Below is a video of member and Oly Lifter Chris banging out 3 rep front squats at 95kg. In his words he had "trouble at this weight for a single not too long ago". Now he's hitting an easy looking 3 reps.
Put in the effort and you will get the rewards. Chris is certainly proof of that.

VikingD in Afghanistan
My brother Nick, WT member VikingD, is currently on a 6 month tour of Afghanistan. He had told me that he'd been cramming in the training between patrols. I was eager to see evidence of this, it was bound to be epic.
Captain Nick did not disappoint. Here are the pictures - great training shots in the most austere of conditions:
Nick is currently on the "Osprey Diet." This regime involves wearing his "Osprey" body armour and 40 pounds of kit whilst simultaneously fighting the Taliban. In 2007 Nick came back from Afghanistan almost skeletal. It is credit to the soldiers' professionalism that a) a place like this exists and b) they find time in between combat missions to get their training in.
Great stuff, bro.
Food for thought: Lego Death Star.
No Excuses, Train Smart, Charlie.

Eoin Murphy - Olympic Lifting
As well as posts on people's home gyms, I also want to post entries about our member's training.
Today we begin with Eoin Murphy. In 2011 he found a coach at his local gym to teach him olympic lifting, and his progress since then has been brilliant, as can be seen from this video below. This shows him achieve an 87.5kg snatch and 112.5kg clean and jerk, for a 200kg total in training!
You can also follow Eoin's training log on our forum.
Eoin is competing in the nationals (which is awesome for someone who's only been training olympic lifting seriously for under a year) in the coming weeks, so we'll report back on his progress after that.
