but that seems like a pretty steep ride. I’m pretty sure Mike Robertson was talking about a powerlifter in Bloomington that he met up with to examine his pull a little while back. That may be a little closer for you if this guy has a group to train with?
By the way, I was one of the guys representing I-FAST at that meet in November. Small world again.
