Return to the powerlifting platform: Meet recap 

Thanks brother! Psyched with the results and really looking forward to further improvements at the next meet.

Thanks Jonathan! I believe I could have hit 425, but I’ll leave that and more, for my next meet 😄

Thanks Carter!

Appreciate the kind words Joe!

Greatly appreciate that!

Of course! By the way, your PR-4000 rack and accessory reviews remain the most comprehensive ones on the internet and they were the reason I finally placed an order for one this month. Hope the affiliate link worked! @@twistedbarbell3950

Thanks. Got the magnetic labels from RocketSupplyCo.

You know, results say I placed 1st in my masters weight division and 2nd in open, but I don’t know if that’s accurate. It was so late when it was done, I didn’t stick around past initial medals 😂

I absolutely have had experience with this. It is common and I’m guessing expected by experienced competitors. The body is resilient even though it feels wrecked. As you saw, I couldn’t hit my 405 DL even after a 2nd try, just a couple of weeks prior to the meet. I hit that for the 1st time in May and only got much stronger, yet I couldn’t do it then. You gotta trust the training. This week should be easy for you and really just going through the motions. Don’t do anything extra, get good sleep, eat well and ensure you’re getting adequate protein. If you do that, your body should be bouncing back at this point and you should be able to hit your targeted lifts. 1st meet will be overwhelming so just keep your head in the game and you’ll be fine. Best of luck!!

@@twistedbarbell3950 Appreciate your response man! Yeah being my first meet and feeling this way this close to competing has me feeling a bit pessimistic, but yeah, I’ll trust the program and get adequate rest and nutrition.

🤣doubtful, but I appreciate your optimism!
