hey can you help me?

I'm actually fairly heavy. I'll PM specifics if you're interested. That 770 is working weight, though. I've never tested my max on anything, although I want to see just how much I can squat in the near future.

As for what got me into powerlifting, it was partly realised that I needed to do something physical before I got too out of shape. I stopped rowing ages ago now. I hate all forms of cardio, which ruled out most of the usual activities, and I wanted something solitary that I could do on my own schedule, so organised sports were out. Beyond that, I want to get really fucking strong, at least in part so I can throw girls around the bedroom without breaking a sweat. No joke.

Anyway, if you're looking for a way to stay on track, are you on Fitocracy? It's helped keep me accountable.

Sort of IF-ish? On lifting days, I eat a lot (mostly clean), and supplement with lots of protein aiming for 1g/lb. On non-lifting days I live off black coffee for most of the day, then eat normally from 7pm or so until bedtime. It probably isn't the most efficient diet, especially as I'm not really counting calories, but I've been gaining strength and cutting fat at the same time so it can't be all bad. Aiming for 1000lb total by next summer, currently at 770 or so.

Fuck yeah competition! Get back in there and nail it. I'm doing Starting Strength at the moment, although I've subbed out power cleans because I can't do them without hitting myself in the throat. Pull-ups and dumbbell rows instead.

Still milking my noob gains. Squatted 130kg today! I have the upper body strength of a 12 year old girl, though.

You'll laugh at this, bro, but I took up powerlifting.
