What a lucky day!

Man, I had a lucky day today.

My wife and I just moved to College Park, MD so that we can finish our B.S. degrees at the University of Maryland. I have always trained alone, but I heard of a small gym in nearby Laurel, MD where some powerlifters trained. I walked into the gym tonight, psyched because I was going to finally meet some other powerlifters who I could train with.

When I got to the gym, it was tiny. I mean really tiny. A few benches, some squat stands, and a few other misc. pieces of equipment. And then I looked at the 3 people who were in the gym, one of whom was Kirk Karwoski!

I'm like, "Hi, I want to train here". And he's like, "Hi, I'm Kirk". And I'm like, "Captain Kirk! I know who you are!" So, then I trained deadlift with him, and he gave me a bunch of pointers. Very nice. He's a really cool guy. I'll be training with him again on Monday.

That's awesome!

How big were his legs?? Those things look bigger than my whole body, lol!!

Was he throwing around big weights?

He is humongous all over, not just in the legs. We were talking about lifting suits, and he asked me how big my legs were, because he said he had some old suits of his that I could use. He said his legs were 34" at one time.

He went up to 625x5, which looked easy to me, but he said he was really tired today and called it a day after that.

His legs were as big as my waist!!! And according to the guys loading my concrete as Sutherlands the other day, I am fat.

Training with the Captain would be incredible. You are indeed lucky. Maybe you will meet Sioux-Z as well. I think she is the captain's girlfriend, and one of the best female powerlifters around.

The chance to train with one of the top PL guys is really going
to give your training a boost.

I graduated from the Univeristy of Maryland at College Park. It
is a great school. My years at U of M were some of the best
in my life. Enjoy your time there.

Sioux-Z was one of the other 2 people there. I didn't know who she was at first. She's training for an IPF championship coming up soon. I didn't realize she's as good as she is until we started training; She looks to be about 100 pounds, but was deadlifting somewhere around 300.
