1st meet back from the dead.

[Learningtopump]

So the extended portion of my life - or my next level of torment depending on how you look at it is going better than I thought it would. I'm less than 3 weeks away from my first meet back I mentioned it a couple time in other threads but thought I'd see if anyone had any good vibes to send over this way for meet prep\day. Training has gone so much better than I could have ever imagined it going. The struggle to not hit max attempts was the hardest part. There were several times that when performing the top sets for that day I would re-rack the weight to verify the correct weight on the bar it because it felt so light. Before I went away for a bit I was struggling with my hypertrophy days and hitting 146 sets of 6 caused all kind of issues. 144 was just flying around like a warmup set today. Top lift today was a 182.5 after warmup and 3 sets of 6 with 144, I hit my opener of 162.5 like butter and top lift of 182.5 was candy! I will unlikely add much more strength in the next couple weeks but even if I stay right here I'm projecting a 195 third, just 2.5 off my all time PR in a lower age class and 2 weight classes up, so I'm fucking siked!!! Living in a gym has its up and downs, but this just feels good. Anyhoo...

I haven't done a lift meet in almost ten years. I'm planning on doing one in October. Talk about nervous.

Fucking awesome! You doing full power, I'm guessing you'll be atleast squating? I miss doing full power but with my back I have a hard time lifting my ass off the bench squats and deads are not gonna happen. I also miss equipped lifting, but I still have flashbacks. I need to juet get under some real weight and get over myself!

I was never a good squater or deadlifter, I'm to tall, to far to travel, LOL. My max bench equipped on stage is 615, sso I know how heavy that is. When are you starting to prep? Will you be running a log here or anywhere to follow? I keep meaning to set one up but never do.
