Hello!
I'm Shaun and I'm 44, a novice powerlifter and live on the Central Coast. I've lifted on and off since high school but it has just been the past few years that I have been really in strength training. Currently running 5/3/1 which has worked really well for me.
Goals are to compete in a comp (and I'm signed up for one on March 16) and eventually squat/deadlift over 200kg and bench over 140kg.
Not sure what my 1RMs are at the moment with squat and deadlift. I haven't tested them for a while but they would be around 170kg. Best bench is 115kg x 2.
I'm here to learn more about powerlifting and just have fun on the forums.
Hey Shaun, welcome to the board! Those are pretty similar numbers to me. I'm also aiming to compete as a novice, but in 2014. I want to get my deadlift to 220kg, my squat to 200kg and my bench to 150kg. I'm returning from a layoff though so my current numbers are shameful.

- Training experience (if you have any that is) :After deciding to join the defence force I have been looking at the weights side of training and am finding I'm really enjoying it. I have some basics but am keen to learn more and focus on getting stronger. I am currently going to Surge in Wanneroo and soon Clarkson. Would love to find someone experienced to train with.
