    Hello so I'm 16 years old and I've been doing strength training for the past 6 months seriously and now i'd like to start thinking about competing. I'm a bit lost when it comes to what Powerlifting organisations are running competitions in Ireland and what I'll need as regard to what clothes i need to wear for the competitions.

    Any help would be great, thanks :)

    As luck would have it, Hanley made this video the other day on what to expect at your first powerlifting meet.

    Where are you based?

    The IDFPA have a single lifts competition in CIT Cork this weekend. If you are nearby, you could go down and have a look. If not, they will be streaming a live feed.

    It's the first time they are trying it.

    Mens & ladies squat tomorrow morning, ladies bench in the afternoon.
    Mens bench Sunday morning, followed by both deadlifts.
