I'd recommend doing a search on the internet to find federations that are available to you in your area (or within a reasonable traveling dist.). NASA, USAPL, and AAU are great drug free orgainizations that I've lifted with.. there are certainly more out there.. check out there web pages, look at their rule books too. most feds offer 'bench only' lifting. Even if you don't have a lot of experience, it's good to get out there to a meet.. great practice and you can do some networking too. good luck.

: Thank you Teale. Your work is really
: impressive. I'm maybe thinking of doing
: some local competitions (if I knew of
: any)..Is it too early for me to
: compete? I actually cannot deadlift or
: squat due to a debilitating ankle
: problem. Do they do bench only
: competitions? If so, how can I find out
: where and when they are held?
:
: Thanks again

: Hi- Congrats on your bench press.. keep
: your training going and you'll see the
: results. Just yesterday I found I
: powerlifting USA mag. with my bench
: results from 1997- I was 25 years old
: and benching 185lb in comp., now I
: bench 270lb.
: My advice.. Make sure you're getting
: enough protein in your diet, train
: smart, and don't be afraid to mix up
: your training with boards, chains,
: kettlebells, etc. Keep a training
: diary so you can compare your weights
: with previous training cycles. Mix up
: your training days with different
: exercises so your body doesn't get used
: to the same weight and movement.
: Good luck!

: Hi. I am a 20 year old female who
: weighs
: 129 pounds. I have reached the
: milestone of bench pressing 135 pounds.
: I feel like I'm going to plateau soon
: but I really would like the weight to
: keep going up. I am up to two reps with
: 45 lb dumbbells (45 in each hand). I'm
: not concerned about that as much as the
: barbell. How should I go about my
: routine? Should I mix it up a bit?
:
: Thank you, any advice would really be
: appreciated.
