technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335 850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Hi fellas, Im very new to powerlifting (have trained as a BB for 10 yrs) and was after a bit of advice I am hoping to compete in the NW DIv of BDFPA on 27/01/2008. Over the weekend I found my 1 RM, some OK (bench 170), some pathetic LOL (SQ 160). Will obtain DL 1RM tonight (think its is about 190-200KG), By the way, I am 92KG I am planning on doing Tokars routine up to the comp. How long do you fellas normally rest between sets (am I used to the typical BB 60secs)? Do you do much assistance work along with the main lifts? Also, any advice on how to keep the feet planted to the ground without movcing when benching? Thanks for your input fellas

Dancing queenfeel the beat from the tambourine Member 84, 2415 posts SQ 225, BP 170, DL 275 670.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	you'd do very well with that bench, you could enter just the bench and do very well, i can only think of two lads that would beat you in the hundreds. Rough guide on rests three reps five minutes, five reps three minutes, singles i rest as long as i think i am rested usually between five and ten minutes. you looked up any powerlifters yet?

Just do as little or as much as you like, there will be a few experienced lifters there as well as novices. Jim Blanchflower is overseeing the coaching (world standard lifter and british/european record holder as well as been university nutrition lecturer) . It would be a good chance for you to have your form analysed and could save you months of experimentation.

Scotbasher - forever Member 59, 2115 posts	The cost of the session is £5. Just bring your normal training clothes ,belt, wraps etc you can wear squat suit, bench shirt as well if you like. There's no rules you can do singles or reps. we tend to squat, deadlift then bench to save having to warmup your legs/back again.
