Looking for some training partners

[wiwest]

Hello APF CA,
Im new to the sport had my first competion in May in the USPF and looking to move over to the AAPF. I like the idea of competitions a little closer to home. Ive been talking to Steve and he directed me to the forum. I was looking for some local lifters to train with evey once in a while. Im in Tulare and I currently train out of my garage. I have the basics, power rack, bench, lat pull. Im a firm believer that in order to get stronger you need to surrond yourself with strong people. I plan on attending the ironman in fresno to watch and learn. You can antact me through here or at [e-mail]. Thanks

Hi! I get up to Visalia every once in a while, which, I believe, is near you. The next time I head up there we could have a workout.

I read the posts on the WPC-APF Forum. I think you should head down to Chatsworth and have a bench workout with Mendy and his boys. They train late in the evening on Mondays and Fridays. You could leave Tulare at 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. on Friday and make the 9:00 p.m. workout. I think it would help your bench.

Also, I believe you said something about sticking closer to home (Fresno). I drive from L.A. to Visalia in about 2-1/2 hours. From Tulare, it should be a little shorter. It's not something you'd want to do all the time, I understand. But to come down for a Saturday meet a couple of times a year wouldn't be so bad.

Sounds good, you've got my email address, give me a heads up and we can throw something together. Id love some coaching, take all I can get. How would I go about getting in session with Scot? Do I need to contact his place or just drop in?

Steve, here. I'll jump in on this thread. I workout with Scot. We'd love to have you stop by some night. You could call Scot in advance and tell him you'd like to come down for a workout. Or, you could just drop in. I would advise you, however, to let us know in advance that you're coming just in case we're not working out that night for some reason or another.

Ill be in touch, that's really cool how everybody helps each other get better, that's one of the reasons why I enjoy this sport so much
