Went to Bournemouth yesterday for the BPC British.
The Good
- Met a couple of powerlifters on the train down. We talked about training, how silly Curt is online, and briefly touched on the ESN -
- Met my internet friends and internet acquaintances who all turned out to be cool.
- Awesome atmosphere.
- Lots of record attempts including 455.5 from Bolton which was close-ish.
- Glenn Ross – living legend.
The Bad
- Squat and bench aren’t really good spectator sports because of the big metal things and army of spotters that obscure the lifter. Deadlift, snatch and C&J obviously don’t suffer from this.
- Fletch didn’t win.
The Ugly
- Curt. But really, he seems like a nice guy in real life, especially for a chav. He’s quiet, which is surprising considering online he doesn’t know when or how to STFU. I’m not sure if he knew who I was. He is also big, gear or not.
