CRAP
100% raw federation
198 lb class raw elite total 1471
198 lb class raw IV total 810
OK then first goal is to hit 810, then get it in competition, 1471 looks FREAKIN' scary to me. Guess that's why they have different classes so you can give yourself attainable goals and work your way up.

dont get discouraged. as I told my training partner it takes at least five years to get from beginner to doing well at states. elite is no joke so give it AT LEAST that much time. strength gains,real strength gains at the top level take time. also, the more you can compete the better because there isa BIG differnce between hitting numbers in the gym and getting them at meets.
start with level 4 and and work up.the only way you wont get it is if you quit.
Patience man, all you have is time.
Thanks guys. Yeah I'm actually not discouraged at all. I am 35 and besides raising kids and getting married I have never taken anything to a high level of skill.
I took karate but dropped out when it got really hard ect ect.
I don't want to look back when I'm an old man and say I WISH..........
I have no illusions elite is a LOFTY LOFTY goal that's why I chose it. I don't care how long it takes.
35 is perfect, actually. pretty much very close to one's peak physically as a man.I beleive we all get only so much hard ass training and competition years. probably no more than 15. Doesnt matter if you start at 20 by 35 you're pretty shot. If you start at 35 you're looking at 50. Look at Pavels father at 68 making huge progress- he never trained heavy before!
35-40 was my strongest years.
Cool. Man I honestly appreciate the advice and encouragement.
my pleasure.
Just start doing meets, is my advice. Just pick one, set a deadline and do it.
You're built for it!
