ClaudeMachining Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I've never done a meet. I'm looking at this one to pop my cherry. I lift RAW and weigh 205 right now. I'm not sure I could get down 198 and maintain full strength but damn, there will be some big guys in 220. Do you want me to hook you up with Joel, our s&c coach? I know he work with people online reviewing lift by vidéo etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Also I think that is a good idea to come in at your natural weight imo. I think weight cuts mess guys up too much and take the fun out of it. I competed in the 181 class and I would just come in around 173. You will still have fun even though your lifting in a bigger class. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 DDQ, if you don't already have someone doing your programming, look into doing jonnie canditos 6 week strength program. I ran that after my first meet and make a ton of progress, just a thought. It's a peaking program for a meet.

bluebanshee98 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Bluebanshee, you still doing shows? I've left the dark road of bodybuilding for good, and am committed to traveling the righteous path of powerlifting. I'm aiming for my first meet this winter and hope I can total 1200. No shows just doing it for myself now. It doesn't have to be a dark road. Why was it such a dark road for you? Good luck on the powerlifting meet. I'm sure you'll have fun. Make sure to warm up properly as injurys can really suck and set you back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draggins10 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I've never done a meet. I'm looking at this one to pop my cherry. I lift RAW and weigh 205 right now. I'm not sure I could get down 198 and maintain full strength but damn, there will be some big guys in 220. Is over head press usually one of the lifts in a power lifting event? I assumed it was bench, squats, deadlifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Thanks, I've got a guy reviewing my lifts and setting my programming online. He's going to coach me through the meet prep when it gets closer.Are you doing full power? If so get you a pair of strong knee sleeves from mark bell of super training Also I got a pair of Nike romeloes squat shoes (190 bucks) that I'm trying to get rid of if your interested. 80 bucks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited July 17, 2016 by Ayesully810 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 But what if your Adidas are the PT Mids of the powerlifting game? Sure they'll work, but what if they just fall short on the big end? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I'm happy with my Adidas shoes. I'll get some wraps if they are allowed in the class I enter but I don't need them for all my trainingStrong sleeves aren't wraps, they are knee sleeves. All Raw lifting Feds allow sleeves. If you do end up using wraps though, be sure to train with wraps leading up to a meet, it's totally different doing raw and then doing raw with wraps.
