Westie in Wellington

[Snatchy McClean]

Hi all,

I've been creeping around here for a while and finally signed up today; this site seems like a good way to help squander the 9 - 5.

I'm a rugby league fan (cursed to supporting the Warriors), play indoor soccer and lift weights in my basement for kicks. And being from the dirty west I'm into tattoos of course.

Have been into training for about 3 years now - the last 18 months focusing on 3 x 5 (starting strength derived) strength training combined with olympic style weight lifting. Love the explosive lifts and the associated CNS fry.

My 2011 goals are a 100kg power clean and jerk (85kg being my current best), 200kg deadlift (pulled 170kg at last testing) and 120kg olympic front squat (haven't tested my max but lately pushing 95kg for a 3 x 5).

I roll around at 182cms and 90kg bodyweight with 15% of that created by beer.

Looking forward to joining in some of the lively convos around here, cheers!

Jay

Nice goals bro, welcome!

Sorry, but anything with snatch in it is just funny but good luck with your goals!

To a 15 year old yes, yes it is.

Both definitions of the snatch are wonderful things, not to be trifled with or joked about. If I said jerk would you giggle too?

Cheers though haha.

Drizzt is that the Taranaki St powerhouse gym in your avatar? I've never been in there; I train cardio at BPM and do my other lifting at home as I have a weight-lifting platform and bumper plates.

I've heard it's the only gym with proper platforms in Wellington?
