Question

is this a good weight?


i am interested in competing in tourneys (maybe even join the powerlifting club at the academy). but i am wondering if my lifts are competitive or not.

mainly is deadlifting 3 x your body weight (or real close to it) something that would be competitive/place?

my other lifts are subpar (bench 1.5 x bodyweight, squat 2.1 x bodweight)

hopefully this friday i can do all the strongman events they have at my gym. i was supposed to go last friday but i had all my wisdom teeth taken out that day.

Sounds pretty decent to me. My squat and bench are similar but I can't deadlift 3x my bodyweight.

Give it a shot. Even if you think you're weak i'd still say do it because you will likely learn a lot.
