Making a comeback

[John O]

Hello all,
I have decided to come back to this great sport after being away for about 15 years. I'll be 50 this July.... and a couple of weight classes up I lifted with the ADFPA & USPF in Maryland
Competed @ 132 now 155. Not sure which would be better drop to 148 or up to 165 ?????????

Anyway a lot has changed I see!! I haven't even been follow the sport. Gear has changed to huh? :blink: LOL

Look forward to meeting you all.

John O.

Thanks. Looking forward to coming back. I always had a blast.
It was so cool to see someone yelling stomping and cheering you on in a lift... and it be from someone in your own weight class! LOL I lifted in Maryland and had the same lifters in every meet. @ 132 there were not that many , about 5 of us, we really got to be good friends cheering on.. and jeering each other after a miss LOL.Met a lot of great people in this sport!!!

Hope it's still like that.
