whats going on my friends. i have a question/favor to ask of any and all of you who can give me a hand. last year, i had attended the arnold and had witnessed some of the most amazing lifting i have ever been exposed too. it was at that time that i wanted to convert from regular lifting to powerlifting. my problem remains that i am having a hard time figuring out where to begin. let me give you an example of my current workout routine:
Monday - Shoulders & Bis
Smith Machine Military Press 5x10,8,6,4,2
Dumbell Side Lateral 3x10-6
Small Straight bar Front Raise 3x10-6
Cable Rear Delts (overhead) 3x12-10

thats pretty much how i train now. i need help in converting over to more of a powerlifting style of training. i want to compete someday. i have the size and structure to be one of the greats someday, but i have to start lifting like a powerlifter if i truly want to be one. is there anybody who can help me rework my way of training? any help is far more than appreciated.
