Welcome to the power lifting thread!
Here we'll discuss technique for the squat,bench, and deadlift. We'll also talk about competitions and any other shenanigans.

So what is power lifting? Isn't that weight lifting?
Power lifting focuses on the Big 3: Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift. While weight lifting is the snatch and the clean and jerk.

Where can I compete?
There are a lot of federations with different rules and types of competitions. Some are push and pull or all three. Like weight lifting there are weight classes. You can find about competitions in your state/counter here: http://www.usapowerlifting.com/calendar.shtml

and

http://www.powerlifting-ipf.com/5.html?PHPSESSID=a4add2bf5a48fedc0bd32833cd20611a


What is the deal with the equipment?

In Raw competitions, this is without the use of suits. You can use a belt, knee wraps and you must be in a wrestling singlet.

Equipped lifting is where you use a squat suit and a bench shirt. These lifters lift more than Raw lifters, some people are not really impressed ( I think it's neat).

Programs

These are specifically power lifting programs, but they all focus on the Big 3. The whole point is to get lifting.

Beginners:

Starting Strength
Strong lifts

Intermediate:
5/3/1
Madcow
Texas Method

Okay, if there is anything that I missed, completely wrong, needs to be added just say so.

I have a very hard time understanding the purpose of this post.

Nice that someone finally made a powerlifting thread.
I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

Powerlifting is a ridiculously awesome extra-curricular activity...In all of the years that I've been participating in the sport, 99% of the other lifters, even guys who are world-class athletes are willing to help you out to help you become a better lifter. I think one of the other things I really enjoy about the sport is that it's really easy to gauge progress. Good to see it getting out to various places and people. Iron Sport Gym rocks. www.thestrengthreview.com

Sick lifts...kinda silly though that he wears so much gear he can't even walk up stairs though :-/
Maybe someday i'll learn to squat low bar and throw on a suit and knee wraps and see what i can do :D

can someone post a typical 6 week training program or anything like that. i'm curious to what exercises, how many reps, and stuff like that you should stay on, to become kick ass at powerlifting.

Check out a program like 5/3/1. Strstd.com is a good site to plug in your numbers and see what your routine is. 5/3/1 also has three power lifting (and a body building) routine. There is high rep accessory work, but the main lifts are low rep, and they are where you go heavy.

All these events allow benching shirts and straps so when everyone use them it's not giving you an edge over fellow competitors but I'd also prefer competitions without that much extra gear. According to wiki shirt records are ~30% or so higher but I also heard that unless you have practiced for weeks with shirt you won't get that kind of result so don't expect ~170kg+ bench with shirt if you don't train with it first Few month old squat ( it kind of demotivated me because he was unknown for be back then and I just had squated 100kg PR like 30min before he started squating ) and bench press so he is still a beast for his 95-105kg bw :D

IPF allows single-ply suits which aren't nearly as bad as they can get.

Kinda douchy move though to drop the bar on the squat...
