This was pretty cool. I got to know Curd Hos a bit through Paul Vaillancourt when I was training with him, and do my best to stay in touch, he's done some really cool things with his store and training studio. Great selection of APT wrist wraps and nice belts. The basment has 5 nice power racks, and more bars than I had name for. Curd was asking about our lifters competing, and with our next meet only 6 weeks away and busy exam schedules, it wasn't the best fit. I love helping out at meets with whatever needs doing, and helps me not to feel gulty for all the world class coaching I've received free of charge in my life.
I was fortunate enough that I got to help out in the warm up room with spotting and loading and generally had the best seat in the house for all the heavyweight benchers. There were some big big boys from Cornwall in these meet, and all benching huge under Scott McDiarmid, who went home with a nice little Canadian record himself. My favorite part of the entire meet was how I literally only knew 2 guys out of 25 competing. I love seeing this sport grow, and the popularity increase. I remember Curd one day at Pauls talking about his big plans for meets and putting on multiple meets a year, I remember thinking that if he could get the people out it would be nuts... and honestly that's right around the corner, and I expect his meet to double in size by next year easily.
