i actually didn't get the chance to compete in the august competition like i had planned because i hurt my hamstring playing some flag football just a couple days before the contest. needless to say i was pretty upset about that. but i am still training, and i found a couple of guys at my gym who powerlift to train with, so i am going to go to a competition in the beginning of january with them to mainly observe and help them out with their gear (bench shirt, squat suit, etc.), and then we are going to do a contest in april down in iowa together so i will let you know how that goes.
