    powerlifting meet in 2 weeks for DL.. how do i prepare?

    hey guys,

    i just convinced my friend to come to the PA meet with me for powerlifting. im going to do the DL but i have never trained for a powerlifting meet.

    i have 2 weeks to fully prepare (short notice i know) as of now my DL is
    425 + or - 10lbs raw.

    my workout is typically ..

    135x10 (warm up)
    225x5-6
    315x2
    405x1
    425x1

    then the rest of my back workout..

    im willing to put my reg. workout schedule on hold to train to max out my deads in 2 weeks. i was thinking monday-wed-friday workouts for DL or somthing? any info is appriciated!

    there is NOTHING you can do two wks out from a meet, you cant get any stronger in that ammount of time, you can only over train and get weaker. as a powerlifter, i completely stop deadlifting 2wks out from a meet so i can heal up and pull the most. 2 wks out form anymeet you shouldnt be pulling anything from the floor. you really need to do research on training
