But, alas, there are precious few places to do Olympic Weightlifting in the Portland Area. One place is Loprinzi's where we train. Another is at Portland Oregon Weightlifting in Tigard. The guys there are great. Here's the link: http://www.francosportstraining.com/2801.html There are crossfit places, but they are likely to make you do crossfit! I have a guy who trains at an LA fitness during the week over in Beaverton, then comes out to SE on Saturdays. That might work. They seem to be tolerant of his lifting there. Other than that, I'm not sure. good luck. And you're always welcome out here in South East. Well, it’s taken me a while to get back to you. sorry.

I really enjoyed working with Jean, John, and Tom and their equipment and platforms were first class. I live in Beaverton so getting all the way over to your gym regularly would be impractical. Do you know of any facilities on the west side, or even Beaverton, that would allow me to get back into the sport? Or, do you have any lines on some used weights where I could garage-it myself?

I'm in pretty tight with everyone in Washington but I don't really have any connections in Portland other than Bill Brian. I'm a Portland native and I consider Portland my home but every time I want to lift with someone I got to drive to Corvalis or Seattle so it would really be nice to plug into a community in Portland. I will try to come by this Saturday to meet with you in person.
