Just another wannabe powerlifter

[Northland Powah]

Hi guys just thought I'd introduce myself :grin:

Im an on and off powerlifter since 2009. Im living up in Northland where I'm a teacher.

I Have been competing in the u74 and 75kg classes where I've won the National Jr class back in 2009 and took out 3rd in the u74kg open last year

Im really after a community where people will kick my arse if I'm slacking off and give me good advices. Ive tried a few different training styles, current being sheiko. I don't have a training partner so motivation can be an issue.

current Maxes are all raw and current

squat 160

bench 125

deadlift 185

goals for this year are moving up to the u83kg class and watching my strength rising. Im thinking of starting a powerlifting journal so people can keep tabs on me \:D/

looking foward to meeting you all

Cheers

Craig

Chur brah good to meet another powerlifter in the lightweights. We are pretty similar total wise but you smoke me on the bench. Are you going to do North Island Champs?

Start that journal mate so we can see your progress

Tomlee Thanks mate yea short arms and all, good for benching... not so got for deadlifts haha. Not planning on Northislands at this stage. planning on eating and focusing on getting stronger for the next year and hopefully nationals are somewhere closer next year!

Im probably going to start a journal just wondering if I should start now or after the Northland champs in a month...

Thanks for al the positive comments

Hey and welcome.

I'm quite new to the sport myself and am loving it.

You'll find heaps of advice and experience here and lots of knowledge about the sheiko style of training.

Go hard and happy lifting, hopefully we'll meet soon
