I'm what I like to call a "power builder". I'm not strong enough for competitive p-lifting and I'm too fat for competitive bodybuilding. So I'm committed to underachieving at both!

I compete in powerlifting and my girlfriend bodybuils competively. Do you compete and at what weight class?

Hey strong, I am going to start competing in the drug free open 181's,(I hope). I am 205 right now and hope to diet to under 198.25 to hit the right class. I have about a 300 raw bench. I am going to buy a double ply poly bench shirt next week and start working with that.

Later Bro'...

PB, I was there and competed in the supers. I'm wondering if I met ya. Were you in the second afternoon flight?

Barbell265, thats a good bench. With a good shirt you can add 50 or more pounds to it. Remember train your lockout. Adding a shirt is like having a second set of pecs and delts.

Yes, I was in the afternoon session and probably met you. As I recall there were 4 guys lifting at SHW. Three of those guys I have known for years. The 4th guy I did get a chance to talk to about squat suits. Were you wearing the Frantz dbl poly w/velcro straps?
