Forum FAQs and Links **Read Before Starting a Thread**

[B]Number one: YES YOUR LIFTS ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO COMPETE. IF YOU CAN LIFT THE BAR AND COLLARS (25KG/55LBS), WRITE YOUR NAME ON AN ENTRY FORM, AND PAY THE ENTRY FEE YOU CAN COMPETE. NO ONE IS GOING TO LAUGH AT YOU, YOU WON'T BE EMBARASSED, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE "COMPETITIVE" DEPENDING ON WHO SHOWS UP. THERE IS NO WAY TO ANSWER THE QUESTION YOU'RE ABOUT TO ASK ABOUT HOW GOOD YOU'LL BE AT ANY PARTICULAR MEET.[/B]

Number two: Go see a doctor. Don't try to diagnose or receive treatment advice for injuries. No one here can diagnose you over the internet.

Given that the basics of powerlifting tend to revolve around a solid routine, these are listed first. This list also includes discussion threads on the subject, as well as calculators to help you with the programs.

Please also check out this excellent thread on beginner and intermediate programming, it helps to explain why and how you should choose a program.

This list is a compilation of links by various members of this forum over years. One of the linked threads starts in 2002. There is an incredible amount of information here, and we have only just scratched the surface of what we can do when we work together. There are too many people who have helped for me to thank them individually, so you are getting the Acme Generic Thank You, available while supplies last.

:D

Any suggestions can be PM'd to me directly.

Thanks again,

Eric
