No you don't need it but it might not hurt to use one. I feel that a belt helps a lot on my squats but is more of a hinderance on deadlifts for me.

Ouch! His face looks a little red that tells me he either struggled for a while trying to press it or that bar has been on his neck for a while.

Yeah there is no money in powerlifting. As an example I watched a 2000 npl powerlifting meet on espn today and the heavyweight winner(Ed Coan) received a check for $10,000. I am not sure about...

at pro level for his weight-class of 165 I don't think he would hold up. He is really good for his age but I believe the world record for total is around 1900 pounds for the 165 weight class. ...

That is not a good routine you only have one day off. You really should do a little more research, all the information you need is at your fingertips just look around for it.

Your muscles get very hard mine are like rocks even though I am fairly fat. Somewhere around 20% body fat I think but my bodyfat has nothing to do with powerlifting.

I have become very thick...

I went to search engines to find my state's records. The site you gave looks okay, except half the records are in kg and half are in pounds it is not very organized. The individual records squat...

Congrats on your new maxs, it looks like you met your goals.
Hope you beat your goals for march/april.

deadlifting seems to have thickened up me neck pretty well, along with heavy lifting in general such as shrugs.

375 at 18 could be a reasonable goal, it all depends on if you are willing to do research and train right. Although sometimes you hit a wall and can't get past it. When that happens you will have...

Yeah I have done it and it got me 35 lbs the first time and 10 the second. Only thing is it only works your bench you will not do any other lifts with the intention of gaining on them. Also when...

I am not sure why powerlifters and bodybuilders can't get along but it might have something to do with some bodybuilders being arrogant little bastards. Check out the thread fat test if you want to...

going from 135 to 225 in nine months does not take roids. I went from 115 to 205 in 6 or 7 months and I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. After a year of lifting I had went from 115 to 235...

When I compete in powerlifting I dry myself out in a way. I diet for a week to lose the water weight, I can usually drop 8-12 pounds this way. Also I do have time to rehydrate before the actual...

I agree with deceiver you should take some time off and avoid wide grip benching for awhile.

Did the pain just start or has it been around for a while and slowly got worse?

Might as well work them, it never hurts to keep your muscles balanced in proportion with each other.

ok Powerlifter I understand, personally I am not built for any one lift other than the fact that I am short. long legs, medium sized torso, long arms for my height, and almost no neck.

p0w3rlift3r were you having an off day on the deadlift. Regardless though your squat and bench are very good.

PCP is crazy stuff that no one should ever do. It basically makes one go completely insane.

Yeah I pretended to fall to the floor and then I exploded back up but later I hit the ground and did...

No but I have thought about it previously. Only thing that bothers me is I always think I am stronger when I am drunk and I feel stronger, but I would not want to get trapped under 300+ pounds as it...
