    I live in Missouri. I can easily get back to doing deads at 300lbs for reps. At age 63 and 240lbs, does that mean no one else can do that or has competed at my age?

    It means that in that particular federation, no one has bothered to enter a meet at that age and bodyweight who can deadlift.

    You'll find the same thing in any federation when you start looking at Masters. Especially in the 60+ age groups and 200+ weight classes.

    If you can squat to depth (does depth matter in that federation?) then it sounds like it's time to win yourself some shiny gold medals! It's fun to say you're the state champion and as for the lack competition, hey, it's not your fault if nobody better shows up.

    It would be an ego boost if one could put it as, "no body dared to show up!", a la, Aleksandr Karelin

    Well. Getting beat by a superior total is not nearly as humiliating or potentially painful as being suplexed by Karelin.
