well just figured out by lookin at these numbers that im a ways off to say the least, but im thinkin if i'm lookin better by dec i may try to do a meet. my bench is 260lbs, squat 260 , dead 320lb so i still have a long way to go but hopefully ill get there.

We all started there. Bigger numbers will come.

i picked up a powerliftingusa mag yesterday and looked at some meet results and my maxes arent as far off as i thought. o and the squat was 360 not 260(weak but not that bad). thanks for the help guys

today i was doin wide gr bench and i asked a guy in my gym that i knew powerlifted what was legal on grip and how squat went and everything and he said that they are havin a meet in my gym on oct 4. i may go ahead and try it out just for the experience. i already have a squat suit on the way so all i need is a shirt and the fee. but ill have to read up on the rules. its a nasa fed meet. and i'd be in the 187.? weight class bc they dont have a 181.

as of now the numbers are:
bench- 275
squat- 365
