    Current weight is 200 but could drop 10lbs easy for a weigh in

    You should be competitive. I’m assuming it’s a raw meet? Your bench will help, your deads need to come up some but are in striking range. How tall are you?

    6ft and not raw at the moment but I've only been back in the gym for 3-4 months

    My starting range was
    200 bench.
    225 squat
    185 dead

    After this cycle ends (low dose test cycle) I'm going raw

    Raw refers to not using bench or squat suits to lift. Which when you do is termed “equipt.”

    Hey bro. Did you do the show?
    Who gives a shit if you’re competitive at your FIRST show? Sounds like you have some great starting strength. The goal is to get the most out of YOU. Ensure you have a COACH. I’ve been to WORLD SHOWS seeing lifters without a coach. What does a good coach do?
    1. Ensures you only leave your chair to warmup or lift etc. HE gets you Gatorade. Your gymbag.

    2. It’s HIS responsibility to have a clipboard with every lifter in your class
    attempts. Do you have any idea how many times I’ve seen people rushed by scorekeepers to turn their next attempt when the lifter BEFORE has not? What an advantage. He picks your attempts and turns them in. That’s his JOB

    3. He times your warmups by staying in close touch with the scorers table.
    75% OF LIFTERS WARMUP WAY TOO EARLY AND EVEN MORE TOO HEAVY!
    He loads ALL your warmups. You are not to pick up a plate! HE tells everyone when it’s your turn. Let’s say your 5th in flight 2. The director said they are going from one flight to the next. In this case. Your last warmup. Should be around when the second to the last lifter walks on the platform. Within 4 minutes flights over. Your in the wings after the FIRST lifter of your flight. After your warmup your coach should ALREADY have an area near the ramp for you to sit. Chalk. Knee wraps wrapped (4 pairs). Wrist wraps laid out. Chalk. Salts. Music. Gatorade. You sit down. He serves your knees. Now when it’s his turn you’ll do the same

    4. As for score. NO WORRIES !
    If you’re coach finds you top 5 subtotal he SHOULD start playing strategy.

    You should be able to do FOUR reps with your DL opener. If it’s. Say?
    Ten pounds from the highest
    opener and your pull cycle went easy he needs to decide if he should change yours up 15. THEN COACH PAYS CLOSE ATTENTION TO HIS OPENER
    AND YOURS. IF YOURS IS EASIER YOUR SET. SO UP AT THE SCORERS TABLE COACH MUST ENSURE HE TURNS HIS ATTEMPT IN FIRST! ALSO KEEPING TRACK OF THE REST. IF YOU’RE SECOND KEEPS YOU IN FIRST PLACE SAME THING. ENSURE YOU TURN IN LAST. REMEMBER YOU CAN CHANGE ONLY YOUR LAST DL. ONCE. SOLETS SAY YOUR HEAVIER. YOU MUST WIN NOT TIE. SO JUST ENSURE ONCE HE TURNS IN HIS FINAL HE DOES NOT CHANGE IT!!

    Bro you need to lift at 198 unless I’m missing something?

    Get a good coach and all the friends you can. It’s YOUR day. Tell them. When it’s their turn you’ll do the same.

    This method has allowed me to capture more than one world title.

    For the haters. There’s more than one way to win. I gave ONE in an effort to help the dude and anyone else getting ready for their first show.
