I seriously lucked out!! Found a trainer at my gym so I can learn good form -- he's the only trainer there who lifts heavy. He's on the university powerlifting team (same school I attend). Turns out, there's a club... I went and checked it out tonight. I'll stay with him at the gym till I'm able to handle an empty 45 lb. bar, and then I'm cancelling my membership and joining the club. He told me there are even several other women who train there. I'm so excited!!

That rocks! Not gonna lie - I'm jelly. I need at least one trainer session with a power lifter or an oly lifter but I haven't had any luck with my google foo. I'm seriously considering going up to visit one of my MFP friends who I know has one (I honestly even looked at where you lived but no, Florida is a LITTLE bit far.... haha)0

Thats awesome! Being part of a club sounds like so much fun!
Tameko - Come up to Seattle; I will introduce you to Brian, lol!
But for real, when I was on the USA PL website, I found the WA USPL club and they have a Facebook group that I ended up joining. I haven't tried to contact anyone yet, but I am dying to find some women that might train at my gym....don't think so though, since I have never seen any other female deadlift. :grumble:0 -
That is awesome! Did you do a dance when you found out? I certainly would have.
I've only seen like 2 other people dead lift in my gym period. The upside is I usually don't have to wait for the squat rack :happy:0 -
I felt like doing a dance when he said other women train there! The rest of the time I was just seriously focused on everything I was seeing. I'll admit, though, that my walk back to my car was parTICularly bouncy!!0
