DO I HAS POTENTIAL!?!?! (actually a srs thread)

[fitlover]

Hey everyone. I just need to get some feedback on this, as I'm still deciding what I want to do in my next off-season.

I'm a teen girl. Here are my stats as of right now:

Height: 5'2"
Weight: 124 lbs.

(Note: all my lifts are done for reps, not 1RMs. I'm pretty sure these #'s would be higher if they were 1RM's.)

Deadlift = 225 lbs.

Squat = 195 lbs.

Bench = 100 lbs. (yeah this is pretty weak, I really want to strengthen this, but my chest is my weak point)

I'm doing a figure competition this upcoming June, and I'm pretty torn between doing PLing, and Figure. I love both, but I'm not really sure that I can excel in both. What are your guys' opinions?

Any honest feedback would be wonderful! Thanks so much in advance.

P.S. Yeah, I added a "serious" tag....you know....for emphasis

lol first

^^^She does figure. You can do both. You'll just have to sacrifice some strength when doing a show and all that.

[Big Sexy J]

Yeah you can do both... are you planning to actually compete in powerlifting?

Hey, thanks for that.

I guess I'd just have to decide when to do what if I ever wanted to start competing in PLing at any point. I've never trained for it, so my lifts aren't really impressive or anything. But just over the last 6 months or so I've been really interested in PLing/OLing and have been really thinking about training for it.

[fitlover]

Well, that was my objective, yes. Eventually, though. I'm sure as hell not ready now.

[bttlefedponyboy]

def do powerlifting theres never enough cute chicks at meets

Everyone's response to this will be: "Just go compete" and I agree. It is a great experience and will only make your training better.

If you go to powerlifting meets to check out the female competitors you will be sadly dissapointed brah.

I know...but I'd still like to go in feeling like I actually accomplished something, rather than made myself look silly.

[VforVlad]

oh and.. you has potential.

225 deadlift at 120 is serious business..at least in my eyes.

gotta up that bench.

[fitlover]

gotta up that bench.

I know It's pretty embarrassing! Gotta start somewhere, right.

pretty sure you have never competed or gone to a powerlifting meet

many of the girls in the smaller weight classes (105-132) are hot.

I would know, my fiancee is one.

i only stick around for the hefty ones (no chubby chaser)
lol and.. comment wasnt serious...

As has already been said and will be said ad infinum, if you wanna see how you'll do, go compete. Chances are good you'd be competing against yourself, but those are respectable numbers (if they're real - a calculated max does not a 1RM make).

Olympic lifting is awesome, but you would really need a coach for that.

Go for PL'ing no disrespect but figure never seemed like much of well, anything and your numbers aren't bad, nice dead.

Go for it by training partners little sister is 15 and has very similar numbers/stats to you and she usually comes in pretty close to the top. The last competition she did was by age, not weight so she got stomped by some Behemoth that should have been put with the boys.

Thanks - those aren't my 1RM's though, like I said.

No worries And thanks. I guess the more I think about it the more I would like to do it.

I'd love to find a PLing training partner somewhere in my area. Guess I just have to start looking around a bit.

Thanks for your input, everyone. I think I'm just going to go with PLing starting after my figure comp.
