Lots of folks around, but you will find the central Vermont contingent maybe
too much of a hike to train with. However we train most saturdays unless
their is a competition, and anyone is welcome. Send me a PM if you are
interested and I will get you directions.
Hope to see you on the field.

Are you anywhere near Everett? Check out Total Performance Sports http://www.totalperformancesports.com/ They are the most heavy duty place I know of in the Boston area.

Let me clarify my statement. TPS is the most heavy duty commercial gym that I know of in the Boston area. There are some individuals in the area who train at home who are pretty bad ass.

I lift at the Original Mike's Gym in Cambridge and I just begun to throw at
some public fields in Belmont, I am new to throwing as well. I have stones,
28# weight, 56# weight, light hammer, and sheaf to throw. If you want to
get together for training or throwing send me a PM.
TPS is the best strongman/powerlifting gym around. Before doing a
powerlifting competition, I will train my last few heavy deadlift workouts at
their facility because they have an oklahoma deadlift bar. I was able to set
the Mass. State APA 275 weight class deadlift record by training on their
okie bar.
Best regards,
John

28th, I'd happily come out on Sat if I knew I could meet up with some
folks to throw with. Lets put addresses together and do this.

Hi, Jasen:
I'll throw with you. I throw at some public fields in Belmont, Mass. The
address to the field is 140 Grove St, Belmont, MA 02478. I'll be around next
saturday, if you are interested.
I have an adjustable throwing weight (can be adjusted to 28, 42 and 56#),
16# stone, and light hammer. Send me a PM if you can get together. I
believe I met you at Rockingham in November.
Best,
John McKenney
