Been lifting for 15 years but it’s my first time in the forums

Hi everyone,

I have been lifting for 15year but a solid 10 seriously. Long story short recently I went back to bodybuilding due to injuries that no longer allowed me to powerlift. In my time of powerlifting I deadlifted 585lb, squat 500lbs, and benched 300lbs. (All in competition)
Those numbers aren’t anything impressive but I was really proud of them. When I started 15 years ago I couldn’t bench 135lb.
Recently I got back into bodybuilding.
Been on the diet, and the cardio, and the “bro splits” hitting each body part twice a week if I can. I do miss sqautting a lot but any insight for someone who has lifted heavy for a while and now making the switch is appreciated.

Much appreciated. The rules are straight forward and the community has a lot of threads I will begin to explore. Any recommendations to start with would be appreciated. Looking for my masterclass in training now.

Welcome I also made the switch in my early 30’s from power lifting I was in the same place as you with injuries and just getting older, I realize there are things I just can’t or shouldn’t do anymore and even though I was much stronger once apon a time, I am actually bigger now and really enjoy working out verses seeing how many plates I can do
