Default New but not "new"!!

Hey folks!! I found this board thanks to Bev McD and BDR (don't worry I'll behave). I've been competing since 1987. I'm the Arizona APF State Chairman, APF Executive Committee Member, WPC Referee and an Elite Powerlifter.

I'm co-owner of RIP Gym in Peoria, AZ and have a small but good group of lifters currently training with us. Stay Strong, RB

Hey! Another newb. I'm sure there's lots to learn here. j/k
Welcome. I'm sure, with that background, you'll be a valuable asset to the board.
Whatever they said about me, it's not true.

I'll take your word on that RR! Welcome to a great forum. Informative, friendly, and people who are respectful even when they disagree. Hard to find it seems these days.

There are some amazingly bright and informed people here, on a variety of subjects. Enjoy!

You bet! I'm judging. I'm really looking forward to it. I think it's shaping up to be a really good meet. It'll be nice to finally meet you in person!

Thanks all!!

A little more I guess. I'm 41 and lift in the 308 lb. class. I'm 5'10" to 5'11" depending upon the workout and time of day. I walk around anywhere between 305-320 lbs. My meet PR's are 942 lb. squat, 573 lb. bench and a 673 lb. deadlift.

I've been married for 17 years, have two daughters, 16 and 14. I'm a jack of all trades and now a master of one. I'm ex-blue collar having worked in plant construction, heavy equipment operation. I served our country for 8 1/2 years in the Army National Guard and then the Navy. I now work with Apprenticeship programs and manage all of Arizona's registered Apprenticeship programs. SS, RB

You cross through Glendale and you are in Peoria. Center city to center city by Google is 13 miles. As you know though there is no definable border and they just roll together. Do you live in Phoenix? SS, RB
