LiE's Log Part 2

[icecold]

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 Dom will be no better either!

 

[LiE]

With the numbers above there is a risk I may miss my 3rd lift on each. Think I should dial them all back by 5kg?

 

[Delvis]

Id diall them back if youre thinking that now. But hen i have no idea how comp mentality will affect things

 

[LiE]

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.

 

[Delvis]

Yeah, all depends on how you feel on the day i guess? Or do you need to give numbwrs beforehand? Are you training at a different time than usual for the conp? May change things

 

[icecold]

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.

Don't do it LiE, it's a trap!

[icecold]

It's already happening!

Shut up testosterone

Sounds good. I'll get a video of my lifts on Monday.
