Powerlifting partner wanted
Do you want to lift heavy things together?

Hi folks,
Novice here, looking for a lifting partner for 2-3 sessions/week. I like to keep sessions short* with the following program:
A day
----------
4x[max reps] Pullups/chinups**
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench
3x5 Deadlift
B day
----------
4x[max reps] Pullups/chinups
3x5 Squat
3x5 Press
[Wildcard: farmer's walk, power cleans, &c.]
aiming for strict form and safety throughout.
Program is negotiable, especially for a partner who could show me a thing or two about Olympic lifting.
I'm still a beginner, as you can see by the following stats. All weights are current working weights (in lbs) for 3x5, not 1RMs:
Squat: 215
Deadlift: 175 (de-loaded substantially to correct form, which is why it sucks)
Bench: 150
Press: 100
Typical Chinup sets: 10,6,5,4
Ideally you'd be in the same ballpark, but your numbers are much less important than general willingness to show up and lift :) Complete beginners also welcome.
Evenings are best for me, but that's also negotiable. If we're focused, we can bang these out in ~30min, so it's not a terribly taxing time commitment.
About myself: Extremely laid-back, non-intimidating grad student looking to get stronger.
Send me an email at pon2@umbc.edu if interested. Thanks for reading!

** (Why four? Because we do 4x30s squat stretches before squatting, and fit the pull-ups in between those...)
