--- Members Interview ---> Fat Pete 04 February 2009 21:07 (permalink)

This week's interviewee is the one and only Fat Pete

Pete is one of the most popular members and has been member of the year twice, I believe?

Please use this topic to ask him any questions about his ifestyle, training, diet and progress - or anything else - though please, nothing too personal or invasive. Please bear with him and give him time to reply.

Fat Pete, thanks for agreeing to take part in this interview. A few questions from me first:

1) Can you give us a brief rundown of how you got into working out and how long you've been training?

2) What are your current training goals?

3) What are you main lift maxes?

4) What's your job that you do for a living?

5) Are you really
(a) Fat,
(b) Pete or
(c) both?

Thanks

James Collier

1) Can you give us a brief rundown of how you got into working out and how long you've been training?

A very large and muscular chap who when I was a child worked for my grandfather did the initial seed sewing. I wanted to be like him. I was always small at school, and gyms then were not as plentiful as now. I only started at the age of 23, but that is close to 30 years ago

James

2) What are your current training goals?

I want the British masters2 125 kilo plus total record. It stands at 810 kgs held by Andy Kerr. I can do three lifts that total that and more, it's just doing them on the same day that is proving to be difficult.

A 200 kg official bench would be nice, and a small but further improvement to my own British squat record isn't a million miles away, if it all goes right on the day

James

3) What are you main lift maxes?

Squat 322.5 kgs, bench 205 kgs and deadlift 300 kgs, the last two are gym lifts the first official

James

4) What's your job that you do for a living?

I am a technical writer doing illustrations and text for Perkin's diesel engines.

James

5) Are you really
(a) Fat,
(b) Pete or
(c) both?

C) both. I am not as fat as people think, I have a prodigious stomach and a considerable waist (46") most big squatters do. It is all fairly solid, but I do carry too much of the wobbly stuff, there is no doubt about that.

1) When's you next comp? Is it GBPF Masters?

2) Do you have a favorite out of the 3 powerlifts?

3) Gravy or curry sauce?

1. It is indeed the masters. Last weekend in March. Not sure which day I lift on yet, but that is the comp.

2. Oh yes. The squat, I love it and very rarely struggle with it. Better than the other two put together

3. Gravy. Gravy is good. Curry sauce I dislike

MonkFinger

what's your favourite:
lift to train?

Squat, by far.

MonkFinger

what's your favourite:
chip shop menu item?

They are all so good, except curry sauce, but if I have to pick one - steak pudding

MonkFinger

what's your favourite:
spice girl?

Ginger. I reckon (based on nothing whatsoever) that she would be the sluttiest. Which in my world is a compliment. A big compliment

Steak and kidney pies have already got gravy in so they need something else over the top lol! Stonehenge Where the banshees live and they do live well

Are you really that fat?

Not really, see above

What is your favourite food?

Steak and kidney pie

Who is your idol/inspiration?

Don't have an idol as such. I have had the good fortune to see Mark Felix and Andy Bolton deadlift at close quarters and it was jaw-droppingly awesome. Inspiration is the Adlington list of current and past lifters, men who lifted huge amounts while working damned hard and traveling huge distances to do so. People like Alan and Gerry Fairclough, Billy Dulson, and Phil Parker amongst others who lifted huge amounts in the days before equipment, had families, held down jobs, didn't take drugs and used public transport to do it all. These men were cut from a different wood than the rest of us and sadly I don't think we will ever see their like again

Would you rather kill a man with your bear hands, or a bear with your man hands?

The first one, if I had to
