Hello New to The Iron Den.

[1fastbean]

Hello everyone, I'm just a new guy to training 8.5 months in. I'm no expert and hoping to learn from experienced lifters. As far as my goals I'm aiming to eventually compete in powerlifting, I just got tired of being drastically over weight and weak and being called big guy cause of my extra weight. I still need to drop 20 lbs. but right now I'm just training to get strong and looking for some insight from those who are already experienced. As far as training I'm doing Jim wendlers 5/3/1. If anyone has a better suggestion I'm glad to hear it. Hope to learn as much as possible.

My pr's as of beginning 5/3/1 3 weeks ago where 205 bench press, 250 squat, 295 deadlift, and 135 standing military press. When I first statred training I did Mehdis 5x5 which I think everyone has heard of, then switched over to a different program. I plan on staying consistently on 5/3/1, I know I probably could have made more progress if I had stayed consistent on one program.

Consistency is where it's all at.

Good luck with your goals, and there's plenty of PL'ers on here that know their stuff first-hand through time and experience. You are in good hands ~ welcome to The Den too btw MF.
