It's Not Just About Lifting...





























Here are some of the fun pics. I was going to go through them one by one and say who everyone was, but I've ended up posting so many that it will take ages, so this post is going to follow the "a picture paints a thousand words" principle.

Just a couple of mentions. The top picture is taken with Bill Phillips, the first M4 at any weight to break through the 400 pound barrier on bench press. Huge congrantulations, Bill. In a better publicised sport, you'd be a superstar, my friend! The last three pictures come under the heading of gay bench porn, and would probably be good for caption competitions!

Five pictures up from the bench porn is me with young Alex, Steve Demeis's nephew. I found I was in everyone else's camera, but not my own, so I got Alex to follow me for 20 minutes with my camera and you can see the results of his work. Thanks, Alex!

If anyone has any specific questions about any of the pictures, or would like me to email them an original, you only have to ask.

Yes, I was in Schwedt this past September with the Masters World Bench Team. It was a great time. Hopefully I will be back on the team again next year!

Good luck with your efforts to get back into the team!
