Good luck today! You will be very nervous, but try to remember to have fun maxing out!
Whatever happens, a first meet is just about getting out there on the platform. It takes some guts to go put...
Ok, so one more prep question for the experienced folks:
I have 20 mins in between lifting flights for warm ups. Now, I'll probably use at least half of that for my old man routine (foam rolling...

That’s my favorite part when we have our manager meetings every other week at work….free food. Sounds like you had a good one. I always like to take leftovers home too. Hey, you can’t let it go to...

Hydrate, get whatever sleep you can, work on those knots & do a little mobility -...

Every night between now and the meet you should do some quiet time and visualize your lifts with your target weights...
Thanks guys…. I really do believe this AM community helps us to be better and reach or at least get closer to our goals. Not only do we encourage and cheer each other on, but the wealth of...
Great job….once you take your pre-workout Saturday and that adrenaline kicks in you’ll be in the zone. Just keep stretching and working those knots out and you’ll kill it Saturday. 💪😎👍

Yup, our potatoes, our beans, beef from mom and dads, cooked in the...

Haha yes, that is true - but I would also definitely classify myself as a competitive powerlifter, so I have to measure against that standard. I have done quite a number of maximal lifts that 99%...
