New Boy on the block, Yes that's me Jack (Jacked on Iron) Barnard, I am a mere 15 years old as of the 31st May and have already competed in my first RAW competition receiving a 1st for Bench and 4th for Deadlift.
My stats are 5'11" and 130kgs (yes I no) 48" Waist 52" Chest I train at the famous Genesis Gym in Wembley run by the even more famous Guru of Powerlifting Dave "Bulldog" Beattie.
I am there 3 times a week training and at present Deadlift 180kgs, Squat 185kgs and Bench 100kgs and making progress all the time, I will be competing at BPC & GPC British Championships 2011 on the 3rd of July where I hope to improve my total yet again and then qualify for the World Championships in Latvia, not to bad as I only started in January 2011.
I love what I do and intend to be the next Andy Bolton in years to come, as yet I have not acquired any sponsors but have no doubt this can be achieved soon, I am not far off starting my last year at school and hope to gain a place at college taking art and design as I am in the process of designing my own Gym Clothing range under the logo "Jacked on Iron" so watch this space and sizes WILL cater for Big Guys not just your average xxl as like me I am sure there is lots of you that get fed up of great gear shame about the size ! LOL.
I am on facebook and have just had my new YouTube account site set up by October21 graphic design/Web design company under the same logo but with still a little work to be done, this will cover Gym/training and competition updates, the video and photo's will be covered by videographer "The Ghostmaker".
I have already been in the local papers and don't plan for it to be the last.
My training partner is my Dad he's not light either oops! lol and also not as strong as me but he tries hard and more importantly would never miss a training sessionwith me, at present my parents pay the way but I feel if I am to progress sponsors are the way to go so that I can afford the best equipment etc, I would get Dave Beattie to train me full time and not as and when and last and just as important have a top Nutrition company behind me like CNP with all the technical knowledge and years of experience that they have to offer.
The big question is can someone else see what I see because I am here for the big poundage the big prize in the big competitions and I want to take this sport to the next level of exposure as people need to know how Loud,Exciting,and Explosive this Extreme sport is.
If there is someone out there that has what I need and can help me along the way please email me on
barnard692@btinternet.com or look me up on facebook or even come and join in down at the Genesis Gym.

Kindest Regards
Jack (JackedonIron) Barnard
