To give you a little background on me I started lifting June 3rd of last year. I was 125lbs and since have made great progress. I am a firefighter/emt and love it. I have been looking around but couldn't find much information on meets in my area.
I would be interested in the 165lb Junior class I think. (Its the 20-23 right?). Ill be shooting for that weight this year and probably would stay around that. My big 3 isn't too impressive at the moment, but for me I feel very accomplished. Obviously by then Im hoping I would be closing in on 900 or 1000 total.
I know there are quite a few meets in my area because there has been a few at my gym recently. I would really be interested in competing for fun once I am up around 165. I cant seem to find any results for local meets just the national records.
I guess the questions I am looking for here is. What kind of totals are people in this weight class getting? Are the competitions raw, or will I probably have to invest in a belt, wraps, and suits by the time I want to compete? Could anyone direct me to some places where I can find more information on meets in my area and what kind of competition I should expect? Remember I am not in this to win, I mean it would be great, I just want to compete and have some fun. Who knows maybe I will be much stronger by then and actually able to put up some good numbers.. Any constructive criticism would be helpful. Thanks
