I am new to this or any forum. I have been power lifting off and on for 30 years and would like to say hey to everyone. I haven't competed for years and competed in USPF but where I live its pretty much become the USPA. Looking to compete again this year.

Thanks BigDM!!I hoping to get in that kilo club or at least close. I can't train all out like I use to but I still try anyway. Seems like I always injure something here or there right before the meet.

Injury "prevention" so important the older you get. I know because I'm getting up there

Warming up properly before training and working on mobility has become more of a priority for me these days. Checkout **broken link removed** for some good tips.

Welcome aboard!

Admittedly I'm up there in age as well and proper warming up and daily maintenance of basic mobility proves to be even more important for me these days. I'm a fan of the foam roller. Some myofascial work every day helps me a lot.
