Hey from Newbie Women Powerlifter in Manukau

[wahagirl]

Hi all,

Hope you all had a great New Years.

Turning 40 this year got me motivated to lose 25kgs and now i've added Competitive Powerlifting to my list.

Rather than hanging on to 39 as long as i can, i'm looking forward to being fit and fab at 40.

Looking forward to meeting you all, have a great year and happy lifting

Hey,

Yeah I had a great time and it was great to meet you all. I found some Sheiko beginners training plans on google so have downloaded the #29 to start with and see how that 4 week cycle goes. Thanks heaps for that tip.

After watching my vids, yes, definately some work to do, but it's all progress. If you can let me know when you guys are getting in the belts etc i've got the money put aside for a belt. the same size as yours would be great it think.

Once again, it was great to meet you all and I hope to come up for a day trip to see you soon otherwise i'll see you at the Aucklands end of the month.

Will order you a belt this week.

You had a great first outing and showed good strength considering where you have come from and what you changed with your weight :clap: Keep training hard and if there's anything we can do just holla :nod:

Thanks Steak

Have decided to take Bar-belle's advice and am starting a 4 week cycle of Sheiko #29 this week. Hopefully will see some gains. :pray:

Thanks for ordering the belt, I appreciate it.

See your Coast team again soon and I look forward to hearing from you soon

Wise move, Wahagirl, Sheiko #29 has been good to many of us. Follow the template, keep some good records, and prepare to be amazed at what you can do!
