Someone asked about recent results for 165... A guy that I've gotten some tips from won the 165lbs class at the GA State Competition last year. He benched 265, squatted 415 (might have been 430), and pulled 505.

And thanks a bunch for the Q & A info Q's Sis!

I will be competing equipped - single-ply shirt and squat suit, belt, knee and wrist wraps.

[NOTE: I posted this in the Weight Lifting forum first and got one response, so I'm trying it in this forum] I have my first PL competition coming up the first weekend in December and I'm trying to get myself ready to peak. I've been doing the 5x5 since April with GREAT results, but I'm going...

You can check www.USPF.com and it has a listing of all World Records for that particular federation. I don't remember it having raw maxes; but the USPF only allows single-ply cotumes.

Good lord you're tall! You'll be able to pack some serious muscle on a frame that big! You're in the right place for advice and such - these guys here are very knowledgable and ready to offer help.

Thanks a ton for the advice guys - It is very much appreciated! I'll post which direction I decide to take the workout - I'm gonna ponder it a little more and do a bit more research. :Pidge:

Well, I finally hit a plateau. The BS 5x5 has worked wonders, but now my bench gains have stopped. I am stuck at 255. I managed to get 255x4 today with a little assistance on the bottom end. When I started this run, I reset back a few weeks (started at 245 I think; I'll have to check my...

Got really bored on Sunday afternoon and so I came in and did 20 minutes on the eliptical. I'm pumped about my lifts this afternoon, as I'll be going for 5 rep PRs on my squats and rows. I have no doubts about getting them. I talked to an aerobics instructor who works for me and she showed...
