Thought I'd introduce myself.
Spent the vast majority of my life lifting for aesthetics/BB. Started training for powerlifting exclusively 1.5 years ago. Did my first meet this past march. It was a push/pull (no squats). Finished the day with a 505lb DL and 355lb bench. I went for 400 on my final attempt at the spurring on of my friends and the score keeper at the desk. Missed it. I was planning for 380 but got caught up and listened to others and didn't stick to my plan. Lesson learned.
At the moment my gym totals are:
Bench = 375 lbs
Squat = 500 lbs
DL = 515 lbs
I'm considering doing a meet in December. It would be a full power, on my bday. I'll be 49. My goals for that meet is to break 1500 for a total. Might be considered a big jump but that's my short term goal.
So anyway that's a short version of me and why I'm here. Hope to gain some knowledge from you guys and hit my goals and maybe hopefully be able to help others along the way.
