Meet in August

**romanaz** · 06-20-2007, 11:49 PM

I might be doing a deadlift only meet in Upstate New York with a friend of mine from NYC.

He would be doing the Full meet, me deadlift only as right now I have no intention of competing in a full meet unless I get out of olympic lifting.

cool cool, so you going to go for a PR of 195?

i need to do a meet too

I'll help you out on your meet later.

I was thinking about it, and it would be pretty nice to have some #'s for my squat from a meet, but I don't want to get back into wide squats for a few reasons, more so that it would mess with my catchs on the o-lifts and that it hurts my knee now.

I think deadlift would be enough. I pulled 405 for one yesterday, I think if I work really hard, I can easily get back to 420 and maybe shoot for 440 on meet day.

Depending on the meet date, open up with 90% of your best attempt in the gym. I'll get back at you with how your workouts should be scheduled before the meet.

I think that will be good. I gotta find out how much to join and compete at this meet, when the weigh-in is (day before or day of) so I can figure out if I want to try and make it in the 198 class or 220. I'd prefer 198 so I can have an official 2x bw deadlift on the records, without having to attempt 440.

why the f are you still doing oly lifts?

b/c I'm going to FDU in the fall (90% likely) and I'll be on the olympic weightlifting team. They are one of (if not the) best olympic college gym on the East coast. Why pass up this oppurtunity? Plus its way more fun

ah yeah, it wasn't working last night. So this will be 100 bucks and a lot of fun. :-D

so I gotta put down a weight class.. 198 would be best to lift in as I'm nearest that, but I'd have to find a way to be 198 or less on the scale and that would mean dropping 6-7 lbs and/or dehydrating b4 the weigh n the night b4.

hmmm

**DJSTARER** · 06-22-2007, 04:27 PM

if you purchase a DL suit, u will increase your max significantly. I would say I got 30lbs or more out of my suit.

**Peaked_18** · 06-22-2007, 04:37 PM

If your planning on going equipped than get some practice out of your suit. I recommend getting a squat suit and using that with the straps down.

How is your training up to the meet?

**romanaz** · 06-23-2007, 04:44 AM

honestly, I'd rather go raw, I don't have money to play around with a suit that I'll only use when I prepare for a deadlift meet, specially when I'm just getting ready to invest 20k + for college.

My plan right now is to deadlift once or twice a week, once heavy, once speed, or both heavy. By heavy I mean Doubles and triples near/above 90% and singles over 95%.

I'll be taking the week of off completely and pulling my opener 2 weeks prior to the meet and cycle the volume and intensity down the week before. I'm thinking the opener will be around 390 or so. Like I stated before, I would like to nail 440 at the meet. Doesn't mean I have to nail it at the gym, but I would like to. I think I can do it as I locked out 445 from bottom of the knee tonight after a long lifting session. Fresh I think it would be easier, but still not off the ground.

**Peaked_18** · 06-23-2007, 02:30 PM

Don't deadlift twice heavy... your not going to last long.

**romanaz** · 06-23-2007, 06:30 PM

yeah, I'm going back to heavy and speed now.

:-D what better way to start off a deadlift cycle then with some heavy weights :-D haha
