Beginner to power lifting...

[eastarr69]

Lets say that I was thjinking about getting into powerlifting..I weigh 205 and I have some decent strength for my weight...although I just started working legs and doing deadlifts....what would be good weights to hit to try and enter a meet at the beginner level.

Here is what I am starting with:

Bench Max: 435
Squat Max: 405
Deadlift Max: 495

Granted, I have just started do legs and deads...but, they will all grow....

I'd say enter a meet as soon as possible

I agree. Enter a meet early.

Your squat and dead should increase substantially pretty fast, since you just started.

get in a meet. establish a base with your first meet to build on for your second. Good Luck

Thanks all....I think i am going to hit one in Feb. That should give me a good base and also let me know where i fall in line with the rest of the power mad men...
