Well I'm a wannabe powerlifter not a bodybuilder but I'll answer anyway. Originally I started just to gain strength because I worked on construction sites from a young age. Later on I started taking it more seriously because I trained in BJJ. The extra strength enabled me to take on guys far bigger than me in training.
As far as mistakes go....training like a bodybuilder was a big mistake. Thats ok if you want to get big.....but I train for functional strength not looks. Despite what some bodybuilders will tell you, the bigger man/woman isnt always the strongest. Another mistake was wasting to much time and money on musclemags and supplements when I was to young to know better.
Goals......hmmmm. To be the best powerlifter in my weight class (currently 220)....I have a long way to go
To nail a triple bodyweight bench press....and to deadlift over 720 (my traiing partners best lift when he won the nationals a few years ago). Uhmm what else? To continue to prove everybody who doubts my ability (at anything) wrong....
