hey thanx guys I don't have much time to really look into any of this with school and all I don't have much time to come on here so I'll be on over the weekend back to this one and my other post to really look over things and put something in the workout to strengthen up my shoulders.

Screwball I changed my mind and thank you of course I will be competing in the st pete meet, but in this one I'll be in the 181 weight class in the teen division I'm going in there for fun. I need some more info before I go into this meet though. What type of gear like shirts, suits can you use??????

Cubanito...

Glad to hear you're competing. You are going to have the best damn time of your life. Don't be discouraged when you see other lifters hit big numbers - because you will. Focus on YOUR lifting and try to beat YOUR PR's. You just started the powerlifting game so give it time and try to pick up as much as you can. You won't believe how much you will learn. You will have a great group of lifters to learn from. Use PLJay, Grimmer, Arioch, The Mann and other members of the Florida crew. The best attitude you can have going in to this thing is laid back and wanting to enjoy the experience. Have fun!

One more tip for you. Be respectful of other lifters and their preparation. You may want to keep a note pad handy to write down questions or comments. You can ask questions when the time is appropriate. Good luck!

Thanks I'm trying to focus on right now what I'm going to open with in what event and what do I want the weight to be for my third. Now I still need some insight on the meet. If anyone knows about the rules and what we can use please let me know or PM me.

If you can go to the website i sent you too earlier. that is the Organization it will be under. You can wear up to 2 layers velcro ok, no canvas, ass stay's down, no uneven extension(it has to be really uneven. You will break no rule there simple. Plus i will help you. The site again is www.apa-wpa.com scroll down and they might have rules or some shit there to look at. Did me showing you the nat ranking help change your mind? I just wanted to show you what other teens are lifting proudly, and your jsut as strong now. So head up and get ready!

Fuck yea it helped me see I was looking at all of your lifts like junior lifters all the guys above 20 and i was like shit 955 total that sucks but compared to those numbers I think i'll do good. I'ma go in and lift in 181 not 165 I don't want to drop so much it's only my first meet so I'ma have fun and try to go for big numbers. when i go for the record i'll go 165 I keep saying that b/c it's a goal of mine which i'm going to accomplish. i'll look over on the site thoroughly
