The main reason is my squats and deadlifts are really poor so thought to be more competitive with the others need to build them up, ive only competed at single lift bench, but thought id give full power a go | ||

Why don't you try GBPF. Most regions have divisionals in November/December time. Gives you 6 months to prepare. | ||
