Went to train at Bert Copeman''s gym

Post  David Horne on Sun May 17, 2009 7:00 pm

Elizabeth and I have had a weekend away, and boy it was great.

The first part was up to train at Bert Copeman's gym in Nelson. He's an old bodybuilder who knew many of the greats including Arnie.

Anyway, it was a wondeful old-school gym and we took lots of photos, had a great session and of course heard lots of his stories. It's always fun training on different stuff. We exchanged some items, and these will be great in my collection. He's a super bloke, and we had a lovely meal at his house in the evening - how kind!

All the guys in the gym really enjoyed the Orbigrip and Vulcan.

Will try and get some photos up tomorrow. But if you go away for two days; when you come back there is a huge amount to catch up on!

It was; I really like training at other gyms. It adds something different to the routines. Elizabeth and I had a great time there.

I also was given a couple of those globe dumbells and a very large old Hex dumbell. I also did a trade for a near set of old James Grose discs and some others - lovely stuff!
