This weeks testimonial comes from one of our most dedicated Barbell Club members Dave Skinner. Dave is always relentless with his training and the numbers he put up yesterday certainly shows his hard work is paying off! He certainly did the coaches proud and we cant wait to see the numbers hes going to be hitting in the new year. Dear team NMA, I’m totally buzzing after today - what an event! Well done Ollie for organizing! Anyway, have been meaning to do this for while so here it is… In January this year my 1RMs were: Back Squat = 140 Kg Deadlift = 150 Kg Bench = 90 Kg I moved back from Germany in June and have since then started training at NMA, and have loved every minute (even high rep deadlift day!). Since around September time I have been working specially on my powerlifting at barbell club and I am pleased to report that my new 1RMs are: Back Squat = 170 Kg Deadlift = 190 Kg Bench = 110 Kg (oh, that’s coupled with an 8 Kg drop in body weight since Jan too!) Needless to say I am well chuffed with the gains so thank you to all coaches, your endless wisdom, support and guidance have been invaluable! This, coupled with great banter, has made my time at NMA great! Thank you. Especially thanks to coach Burdett and coach Lyle for the barbell regime. If it weren’t for such great coaching I wouldn’t have made such gains. I am also thankful to the rest of the crew at NMA who make my training fun and challenging, as we spur each other on to big lifts and have even bigger laughs along the way! My thanks go out to you all! I am just shy of my end-of-year targets of a double bodyweight Back Squat (another 4 Kg to find) and 200 Kg deadlift, but I know that I’m in good hands with you chaps and am now setting my sights on higher targets as we head into 2015. I know that with the belief and enthusiasm that the coaches and other members give, greater gains are to come! Muchas gracias Dave Skinner.
