Hi, I'm 14 years old, turning 15 26 of February. I'm currently around 165, benching 180(around 160-165 pause), squatting 245 parallel, 210 ATG, and deadlifting 330. I would like to get into some powerlifting events, anyone can help me?

Deadlift - I'm not a teen but I live in New Smyrna Beach/Edgewater area. There is a big meet on Oct 13-14 at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex. It is the AAU World Championships. I would recommend at least checking it out.
The next big meet for 100% RAW in our area is in Melborne on Dec 1-2. It is the World Championships as well.
Good luck.

I plan on at least checking out the one on Dec 1-2 with my dad, and possibly brother. Also, when doing the drug test do they even check teens? And is it only a check for steroids? Or other drugs as well?

Everything can show up on a drug test so if you taking anything illegal then you might what to drop it.

Well shoot. I'll wait until I'm 15 to join, go watch some events, get a feel for the atmosphere. I'm quitting a month or 2 before 15 anyways. Also it'll give me time to bring my lifts up alot more so I'm very confident and will for sure break some state records.
Thank you Hammer3000

if i were you i'd just go to a meet to get your feet wet. get a feeling of what it's like to lift in front of a lot of people and making sure you hit your openers, etc. then i'd give it a rest and come out and dominate some stuff when you're about to turn 16 so you'll be at the top of your age division and then throw up some beasty numbers. i'm a year older than you and i think i'm gonna do the same thing. take a break for a while when i turn 16 and then hit up some meets when i'm about to turn 17 or something.

I would say maybe looking into this and other feds.. Some other feds have bigger teen league so for that they have a lot more teen style meets... If u go to powerliftingwatch.com u can look at all the meets side by side to see what's right for u... To be honest raw tho a very good fed. And very up and coming for raw lifters. Does not offer too much in the deland area for teens.. U might get two meets a year within driving distance...
