This is something I still need to figure out. Been testing the water this week and all except bench felt strong. I intend to work up to my openers next week and then take a deload. I'll hopefully be able to confirm that I'll be competing soon and then get some advice for it. Have you got all yours set or are you still planning?

although its the 2012 national single lifts event, im gonna do all three events so id like to come out with 450 or higher... plan is for well over 500 in the 2012 nationals come May

opening with something like the below , depending on how next week goes...
squat - 150
bench - 120
dl - 180

500kg has been a long term goal of mine for a while. They look similar to what I'm thinking but with a lower bench for me. Hopefully I'll have a strong week from Monday and be able to deload with confidence.

im happy enough with them as openers , hope to set a new/equal PR on my second lift of each and then go for a balls out 3rd attempt - which will probably end in a fail or gready PR

im hopeful for a confident deload also , if it doesnt go to plan then ill revert to plan B*

*get angry as fcuk as i approach the bar and bully it up!!

Ye, I'm confident I can hit them and I certainly wouldn't mind hitting some PR's on lifts 2 or 3. Just wondering how much squat and bench will take it out of me before deads.

Strong stuff, JT! I'll bet the adrenaline kicks in and you crush all the lifts.

14/01/12 - Push Press 3x3

25kg x 5
32.5kg x 5
37.5kg x 3

45kg x 3
50kg x 3
57.5kg x 5

Pull-Ups (PP Superset)
5,5,5,5,5

Pendlay Rows
60kg x 10,10,10,10,10

CGBP
65kg x 8,8,8,8,8

Barbell Curl/Rear Laterals
25kg/8kg's x 12/12, 12/12, 10/10

Not a bad day, push press felt quite good, pull ups were strong with no kip, rows were quite a struggle and CG's were nice and fast.

The knee isn't feeling great, it's fine until I squat down and then it can be quite a nasty sharp pain. Pretty certain it's because I let the the weight transfer to my toes at the bottom of my squat yesterday and it may have strained a tendon or something. Will keep icing and heating and I've ordered some sleeves to keep heat in and see how they go. Will just avoid squat assistance on Monday and hope that it improves.
