New guy needs advice

[Flynman]

Hey everyone!! I am interested in powerlifting and need to find a good book on training & lifting techniques. Any suggestions as to books and authors?

Also my current lifts in the gym with pretty good form are:

(I am 40yrs old and weight 215lbs.)

Bench: 385lbs (No gear)
Squat: 665lbs (Knee wraps, belt)
Deadlift: 550lbs (knee wraps, belt)

Would these lifts be competitive in competition?Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Peace

Flynman, instead of a book go to www.elitefts.com and read ALL the articles.

Those are great numbers, and as long as they keep getting better that's all that matters.

oh yea...your lifts would be pretty damn competitive. but don't take my word for it. find out what PL organizations come to your location...then once you do look for their records. but you have some fuckin strong lifts brotha!! tb
