Evening all

Postby Oddjob62 on Fri Feb 15, 2008 11:41 pm

My name's Alex and i'm a liftaholic.

Played rugby at school (prop), American football at Uni (NT, C) and been lifting seriously for the last 5-6 years.

Aiming to Sq/Bn/Dl at least 200/160/240 this year, and hopefully get rid of this belly that's been haunting me for so long.

Currenty following a WSB-esque routing, lifting 3-4 times a week, while slowly trying to get some more cardio into my life (my pet hate).

Anyway... that's me for now.

EDIT: Oh and cheers to Bison for the invite :D

Hi mate

Our Karla is about to go westside. So it's good to have someone with experience of their methods on board.

Excuse the slight off topic.. anyone got a link to a WSB training plan? Either my google skills are shit or its not easy to find on the interweb. Going by the interviews Louie Simmons its old school hard and heavy with no gimmicks.. but wouldnt mind looking at a specific regime.
