Hi All! I just wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself. My name is Stacey, I have been lifting very light on and off for the last 3 years. About 3 weeks ago Ron had me bench alot more weight than I was used to lifting. I LOVED IT!!!!! He also planted the seeds of competition in my mind. I spent three days thinking about that and finally my competitve nature won. I am now working with Ron (and Joey sometimes) to build my core strength. I am so excited to be learning about powerlifting, Ron has encouraged me to begin posting my workouts and I will, once I get my nerve up, I still have so much to learn! Any advice from anyone for a newbie will be welcomed! Many thanks to Joey and Ron for all their help and encouragement! I look forward to getting to know you!

Awww Thanks Kara!!! ;D You guys are awesome!!! The changes in my body in the past few weeks are amazing. I never saw any with high reps and low weight. Seeing the changes so quickly make such a difference. I feel stronger too! I really am beginning to love it!! Thanks again for your support! I cant wait to meet the two of you!!!
