In Response To: SO HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN LIFTING ? (Tim"THEPEOPLESCHAMP"Bruner)

My first powerlifting meet was 1975 in Tampa, Fla. at the Tampa Open. I was 17 and competed in the open division 165 class @ 158 lbs and posted a 480 squat, 320 bench press and 495 deadlift without any super suit, wraps or bench shirt. BTW, I won that event, defeating some national caliber lifters at that time. I started out as an olympic lifter in 1973 and posted lifts of a 240 lbs snatch, 260 lbs press and 290 c&j in 1975 also.
