Sport of Powerlifting - Turn Me Into a Fan

[Viduus]

If you have any interest in PLing, listen to Pillar and just start training to compete. Competing really is a lot of fun and when you start training to be strong, you attract strong people without even trying. Once you have a better understanding of the grind of power lifting, you begin to REALLY enjoy watching. (at least I did)
Many moons ago, I caught the bug and enlisted PoB's help to train for a RPS meet. I had no experience and learned along the way. Started as a small and weak lifter, I ended up winning my weight class first time out (still small and weak). I'm nowhere near an elite total, but Jesus was it exciting to be competing.

Thank you, I’m going to make focus on it next year and see how far I get. Glad to know it was all worth it for you regardless of how you totaled the first time.

Yeah ive been told to just quit itchen my vag, and finally get serious about doing something like this,

I think if i finally had some sort of end game/goal it might help me

But im also not in a position as far as strength, gpp, endurance where i would actually succeed tbh

And thats why ive avoided this route

Strength, gpp, endurance?
How do you think you get there, training! Get with PoB and get started on a program. Trust me, if will always be hard but you will be ready if you stick to the plan.

If u guys do take the plunge to powerlifting pleaseeeeeeeee dont turn into one of the douchebag powerlifters. Pleaseeee. There are so many of them these days as its getting more popular every year.

Doing a meet is one of the best feelings I've ever had in my life. The adrenaline, the focus, the feeling u get hitting a pr u trained months for is fukking amazing. Hearing a room for a strangers scream for u as u grind a rep... ahhh nothing like it. Can't wait for my next one.
