To Those Who Aren't Strong Enough
This is nonsense. I understand what a powerlifting meet might look like to you. There are endless Youtube videos featuring guys deadlifting 700+ pounds, benching a small house, etc. Right now you think everyone at every meet lifts like that. Nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is this: at most average, non-pro meets you'll be lucky if you see a handful of folks with a:
That's raw, of course. You are stronger than you think. If you don't believe me go to a local powerlifting meet yourself, or check out the results online. If you have no interest in competing, that's fine. I'm not trying to pressure you here. What I am trying to do is motivate those of you that DO want to powerlift to stop making excuses and do it. You won't regret it. Money back guarantee comes with that statement. Powerlifting is about heart, and about the effort, not just end strength. Competing is an adrenaline rush you will never forget.

I am leaning that route after attending my first meet as a spectator. I had so much fun watching, I bet it would be a blast to compete!

Where can you go to learn the basics (rules, weight classes, etc )? I think I would like to work my way towards competition at least one time.... Also, where / how do you find local events? Thanks

I want to compete so bad. I always look for meets near me, but I don't see much for local meets here.

I got nailed by a 220 bench in my first comp and flattened by a 350 squat.
Good times! |
