You can definitely use the muscles from lifting and use them to your advantage in gymnastics, you'd be suprised how much more control and balance you would have with stronger muscles

I would think the two would be incompatible. Gymnasts do need to be strong but also limber and very flexible. I would think the highly developed muscles necessary for power lifting would compromise your flexibility. Talk to your gymnastics trainer/coach about it for a more informed opinion.

Powerlifting and gymnastics can be done together as long as you will be able to balance the two. Powerlifting is best for building muscles and strength. You can visit the site http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/powerlifting-workout.html to get more details.
