Powerlifting, no doubt.

You, your aesthetics and your strenght will miss the bench and the deadlift. In addition olympic weightlifting is slighly more injury prone.

The powerlifting gym was less expensive, so that was a pro of that choice. I'm a 5'6 grill, 133lbs-- if it makes a difference. I wanted to do oly lifts, but I know I will miss other lifts if I'm only doing cleans and jerks, and snatches all day. Still debating between the two.

olympic lifts are about getting as fast as possible to the last position (explosion and momentum), powerlifting is about being able to move the weight all the way by sheer force (strenght)

as my goals are I'd go for the second

Listen here little baby. You're gonna get a lot of hurtful and degrading comments, but that ain't what I'm about. Let me just say, you are perfect the way you are. You hear me sugar? PERFECT. Don't ever change. You deserve anything and everything you want. Stay safe for me, baby girl.

>mfw reading this makes me want to do both
What if I want to be explosive and have the strength of a norse strongman? RIP.

Two of you have told me to go powerlifting so far, maybe it's best that I go that route and try oly lifts later on.

These are the gyms by the way:

Powerliftan-- http://www.undergroundsalem.com/

Oly liftan-- https://www.capitalcitybarbell.com/

If anyone else is in the Salem area and can suggest something better, I'm all ears. I do want to go somewhere with coaches though, I feel better about having someone there to make sure I'm using proper form at all times and help me progress.

Another shameless self bump

You can do oly lifts and supplement other lifts on the side (though for example doing too much bench might result in tight pectorals/shoulders interfering with your oly movements)

If you want to be able to throw heavy ass weight around and something "agility oriented", go with oly

Do you know if gyms that specialize in oly lifts typically have power racks? Or would I need to go to a seperate gym to supplement lifts?

You mean the cage looking thing? Depends on the gym, mine had one, check them out first

Pic related.

I'll be checking both gyms out first, just wanted to know if it's common for gyms that specialize in oly lifting to have power racks or not.

They had one of those yes. They probably have some separate equipment anyway, so it's not all rubber mat like in a dojo
