Can I enter this competition with a 140kg 1RM (even though I haven't tested it after 4 weeks off of training though think I'll smash it) even though I will be FAR from winning, I wouldn't mind challenging someone around my strength...
It would be good if the mod's could put up a thread of whose lifting what -
For example;
Deadlift category 1 (140kg - 160kg)
Deadlift category 2 (160kg - 180kg)
Deadlift category 3 (180kg - 200kg)
etc etc. . .
And as they improve they move up in category's and challenge other people...
But then again what would I know - Afterall I deadlift 120kg 3x8 loll

I don't get why a powerlifter would want to gain weight. Get into the lowest weight class possible and only move up if your strength gains make you - this isnt bodybuilding.

you get strength gains at the dinner table too mate
To an extent. Obviously if you're 6'4 and lifting in the 67.5kg class there are problems to be had but for most natties in the 82.5 or 90kg class (or whatever IPF is nowadays) at 8-10% I couldn't see a need to go above that.
A lot of the best powerlifters (coan comes to mind) were shit lean. Just an observation but I think theres a few on here who'd know better than me.
Oli, your deflecting.
At your height, you need to weigh 120kg+ to become a good powerlifter.
Max needs to weigh 100kg and Daryl needs to weigh 82.5kg
Thats why lifters gain weight and go up a weight class, to improve their leverages.
I'm pretty sure Nathan Jones is shorter than you and weighs 105kg, very lean.
Your young, you'll get heavier, as will Max and Daryl
Gregg in the 110's as an open lifter will be world class, he already is as a teenager
