>Going to a powerlifting gym when you're not already fit as fuck.
>>36598795
I am fit as fuck, I was stronger than my entire old gym's populace put together and powerlifting isn't about fitness you cbt twinkshit
>>36598785
How tall are you breh? 230 is a good target weight for a guy who's about 6'
>rep 1/2/3/4 for 6-8rm
>>36598825
>1pl8 ohp for 6 reps
>strongest than your entire old gym's populace put together
highly doubt it,i OHP 1pl8 for 8 and im a 73kg skeleton.kill yourself.
>>36598826
230 is a good target for a guy who is at least 6'3.
except if were talking roids.

But we're talking about powerlifting. If this guy's actually looking to compete in the longish term, he needs to understand that weight classes are really height classes, and that the best lifters in the 105 category are about 6', and even 5'10 on the national/international level.
>>36598830
stronger than you fuckface
>>36598826
5'11, they told me 230 (or 105kg as they say) is good for my height, but I'm overfat and overly weak right now
to which I object, bf% isn't measured in this sport
>>36598925
you dont understand OP is a fatty who doesnt have the stats your typical 105kg dude that competes in the national (let alone international) level has.He barely OHPs 1pl8 for 6 for fucks sake.and he already weighs 105kg.He can only OHP half his bodyweight for 6 reps.He has no potential for future bulking if he doesnt cut hard now.He needs to lose about 15kg,then slowbulk back to his original weight while training hard to get real powerlifting stats for that weight.

19% (if it's really 19%) isn't "that" fat but yeah, leaning out quite a bit then a good, long slow bulk on proper programming should do wonders for you.
>>36598956
But 230 -> 6'3" still makes no sense
>>36598941
>230lb
>19% bf
>5'11
>FFMI 26.2
either you're around the natty potential or you're just lying
and since you're posting here I'm guessing you're just delusional, probably shit form and 30+%
>>36598825
You were at Planet Fitness. That's not exactly a high standard.
>>36598785
By powerlifting standards you are fat and weak. With those lifts you wouldn't even be competitive in the lowest weight classes.
Powerlifting is only for fat people if they are really fucking strong. Otherwise, you need to have a low bodyfat percentage so you can compete with people who weigh less.
