WEEK 11 DAY 1
I have now been lifting heavy for 11 weeks straight now. I am thru with heavy 5X5 as I can't take the brutality of it anymore. No regrets tho as it has made me stronger physically & mentally. I didn't really bury anything tonight. I was focusing on depth on all sets of squats, and upon viewing the vids in slo-mo, I thought I hit legal depth for the most part. The last 5X5 set of 380 was so hard, but I got it done. I didn't have much left, but i wanted to do a couple of singles at my potential opening weight for the meet. Even tho I was wasted, I thought I hit legal depth. I tried 2 different stances. I thought I hit a bit better depth on the "narrower" stance. On Saturday, I think I will bring in my stance for my mock meet squats. I think I will be able to hit depth better this way. Up until now it has been all wide stance squats. I am also not feeling well, as I have caught a cold. My supercharged immune system seems to be fighting off tho. better this week than next I say!! I almost hurled after that last set of 380 squats. I am quite confident I will nail all my openers on Saturday. Here is a link to the "my first meet" info for the CPU. It appears as though they will be more forgiving on my first lift if I tell them this is my first meet. http://www.canadianpowerliftingfeder...d=43&Itemid=21 Squat 300 X5 320 X5 340 X5 360 X5 380 X5 This is a rep PR for this weight ![]() 385 X1 Wide Stance 385 X1 Narrow Stance Depth was very good on the first 4 sets Incline Bench 150 X5 170 X5 190 X5 205 X5 212.5 X4 This is a rep PR at this weight ![]() Cleans 140 X1 160 X1 170 X1 180 X1 192.5 X1 All Time PR!! ![]() ![]()

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. Squats All Singles: 135 155 185 225 255 285 315 335 350 365 365 385 Bench Press All were paused. Once again, all singles. At the meet, I may have to pause a second longer, but no problemo. 155 175 195 205 225 240 255 250 Deadlift All raw singles 225 275 335 385 405 425 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.

Depth was good on that 385 Jim. Well done. Really excited for you. No matter what you do, enjoy the day and have fun.
