On the 12 February 2008, little Jack Mark Roskell came into this world . After what one could call a "bit of a rough start", Jack is fast bulking up in readiness for his first powerlifting competition in just under 14 years' time.

You will notice that all prices have been taken off the site. This is a TEMPORARY move. While I am taking a well earned break for a couple months [see entry on Friday, 16 / 11 / '07], I am also taking the opportunity to develop a revolutionary Glute Ham Raise and update all prices. Some may go up, while some may go down. Still feel free to drop me an email if you have any enquiries regarding equipment.

Stay strong,

Mark Roskell

Due to the fact i have recieved plenty of orders over the last few weeks, I will not be taking any more orders until March / April 2008. With  a baby on the way in February, I want to take some time to get aquainted to having 2 little ones in the house, instead of just 1.

There will still be updates on here periodically, so do not think for a second that Toronto Barbell has shut up shop. Orders may still be taken, but please be aware that production will not start until the above mentioned time frame.

Special note for Captain Lumpy - you just squeezed in!!!

Regards,

Mark Roskell

Some great news!!! Next February, my wife and I are expecting a baby in our household. People keep asking me do I want a boy or girl. I reply it doesn't matter [as when one turns 14, they can enter powerlifting competitions whether they are male or female - lol].

Also, Next year's Australian Powerlifting Championships [IPF] will be held at the Crowne Plaza, Newcastle, with Waratah Engineering as the major sponsor [www.wareng.com.au]. Also listed as a minor spomsor is Toronto Barbell.

Regards, Mark Roskell

As of today, Toronto Barbell has been added to the links section under the heading "Powerlifting Equipment" on the official Powerlifting Australia website. I urge you to check out their site, as there are tons of results, pictures, some videos, and other useful links as well.
