How Would I Fair in Powerlifting?

Training Powerlifting

Ok so how much weight does single ply gear increase your lifts by?

also, im looking at bench shirts, which one is the best? i was thinking of just buying the inzer standard blast, but i saw some other ones, are all the single ply bench shirts on powerlifting watch.com legal?

also i live in illinois, where can i find a meet to break some records?

also, im 19, i turn 20 on may 6th, so it might be too late to break the 18-19 records correct? but not too late to break the 20-23…

you all have peaked my interest.

Go to powerliftingwatch.com and look under the link “Powerlifting by state”. At the bottom of the page there will be a list of meets in your state of choosing. They will list which fed each meet is sanctioned by. You can then check those feds records on their websites. PLWatch has links to them too.

Illinois is a good state for powerlifting. I believe USAPL puts on a few meets there. The APF was born in Aurora at Ernie Frantz’s gym and there are couple APF meets near Chicago every year. SLP has usually put on several meets in southern IL and southern IN.

What you get out of gear really depends on you. The tighter your gear is and more you specialize your training for it, the more you will get out of it.

As for kiddie records- fuck it- lift men’s open. You’re handling grown folks’ weight anyways.

You have to check the rules in the fed you’re competing in.

over 9000

Titan Centurions seem to be popular. I’m a Metal gear whore so my personal pick is the Viking V-type.

I would also like to say that I think you are full of shit on your numbers, but would love to be proved wrong.

Is that the 800 ply one?

Dont buy your gear too tight. Got to leave room for Jesus.

I have the Ace briefs. The problem is that I can only handle about 15000 right now so I’m having trouble when I put everything on together.

If only I had bought them a little looser and left some room for Jesus… SH, something about that just sounds wrong.

done and done.

I would say that you would fare fairly. Whereabouts in Illinois are you? I know there aren’t any meets in central Illinois for quite a while (unless you count SLP), but Chicago is putting on an APF meet soon. There is also an APA meet in Indianapolis in February.

I just got a mental image of a powerlifter looking like ralphs little brother in “A Christmas Story”.

Ever seen a 6 year old squat 15000 pounds?
