    Just wondering how i match up to power lifters at my stats.. I'm 19Y/O, 5'9in height, stand at 72-73KG. Someone at my gym told me i would be good at power lifting. My gym experience has been at home up until 4 months ago.Here is a video of me lifting 180kg on squat. I realise i need to go deeper in this video(i will next time). I would like to compete if I'm good enough information would be greatly appreciated, thanks Dec.

    Strength forum might be a better place.
    You can find link to events, results etc and see where your lifts fit into them.
    But thats secondary, you should powerlift for you, if you want to, not because you are better than 80% of the field (and similarly if you are worse than 80% don't let it stop you)

    You have no stats.... you've a video of some high squats and no mention of anything else?!

    Who cares what you lift. There's guys stronger than you, there's guys weaker than you. Compete for yourself, not for someone else or to build your ego. :)
