Hello all, I am glad to finally be a part of this forum. I am a competitive powerlifter of one year and love the sport very much, but usually I just do bench competitions. Here are my stats:

Age: 16
Height: 5 ft, 5.5 inches
Weight: 146 lbs
Bench Press: 300 lbs even, no bench shirt, over double bw!!!!

Goal: to set the WBC WR in the 165 class (16-17) age division before I turn 18 in 2005... I've got about 55 lbs to go!

I am very happy to be a part of this forum with such great lifters like PLJay, Musclehead and the new guy strongerthenall who has a 2455 total! ... some of the totals and lifts on this site are amazing... once again glad to be here.

also would like to say that some other great lifters on this site were not mentioned, like LG and deciever and all them... I have been following this forum for a while now so I know everyone's lifts and experience and such
