I've been trying to find some kind of a PL competition to try my hand at. Joe suggested a push/pull. My best lift is my DL. My PR was 275 with straps. I started training raw during my competition prep and managed 245 - right before the diet took the wind outta my sails, lol.
I've never pushed myself on the bench because I never have a spot (which will have to change)... but my best was 135 for 6... again, right before the diet kicked my ass.
Kook sent me a link to the APA site and there's one in NH in October I could do. I guess my first question is - is the APA too lofty a goal for a first timer? Should I keep looking for a local, smaller competition first?
Also, I'm thinking if I can get my DL just over 300 and my bench just over 200, it would be a reasonable goal and I would be in a decent range for a female. Do you agree? (I currently weigh 175lbs)
I'm just trying to gather some advice to see if this is feasible. I've seen several great PLs over here so I figured this would be a good place to ask. TIA :)
