New to forum, just saying hello

[jamesjenkins]

James, I'm new to the forum. Just saying hello to everyone. Former competitive powerlifter.
Have done usapl, apf, upa, etc. Haven't competed in years, looking to get back into it . Have benched 385 raw at 165, and 181. And pulled high 5's at 165 and 181. 35 years old slowly making the way back. Hoping for competition . 400+ earlier next year at 165. Have lurked on this board before, seems like a lot of knowledgeable people. Look forward to being able to converse with other serious lifters.... good day to all

Welcome and btw great lifts!
I was a member of the APF,IPA,USPF. and even was a national ref for the APF in the late 90s.Lots of good changes with the popularity of Raw lifting !

Parts of the sport i don't like is the unbelievable gear such as the SDP shirt adding up to 450 pounds or more to a patient lifter willing to put the work understanding the shirt
Parts of the sport i do like is the lifters taking the control out of the companys that sponsor the meets hands.
