   Finally got nervous enough to sign up and see what is on this forum.  Been a weight lifter since for ever (>20yrs), once upon a time thought I might try bodybuilding, now I play volleyball as my aerobic activity.
Finally saw a games in person last year and decided to follow up on a lifetime goal...and give 'er a go.
What are good lift weights to figure you have the strength?  My current numbers for reps are...squats 360lb, deads 315, dumbell press 90's.  
Personally I am thinking that should be good basic strength...????
Now I am going to focus on shoulders for the throws.
I have a home made caber and heavy weight and been messing around with form on those.  (Turns out my caber is too short, only 12')  Now that the weather is good I may get to the park, and freak out the neighbors some more times.
Glad to see there are KC'ers as new as I am.

	Hey dl, I'm also a newbie from the area, actually Blue Springs, MO. Look at the post that Lori Henderson posted to my topic below. There's an event coming up in just a couple weeks on the Kansas side. Travis
