Thanks man. Yeah I really hope a spot opens up for one of these meets, otherwise it looks like I will have to wait until March.

Today would have been the Avengers meet. Tried to time it out like a meet, spread it over 3 hours and paced myself. Tried to leave enough in the tank, but still chase PRs, just in case I can get into the CT meet next.
12/05/20
-Weight: 109.6
-Squat: 240, 255, 265
-Bench: 185, 195, 202.5
-Deadlift: 270, 285, 300
-Total: 767.5
-Wilks/GL/Dots: 452.21/455.19/92.90
Squat: Nice little 2.5 pr. Not looking for much more than 252.5 next week, if I can get into the meet.
20x10(2)
75x5
125x3
175x2
205, 225
240, 255, 265 PR
Bench Press: Elbow and shoulder were OK, flared up after squat, but that was expected. Managed a nice little 2.5 pr. Pause could have been longer, butt definitely stayed down though. If the meet happens we want to go for a 9 RPE at most on squat to spare energy for 200 to happen in the meet.
20x10(3)
70x8
100x6
127.5x2
150, 170
185, 195, 202.5 PR
Deadlift: Very happy with this, almost stopped at 255 due to pain through left biceps, cleared up and took the PR.
125x3
175, 225, 255
270, 285, 300 PR

12/12/20 - CT Snowflake Showdown
-Weight: 110.10
-Squat: 235, 255, 265 (15 Comp PR)
-Bench: 182.5, 192.5, 200x (2.5 Comp PR)
-Deadlift: 265, 285, 300 (17.5 Comp PR)
-Total: 757.5 (35 Comp PR)
-Wilks/GL/Dots: 445.64/448.49/91.5
- Drug Tested
Pro:
- Made every effort, within reason, to participate in a meet (2 rescheduled, 1 cancelled)
- Rushed meet prep and extended taper/peak worked out
- Pains were at about 0 on meet day
- Bodyweight was finally above 110
- Was able to provide solid advice to several first time powerlifters
Cons:
- Was not comfortable on older Elieko combo rack bench, need to be prepared next time
- Did not keep up with hydration, piss during meet was too yellow, drug test piss after was worse
- When things are feeling good I have to make better calls
- I need to download several songs on to the phone for "amping up", no wifi and poor cell reception
led to choppy songs or no songs
- Need to stay focused during warmups, was a little behind for squats and deadlifts that lead to
some rushing
1:00: 2x Tylenol, 1 aspirin
3:45: started to sip PWO, 1 Gold standard, 1 Ben Esgro stuff
4:30ish: Squat
Next: 1 Scoop Gold
Next: Bench
Next: Half scoop Gold
Next: Deadlift
Squat:
20x10
75x8

235 - Easy, perfect call
255 - Moved slower than last week, but a good call
265 - Easy 3rd, 267.5 was there for sure
Bench Press: Had to bench in flats, first time in flats for heels down.
20x15
70x8
105x5
135x3
155x2
170(2)
182.5 - Moved better than it felt, not confident about 200 after
192.5 - Moved better than it felt, 200 felt like it would be there with a grind
200x - Could not make the adjustments, not upset
Deadlift: Screwed up the weight, thought 235 was 245, didn't make a difference. Felt good to have the biggest deadlift of the day and close out a meet, hasn't happened since C&J's in weightlifting.

It looked like 200 bench was there. If you had done it as your 1st or 2nd set you'd have got it.
Your deadlifts and squats looked like a breeze. You'll probably notch 600+ squat and 700+ deadlift in a couple months if you want it.

Thanks man. Yeah all 3 of those are the goals for March, 272.5+, 200 as a 2nd attempt, and 317.5 for deadlift. Hoping my rescheduled meet takes place in late March, I think it could be a big one.
