Ok I know, I hate these threads and you do too. But I DAFS and went to powerliftingwatch and googled and found out that, while there are no internet accessible gyms/clubs here in Miami, all of you pasty midwestern folk come here for big meets a few times a year.
Im a white boy from chicago, no offense meant haha.
Ive reignighted my passion to train over the past year in grad school and would really like to find some like minded folks here. If you guys know something Im missing let me know. Im thinking of going to the next meet here and just lifting, but i think thats in like June so…
Its weird that a city of this magnitude and demographic profile wouldnt have anything. Maybe its all these crazy latinos running around…
I went there for USAPL Women’s Nationals and the NAPF/IPF Pan Ams last year. I liked the cityand Miami in February is MUCH better than Denver in February!

Nope, other than my cabbie and the dude at the grocery store.
Shit. Next time I see somebody at the university gym with a big pull Im just going to have to ask them on a man date to a PL meet, nohomo. Hopefully this happens before June!
Which university do you train at?
I train at FIU. There are a couple oly kids that train there and one powerlifter I know of also. It is good to know there are some people here that are interested in serious weight training.
We have 10x the amount of guys who bench over 315 than squat or DL that much at UM, and Im pretty sure Ive only seen 3, maybe 4 other guys lift that much in the past 9 months (excluding 3" ego squats, which Ive seen go up to 5 plates a side, twice).
Not to say Im a beast - my high school training partners would mostly still outlift my 28 year old self - but just saying its a typical university gym. Eye candy is tremendous, however.
Sometimes I will go in and see chalk left on the bars, so Im still waiting to see who is doing that.
