June is far enough you could diet if you would like to trim a little fat, but I would not advise trying to orchestrate a watercut for a first meet, or in general really. Getting smaller doesn’t help you get stronger at all, so even if you just stayed 230 to me it makes sense to sign up for 242. Do not worry about being competitive - that is just who shows up. I have seen 181 raw lifters outlift the entire meet, even the heavyweights.As I mentioned in your thread @Hyde I'm giving some serious thought to signing up for the SPF meet in June. I've talked about it before but I think I just need to jump in this time.
I assume I will need to pick a weight class when signing up? Or can that be done at weigh in? I'm sitting around 230 right now and feel like I might be able to get somewhat respectable numbers in 220, but would not be very competitive in 242. Being in the middle, and probably around 20%BF, I'm leaning towards dropping to 220. I think the test and primo would help me hang onto some strength while cutting down a bit.
I've never tried to make weight or peak so this is wholly new territory.
DO IT!!!
