Meet day numbers?

[J_Byrd]

So I am 4 weeks out from the meet at this point. I have been playing with numbers so far. The main goal is to reach the pro total at 308, which is 2325. I think if I go 9 for 9 I could total 2500! I have either done, or exceded each of these lifts in training (with the exception of the 3rd attempt deadlift). Here is what I am thinking, feel free to drop some imput.

Squat: 900, 970, 1005
Bench: 700, 735, 770
Deadlift: 630, 700, 725

I have no input other than -- you rock!

Opening with a PR hardly ever works out well. I think you should open on bench lower. Your great gym lifts weren't done after squating a G. You don't want to mess that up with a bad decision on bench opener. Hit something EZ( 675ish), then load the bar. IMO.

What worries me about that Roger is that I cant touch with a decent groove. Orginally the plan was to take 675, but worry that I cant get it down. Even with the collar as high as I can keep it, 650 to the 2board is a bear! Guess I should try to touch consistantly at 675 over the next 3 weeks?

EDIT: This is what I worked out: 675, 710, 750. I have to have at least 675 to get to my total, really anything after that is just extra. I am also considering only taking 2 attempts in the squat. Maybe 950 then 1005?

If all you need is 675, I would definately start there. You know I'm not a full power guy, so I'm not savvy on how much skwatts effect bench strength. If it was bench only, I'd say go for it with your training #'s, but it's not. You can always go up if you have problems touching,but can't go down if you have lockout problems.

Very good point. I will work on touching the 675. I can make a bigger jump on the 2nd attempt if I want.

Not much to add in terms of advice... but just mind-boggling numbers J!
