Title: New to Powerlifting
Post by: elspecimino on February 26, 2007, 09:19:45 AM
I'm new to powerlifting. I have been competing in Bodybuilding for the past 5 years and have grown bored with it.  I would like to compete in some Powerlifting meets in my area.  I have a question though.  When you compete in a meet, do you have to do all 3 disciplines or can you only do one, say the deadlift, if you wanted to just focus on that.  Thanks.

Most Powerlifting Federations offer FULL POWER -  which is Squat/Bench/Deadlift for a combined TOTAL of your best lift from each.
They also have what they call a PUSH/PULL for a TOTAL.
They have Bench only
**They have Deadlift only.

Check out www.apa-wpa.com to see if they have a MEET scheduled in your area.
