T-Nation comes to Toronto!
Cheap currency exchange and all.
Plus, it’s nice and warm here.

True dat. Minus 32 last night, not factoring in the wind chill. Damn nippy.
Chris, I thought you were on the left coast.
Yes as of right now i am sun bathing in tropical calgary but that luxury will soon come to an end. at the end of january im off to montreal for some urban snowshoeing and bagel bulking.
Where do you all train out there. Im going there to get my olympic lifting level 2 cert and my CSCS and am wondering if there are any sweet facilities to train/work/read “seventeen magazine” on the elliptical at. im down by concordia uni. I should try and get some training in with all of you internet people. I’ve never met an internet person before, im excited. I hope i dont get raped.

Concordia had a weight lifting club open to all. Cross Fit Montreal is just down the hill from the uni, and here is a link to my PL gym, whcih is a block away from Cross Fit at the Atwater exit:

Pro Gym in Hochelaga has an oly room and a pretty good coach too.
For now I train in a commercial gym where I work, thinking of getting out to CF once a week though. My work gym is not motivating enough.

WOW! you train at that epicenter training place? that is awesome. I was looking around for potential places to work and that place was on my “A” list. Is the facility as nice as it looks in the website? How many folks train there. I heard it just started up.
I hope it gets really really busy with lots of contracts just before I get there. That would be the ideal place to train athletes and clients. My big limitation is my poor french, which will ideally get better.
At the very least I will likely find myself training there due to the location and the extremely affordable rates for coaching. I am going to have to look around at those other facilities and see what kind of employment and so forth i can conjure.
It would be best to work at a place where the owners/co-workers buy into progressive methods of training though. We will see. but either way ill see you there.

The gym is owned by Kasey and she opened in June of last year. It is a great place, not very big but with all the stuff needed: 2 racks, a couple benches, lots of plates and bumper plates. Plus ropes, rings, a sled and prowler and other assorted goodies. Mostly she does private and semi private training, and a few hours a week it’s open for power lifting.
Due to the location, I haven’t been able to train there since I started working at a gym close to my house. It takes me a good 45 minutes to get downtown. You should send her an e-mail and get acquainted. It’s for sure a great gym.

The details of the meet are at http://www.niagarapowerlifting.org/upcoming.html. Dianab, ouroboro and myself are lifting with others as spectators/cheerleaders. Apparently it’ll likely be over by 2 or 3pm.

no, i was going to say everyone on the internet is a rapist but then i decided “240 pound hairy pedophile” was a better description.
you’re good either way.
pedophilia is rarely ever not-rape.
