    You put in the work, and you had the balls and consistency to compete. That's more than most(myself included) can say. I'm just too **** lazy, tbh. Kids tend to make stuff like this impossible. At least until they get older...

    Anyways, you got the experience, and that counts for a lot. You've obviously learned from it too, so it wasn't a total bust.

    Btw, how is your MA training going? Do you feel they are interfering with each other?

    im managing to do 1 x 2hr grappling class a week as well as 1 x 2hr stand up class, i was also managing to get back with my old TCMA instructor but after a few classes my work scedule changed which means i can only train with him now and then, which is no good to him or me lol which is annoying.,
    Grappling twice a week and powerlifting twice a week does take its out of me i think at my age to be really good at one i would have to drop the other.

    As it is i get 2 complete rest days a week, to be a great powerlifter i need more than that, and to be at the level i was once in grappling i need to train that three times a week and rest the same amount, thats not going to happen as i love both so am happy being ok at both

    Much wisdom here...
    May I suggest this though, IF you choose to be more competitive in either or I suggest periodization.
    When you are doing grappling for a meet, dedicate 8 weeks to training every day to grappling and drop the PL.
    When you are doing a PL meet, do the same.
    IF you keep your training consistent year round, the 8 week lay off form either won't cut too much into the gains you make.

    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    I would go with this.
