powerlifting is an awesome sport. it demonstrates raw strength and technique. to be successfull you must train hard , train smart, and be dedicated. If you can succeed in this sport you can succeed in any task that you may face in life. Powerlifting is an excellent way to get yourself in better shape not only physically but also mentally an emotionally. Theres nothing more satisfying after a hard day then to go home and take your frustration out on the weights through a intense training session. I'm 14 years old and have been seriously pl'ing for a about a year now. my best lifts being a 240 lb bench press , 340 lb squat , and 445 lb deadlift all at 175 lbs bodyweight. The purpose of this discussion is talk about powerlifting , your experiences with it and thoughts on it. So lets get started!

Yep great fun, even for a skinny neophyte like me. I ran for a long time but have always loved weights. I'm still building up my strength but have finally hit a 135kg double overhand deadlift. Really want to develop my grip so I never have to rely on a mixed but that's probably dreaming.
