Cutting weight

My name is Drew and I'm a competitive power lifter. Recently I've decided to drop down a weight class, and I'll be losing about 30 pounds over the next 3 1/2 months...while trying my hardest to maintain strength and muscle mass. Add me as a friend, I'll answer any questions I can about weight loss, muscle building, or general health and sport science.

    I can squat 4 plates. Can I call myself a powerlifter?

    Mandac433 I believe u can get just as much carryover fat loss wise from heavy high intensity training, and good diet...as you would from cardio work. If your feeling soft around the midsection, u probably need to tighten ur diet up.

    Well, imo unless you enter and compete in a sanctioned meet or competition...then no, u can't. U can say that you train powerlifting style training, but that's as far as it goes. But hey, that's just my opinion, feel free to call urself whatever u like, that's an individual's perogatative
