Euro Aims Get a Further Lift!

Hello Again

As the deadline approaches for entry into the European Drug Free Weightlifting Championships, I am pleased to say I have received further pledges of support from a number of different local companies - these are namely Nortim Tools, KL Precision Engineering, Scorpion Tooling & M & D Services. I would like to thank all of the proprietors of these companies for their ongoing support, as this means I am now able to finance the trip to Switzerland & see if I can grab a few more golds to add to my collection, as well as aiming to smash that elusive 300Kg barrier!

In The News Again - Larry's All Gold

A Recent newspaper article following my Sponsorship Quest

Fancy A Trip to Switzerland ?

Hi friends
I just thought I'd mention that if you weren't busy on Friday 27th-Sunday 29th April, feel free to join me at the 2007 European Single Event Powerlifting Championships being held at Horgen, near Zurich in Switzerland (pending enough sponsorship, that is!) It would be nice to have a few 'followers' to spur me on, as this was something I missed during the World Championships in Bendigo last year ( although the locals took great care of me & formed their own 'possee' ) Just think - you can also do some great skiiing, as well as shop for watches & chocolate! What more do you want ? (apart from free flights & accomodation!)

Incidentally, for anyone who would like more information about powerlifting or the BDFPA ( British Drug Free Powerlifting Association) you can contact me directly via e-mail at larry@championpersonaltraining.com or follow the link in my recommended links section.

Check Out My Hot Links

Hello again
I'm being very productive today, with two blog posts uploaded & a load of calls to the media. Whilst you are checking out my blog, please take a few moments to also investigate my recommended links; these are all contacts that I personally endorse & people who have supported me solidly. I would particularly like to single out Lee Powell - the owner of Severnside Gym; Lee kindly let me do a BBC TV interview at his gym a short while ago, as well as looking after the reporter from a certain well known fitness magazine when he visited. Severnside Gym is gonna be home to me for the next few months as I train for the European Championships, so let me to big up Mr Lee Powell for allowing me to use his facilities & for his ongoing support.

Nutritional Support For Larry

Hi there
Just a quick note of thanks to Gary Sullivan & all the gang at The Lantern Eating House at 62 Bridge St. in Evesham. They have one of my favourite eateries in the area, with an extensive menu & well recommended if you ever pass this way.
Anyway, these guys have pledged to support my quest to Europe, which is really appreciated - nice to get the recognition at a local level too.

Hot Gossip From Well Known Fitness Magazine

Hello again
Just thought I'd give you a little hot news from my friend at a well known fitness magazine. He visited me a short while ago & spent a whole day learning about what goes into the average day of a World Champion Power Lifter; he was also game enough to bring his gym kit along & be 'baptised' ( his words) into Powerlifting training. Anyway, he was accompanied by a photographer who took various shots of me getting cold in the gym with my shirt off! No - seriously, I had a recent mail from him which said that these proof shots he'd seen were superb - these are the ones that should accompany a big article coming out in May, featuring yours truly! Anyway, I have been promised some copies, which I will post here for those who would find them of interest! (unless I get too embarrassed!) NB - this will be after the magazine is published for reasons of exclusivity(sorry)

Just Missed with USN Support

I forgot to mention in last post that I narrowly missed out on sponsorship by USN - Ultimate Sports Nutrition. I had a kind e-mail saying I'd just missed their allocation for 2007, but they were kind enough to send some promo gear & offer a healthy discount on any product I needed. Thanks USN - it all helps.

On The Campaign Trail

Since my last entry, I have been hot on the campaign trail trying to get enough sponsorship together to go to the European Championships. I've also been gearing up to get into training mode, so look out Lee Powell & all at the Severnside Gym - I'll be landing soon!

I must say a few thank you's to the local businesses that again have pledged to help me to get to Europe; these are the guys that have started the ball already rolling - KL Precision Engineering, Nortim Tools, APS Electrical & Keith Rhodes, to name but a few. Cheers guys - the faith & support is all appreciated
