For those that compete

[MattStu]

I am jsut wondering for those that compete what their first competition was like. I am thinking about getting into an AAU meet and never have competed. I feel i would have a decent chance at the junior level 181lb weight class with a 410lb deadlift but i jsut dont feel like that is alot. Also in powerlifting there is nothing really to guide you so i would feel lost if i went into competition. So how did you all get going and what really shocked you about competitions or how they are run.
