Find a federation or local gym that is holding a backyard meet. Best way, follow all of them on Facebook and look at their respective calendars. Be aware of rules, rules of performance, and any rules governing equipment. Any questions, give me a shout, I’m a state ref and club coach.SnakeCharmer13 wrote: »Hey!

if you want to compete, you totally should. Get a good coach and get your form dialed in and your numbers will shoot up . I love competing and lifting heavy. i don't hit the huge numbers , but i have a great time training and spending meet day with my friends.2

Feel free to add me if you'd like! I haven't done a competition, but I think it would be awesome to do one someday and I think that you should!
These are my current training max numbers (not my one rep)
Deadlift: 231
Bench: 118
Squat: 1910 -
Find a competition and do it! As long as you can move the empty barbell, you can compete.
When I started, my lifts were all pretty low. They're nothing to brag about in present company, but I still feel accomplished and happy with my progress. Feel free to add me!1 -

I did my first meet with a less popular fed (RPS). The only requirement they had was a singlet. They have no membership fees. The lifters there were awesome and very supportive. I didn't want to spent $$ on personal equipment to find out I hated competing. After that first meet, I joined USAPL and now compete 2x/year with them.3

I suggest you enter a competition now. No need to wait to lift more, you will always want to lift more regardless.
Thank you! I think I just might!

This was a sanctioned USAPL meet? And were those your numbers? If so, you're already qualified.2 -
I just started lifting weights again after several years of nothing. I’m at 110lbs for deadlifts!. (That’s good for me) My squats suck though.0

Yes it was a sanctioned local meet. The squat and deadlifts were my numbers. I got a 110.2 lb/50kg bench. I thought I had to do a regional meet to qualify? I would do at least 2 meets/year with USAPL since I have to pay a $55 membership fee

You don't have to do a regional meet. You just have to have a certain total.3 -
I love deadlifts as well, but skipped them today on leg day. I have ripped the crap out of my shins doing them, I really need to buy some deadlift socks to protect them. End of last week I was doing them, and ripped my skin open again.0

Never thought about this. Still low weight for me (170) but should I wear my running tights when deadlifting? Don't see many guys doing this. Probably do more damage to the tights than my legs though.

I never have a problem, but I pull sumo so my shins are turned out a bit.0 -

I don't do Sumo, so I guess that is the difference. I make sure the bar is close to my body the whole way up, so the bar always hits my shins. I'm going to try some longer socks next time, need to let my shins heal a little.0
