sweet what are your lift lookin like right now man? Thats a tough weight class, I think that that range is the best though, huge weight being lifted by big jacked motherfuckers. No offence to heavier guys but its just not as interesting for me to watch someone who weighs 300 lift.

Why not just squeeze one in July? Last year I just did one 2 or 3 weeks before nats. Worked out great

310 bench, 435 x 5 squat, 500 x 4 deadlift. I havent done deadlift in a good month and have been doing variations of the lift lighter instead. My goal is to bench 325 paused, squat 525, and deadlift 555+ come meet time in august. Going for the USAPL record in 165 open which is 501. So i gotta get to work in these next months

Thanks, lifting in general? hmmm… I turned 20 in april, I would say I’ve been lifting in general for about 7 years. Started squatting 3-4 years ago. Started deadlifting 2 years ago. Its tough with track to get quality lifting in during college, so thats why I really have to get some gains during the summer
I will pull 800 raw. Calling it!!!

Damn thats a shit ton of weight. I’ll def make sure to watch that! And I love that you are being straight up with it, I see too many people sayin when it comes to competitions “oh i’ll try my best, maybe I can lift ok in front of people…”. I love it when people just say “here’s whats happening, I’m doin it so be ready”

This is so true.
I’m not going to Middle of nowhere, Texas just because I want to get my feet wet or do it for the experience. Lifters who make the comittment to travel across the country for a meet are going because they feel they can win it.
Otherwise, I’d ask yourself why are competing on one the highest stages.

I have only done 2 powerlifting meets in my life, and I can tell you that there is almost no way the meet would turn out how you are fearing it will be. Even when i went to a tiny meet where i was the only one in my class, it was great. There are extremely supportive lifters and the atmosphere is just phenomenal. and this is coming from someone who does college track and isnt just a powerlifter.
I can tell you the culture of powerlifting is just different than what you imagine and how i even imagined. And to be honest, pwoerlifting isnt a hugely populated sport, the great lifters are amazing, but the depth in powerlifting compared to a sport like track is lacking. So thats why you shouldnt waste a year of being capapble to see where you stand among the best so you know what you need to work on and get the experience. I could guaurantee you that you will be a much better lifter after the meet than you were before it
