5 year mark of my lifting career coming up

He took me from 200/255/380 to 265/430/515 doing that.

And?

>I'm not allowed to tell you

Lol come on now, it can't be anything we haven't seen already. Unless they have some obscure way of training no ones ever thought of before

I was stalled on those other lifts for awhile until he trained me and told me what to do?? That's it.

Just saying strictly powerlifting isn't my thing, I've given it a fair go and decided it was more boring than my split.

Those are not very good numbers my friend, though you are ready to do a novice program most likely, give sheiko u80 a go.

You are also listing in wrong order, we list it as s/b/d

99% of powerlifting routines look nothing like that one. Not even most of the hardcore specificity-or-bust ones.

It is of course going to be boring if you just fuck around in the gym, you need to train with a purpose i.e. to compete.

What country do you live in? I know the structure is different from country to country, but at least here in Norway it is also very social and sort of akin to joining a sports team.
I signed a contract, sorry.

There is a good bit of information available on the principles we use though. I can tell you that it's very similar to sheiko and how weightlifters train.

In how much time?

Ok ill bite.

YOUR PICKING HEAVY SHIT UP AND PUTING IT DOWN. ITS NOT ROCMET SCIENCE.

fuck user, just fuck.fúuúuúuúk

Australia

Ok, go to /plg/, Isley should be awake.

He used to be in a Australian club a few years ago, he could probably tell you what it's like.
At the surface, it's a variation of every comp lift with fairly low weight/high rep, 5-6x per week and quite a lot of accessory work.

I don't really understand the thought process behind everything, but it works, is fun to do and actually offers fairly decent aesthetic development, minimizes pains and aches, in addition to strength.

I would trust Isley's opinion on powerlifting in Australia about as far as I could throw his one-oh-fat arse.

Considering he has competed (and won a medal) for Australia at world's and has trained directly under Robert Wilks, who is the head of Powerlifting Australia I'm sure he can offer some valuable insight on what the actual club structure is like.

Only for PA.

And only for those guys directly under Wilks, who are not under the same rules or situations as everyone else.

It should be the same for every club governed by PA. I don't train directly under Dietmar, but my coach(es) was taught by him and use the same principles, the actual team structure is also intact all over the country.

Also of course I recommend you go IPF, it is the only serious powerlifting federation.

It's not.

PA standards vary a huge amount. And PA is notoriously bullshit when it comes to things that the HQ gets to rule on (including stuff that they really shouldn't - frex, we're one of the few countries that sends people to Worlds based on who the boss likes, not who actually totals the highest. Even Isley's record is an example of that - he only qualified for it because Wilks waived the usual rules about membership requirements for him).

I'm sorry your federation is like that, I obviously wouldn't really know.

I'd still recommend looking to get involved in a club though, see if you can find a nice one and find a purpose to your training.

Oh absolutely, finding a good group to work with is one of the best things most lifters can do. The club culture isn't as strong in most places as it is in some of the euro countries (particularly compared to the places where you have to be a club member to compete) but a good crew is a good crew whatever fed they're with.

I don't want to take too much of a dump on PA. Running a national fed in Australia is a fucking job and a half between the size of the place and the small population and PA is notably less ridiculous than some of our other feds (the GPA affiliate in particular can be utterly terrible for a bunch of reasons) but its a bit of a one-horse joint compared to most IPF affiliates.
