P.S. the title of the thread was inspired by a strongman competition held between 1988 and 1991 (I think). Videos are available on youtube.

My first day wasn't quite stellar but I was very excited about training in a real gym. Btw. I will be posting my lifts in kilos, thats what we use over here. If you want pounds multiply by 2.2.
