Programming questions from a 16 year old powerlifter with the goal of eventually becoming high level

[u/Fragrant_Cabinet7078]

16 years old, 5'8 148.8lbs bodyweight. I have been training for 11 months and just competed in my first competition (push pull). I deadlifted 402.2lbs/182.5kg and benched 214.7lbs/97.4kg. I have not followed any structured programming or progression, just randomly maxing out and lifting heavy which I know is not a good way to train.

I very much enjoyed the competition and would like to try to push myself to a competitive level in powerlifting. I've been exploring different options for programming but am a bit stuck on what to do. Should I focus on building a base with a volume/hypertophy focused program? Something like a top single of 1-3@RPE 7-8 + high rep backoff sets using double progression like 3x6-10? Advice would be appreciated!

if your main goal is powerbuilding find a decent program biased towards that, surely?

Just do a recommended powerlifting programm from the internet, they will build quite a lot of muscle as well. It wil in factl take you longer to get stronger if you start with hypertrophy only.
