I work out at home and have a power rack and free weights. I have no doubt that if I lifted at the gym I would feel like an idiot though! One of the most annoying things about the sport/hobby/whole thing is what seems like a constant need to judge and critique other peoples exercises and techniques. I really like this thread because it seems like people here are giving genuine advice without that.

Powerlifting competitions include bench press, deadlifts, and squats. These are some of the main exercises to base your regular weight training around. Competency in these lifts will get you a long way and save you a lot of time.
