 Greetings to all, I am a former competitor of powelifting, and I'm working on a come back. I have over 29 years in the fitness and health field and enjoy helping other. I also still believe in learning more. The last time I competed was in Sept 1999. I won the USPF Sub Master, Master Nationals in Buffalo N.Y. I was 127lbs in the 132 lbs class as a sub master. In January of 1999 I had shoulder surgery (rotator tear, Bicep injery, and collar bone) They had to put three screws in the shoulder. I had a squat of 340lbs, a bench of 209lbs, and a deadlift of 407lbs. However they gave me creadit for a 385 deadlift. Oh well! However now I want to come back and have some real fun. I am 47 years old. Training slowly and feeling good about how things are going. I am now 161 lbs. I plan on lifting in the 148lbs class as a masters. In the past years before my surgery I was able to squat 365bls, bench 225bls, and deadlift 425bls. I will be 48 in December. My goal is to squat 500. bench 275 to 300, ad deadlift 500 or better. Would anyone be willing to help me with a program to do this? I want to make a IPF Master world team try by the age of 50. I have always had a dream to do this. I believe I can. The word of God says, I can do all things through Christ who strengthns me! I look forward for some help. God Bless.
