Been bodybuilding for 12 years now and competed 3 times, placed 3rd, 1st and 1st but after an injury and a little time out i decided id had enough of competing.
Sorry if i missed a few details and am just asking questions that already have answers but-
1. how old are you?
2. how much do you weigh?
3. how long have you been training?
4. whats your diet like?
In the youtube vid you posted you look....18-19 ? and your form was pretty bad bro. What made you decided to start power lifting? often the reason for wanting to get bigger and stronger needs to be evaluated but ill come back to that.
Power lifting is about low reps and heavy weights using compound lifts such as bench press, dead lifts, squats, leg press and military press and most importantly, eating BIG as its in the kitchen that we grow, not in the gym.
If and when you hit the fence you need to go over your diet and training, maybe your over training and not eating enough? sometimes if you simply switch up your routine that can get you going again.
Like bodybuilding the aim is to lift heavier weights as you progress but never sacrifice form for lifting heavier weights than your body can handle, aim for small gaols and just take your time.
As i mentions earlier, the reason one starts training needs to be looked at, so whats your reason mate? me, ive trained all these years because its my passion, its what i love, what about you?
As a personal trainer this is one of the first things i ask my clients as those that want to get bigger and stronger to impress the ladies or to be better in fights or to look good in summer, these people will soon get fed up and give up but im not saying thats you.
If your passionate about it then go for it, learn all you can and reach your goals.
Eat big, train hard-
