A Guide To Your First Powerlifting Meet 

Sounded like Thrall said "do not cut weight" but alls I heard is "cut to 74's, you'll be shredded AF"

9:53 THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! Don't make excuses, just SIGN UP for a competition! I had a ton of fun at my first competition. It was very inviting and friendly. Many competitors say that they are really competing against themselves, trying to lift more than last time. We were all cheering each other on. My best lifts aren't impressive, but now that they are officially recorded in USAPL's database, it gives me more motivation to lift way more next time.

Just had my first meet and placed first! Was so stoked

My first powerlifting meet was yesterday and it was great, I won first in my weight class, granted I was the only one in my weight class, someone in my school who was competing squatted 520 easy so that was exciting

You could TOTALLY be a run way model! You've got IT!

when the lightbulb comes on from realizing why the company is called "SBD"

5:26 love that smile.

This helped take the anxiety of competing so much. Would LOVE videos like this. Maybe how to warm up at meets? Like getting adequately prepared for your opener without being fatigued, what to do to keep "warm" in between your attempts etc

4:04 I am moist

my fiance walked on me watching this at 4:02...We are not getting married anymore, thanks Alan!

Using the metric system? Have you guys finally come to your senses ;)

I really thought all the people at the end were gonna do the “TRAIN UNTAMED!” Thing

Terrified to compete but pushing myself to find competitions near me. I was also considering dropping my weight to make a class below me since I'm fairly close, it's a relief to hear you recommend just going for it and reminding us to have fun with our lifting. Thankyou, Alan!

Alan, always on point with these videos. I just yesterday thought about going to a meet. And today you give me all the knowledge I need to know to do it. Thanks for the upload

Thankyou for this, I feel a lot more at ease for my upcoming competition 💪🏻😇

I love how you post this right after my first powerlifting meet :')

Today's my first day preparing for something similar to a meet. Alan always delivers.

Amazing info

that Catwalk was FIERCE

Hey Alan, nice work.

What's RPE? About to do first meet. I think I'm just going to PR on every attempt for all three lifts. By the way, anyone know any good pre-workouts to try? Want to try one that will help me through meet day, which hopefully isn't too long. Hopefully I don't shit myself either as I've cut a lot of weight to be more competitive against these smaller chumps Thanks for all help Alan and please leave me some tips to make my first meet a blast!! Oh ya how do I program snatch?

4:00 best part

Competing for the first time next school year and I’m winning state without a doubt in my mind

Allan you are a savage bro! Too much sauce!

Thanks for the video all love ❤️ from Syria

Best video ever

Awesome vid

Gahddamn Luke made that 750# pull look effortless!

That scoring card hit right in the heart, Alan. I am Adam Paul.

My God! That singlet catwalk... I cannot stop laughing

Watched this video a few times and my favorite part is the tidbits he leaves at the end about weight cuts...

great knowledge

Got my first proper one today 💪

Thanks for this advice! I have my first ever meet coming up in September and was a bit worried on how to warm up

Brilliant vid. Also props for "The Mask" reference :D

Just came home after my first meet. Bench and squat events were kinda meh, yet the deadlift made up for it . I was the only one using conventional , yet 350kg pull felt amazing . Besides dizzyness ;D

This seems like such a great community to train with. Wish I were close enough to join the gym.

Thanks for the video Alan. I'm considering competing but kinda scared and there is no one around me that competes so this helps

So damn helpful. Thank you sir

Great video.... In IPF sanctioned meets the call for "Platform Ready" is "Bar Loaded" . Greetings from Pakistan

That hair flip 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for always educating us on getting strong the right way.

3:15 what a nice good looking squat

Really helpful

Powerlifting is so fun

It's good to see his humour is back. Lol

Wow such timing. Its my first powerlifting meet tommorow😂

thanks alan

Got my first meet ever, 10/12/19. This video helped a lot!!
