WEEK 11 DAY 2 MOCK MEET
Goal today was to bury all squats, nail my opening lifts, and practice commands. Today was not the time to set PR's, as I am not going to get any stronger before the meet. Mission accomplished. Eleven weeks of heavy lifting has given me the tools to succeed at the meet. I am healthy, both mentally & physically, and loaded with more confidence than I could ever hope for. When I first joined the forum just under 3 years ago, I never imagined it would lead to this. I am so very fortunate to be able to compete.

Based upon this and my previous lifting, LtL and I have decided my opening numbers will be:
Squat: 365
Bench: 250
Deadlift: 425
After these lifts are nailed, 2nd lifts will be:
Squat: 390
Bench: 260
Deadlift: 440
And finally, after those are nailed, third lifts will be:
Squat: 405
Bench: 270
Deadlift: 455
Total: 1130
First lifts are written in stone. If I am having a particularly strong day, I think I am allowed to change my second and third lifts. However, It is probably best if I stick to this plan. I would be extremely happy with these numbers, especially for a geezer at his first meet. Just getting on the platform before I lift anything is a big accomplishment for me. It's going to be one of the biggest days of my life.
Everything will be a PR, since I will be at an official judged meet.
