Hey all. I'm a competitive powerlifter in the USAPL and AAPF in the 198 and 220 classes. However, other sports have often piqued my interest. Highland is one of them.

However, unlike traditional barbell sports, finding someone to train with or even implements to train with isn't as easy with Highland. Does anyone know of a competitor or coach out here? Perusing the boards, I saw someone from Rockford. That's about 40 minutes due West from me. I'm near Elgin.
