-24
-Chicago, IL south side!
-Active Edge
-215
-Bench 350
-Dead 475
-Front Squat 345

All my lifts are raw except for a belt and chalk. I'm new to powerlifting, convert from bodybuilding. My next training cycle I'm going to start doin back squats, I've been doin Front squats only because that is what I'm use to and wanted to see how my body would react to training heavy with them. In about 3 weeks i'm going to start using my bench shirt I recieved for my Bday when i start doin 3x3. Training is going very well and I think I'm gonna get my 500 dead in a few months. Gonna start posting more on the forvm.

My name is Henri Skiba
I've competed in the 80's90's and now 2000.I've seen the changes from garbage equipt to the science that enhances our sport today!!!I feel I've reinvented myself several times to keep on training. Our powerlifting group is made up of a mixed group led by TEK(TommyK) on your forum. Check out the universal nutrition catalog which contains several pics from our gym.We follow many if the westside training protocols,Dave Tate gave a seminar at our gym. We learned hands on from Bill Crawford and Sebastian Burns how to shirt bench at our gym. So we're always open to new ideas. Hopefully the forum can pick our minds.
Always looking for serious lifters to train with.

Im 28, residing in gurnee, IL. I just moved out here from seattle. I train at the golds there currently. Im looking for a powerlifting gym nearby to learn the techniques and methods and to eventually compete. My current totals are (only using a belt on squat), 315 bench, 485 squat and a 455 dead at 210 lbs. If anyone can point me in the right direction for some help that would be appreciated
