Hi, This thread is really good. I'm impressed, I'm a powerlifter and boxer, and have been training for the past 5 years at competition level. At the moment i weigh 270lbs and I'm 6'3 (6'5 including my joora haha), for people worried about weightlifting stunting your growth, it isn't true in most cases, I'm 20 and have been lifting since i was 15 and hasn't affected my growth at all. though i have heard there is a link between protein shakes and stunted growth, but i don't know and haven't researched weather this is true or not.
At the moment i am training to compete in the deadlift and clean/<banned word filter activated> lift...my personal best is 220kg deadlift and 170kg clean and <banned word filter activated>.
mskcan's advice is spot on, giving real valuable advice. Thanks for teaching people and promoting good health and the pride of being a powerlifter.
ps mskcan do u train at andy boultons gym? just curious bruv.
Bless
