I think you're doing it the right way.

First comps are not about smashing PBs and getting a huge total.

Remember, every lift is a comp PB, which is really all that counts.

I was advised to get 9 good lifts for my first comp, and I think that's what I'd recommend.

Also, listen to what I say now rather than on comp day. When I'm fired up there is a serious danger that I'll suggest being much more aggressive with your numbers :D Dom will be no better either!
 
The 3rd lift is basically my current PB, which I've done in my gym and on separate days. Took me 2 attempts to nail 200 at the mock meet on squat, and I'll only have 1 try at the comp. However, the 195 that I did this week was comfy.

I'll see how my openers go on Monday.
 
From seeing your lifts recently I'd say your lifts look safe enough. It's one thing to be slightly conservative, but you wouldn't want to miss too much.

I haven't seen your benching actually, but I think you should trust your judgement.

Either way, we can talk about it on the day and make adjustments.

Sounds good. I'll get a video of my lifts on Monday.
 
All 3 main lifts tonight up to my opener weight for a single and as prescribed by ice, no psyching up aloud :(:p

Started off with lacrosse ball in the knee area and quad/TFL foam rolling (this makes a big difference when squatting). I then did shoulder and pec stretching as usual.

Squat - made sure not to look in the mirror.
