ABOUT THIS SITE |
I've been saving Internet posts on weight training since 1990. These were for my own personal archive. Back then, the misc.fitness and misc.fitness.weights newsgroups on USENET were the main discussion forums. Later came listserves and chat rooms and the Web. When the Web came along, I realized I could share this archive with the world. Since 1995, this site has been an experiment in archiving information found on the Internet and presenting it to a general audience in a usable format. I am still learning as the Internet evolves. Please send me your comments on how this information might be archived and presented in a better way. Please also report broken links, missing files or incorrect information. Work on this experimental site will help me refine my journalistic and Web development work at the University of Washington. Thank you.

For a look at my work and family, try Tom Griffin's Home Page. For a personal look at weights and lifting, try In the Beginning: Griffin's First Powerlifting Meet, my account of lifting in my first powerlifting meet. Also here is an account of lifting in my second powerlifting competition, The USAPL Washington State 2000 Championships.
Much thanks to Tony Cardella of goheavy.com for allowing me to borrow his web page template for the opening page of this site.
