Question: Any "junior" powerlifting in the NY area?

[araiber]

This is officially my "first" thread. Im just wondering if there are any powerlifting competitions around the New York City area?

Im 17, weigh 125, and lift more than i should for my bodyweight. lol. In my weightlifting class the other day i benched 200 again, and did 35 pullups in a row. I deadlifted 290 before, and squated 270... I think i can do good in a comp... Of course, all these are raw lifts.

So i tried looking up in search engines, but im not sure where to start. I wanna at least try to see how i measure up against other strong kids in my weight class, and possibly compete.

All info/advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Ive been lifting most weights in my school gym actually. Been working out at home years before that though, and now i do both. Long island is far away, and it seems like their competition passed in february.

Either way, that seems like a sick gym. 200 lb dumbells, long way to go. lol. Thanks again.

i used to lift in the southern tier powerlifting comps in highschool. I won 1st with a power index of 7.0 That's in ithaca NY though. It was a haul but worth it. I don't know about highschool comps in nyc but northern ny has a few. Check out the southern tier or maybe westside powerlifting (that's in ny too)
