Meet Prep Workout Log

[Gain Train]

I'm already 5 weeks into my meet prep and I'm a total of 6 weeks out from my meet but I figured i'd try my best to keep up with this log for the remainder of my meet prep.
Current Split:
Day: Compound movement focus & Secondary focused Movement

• Monday: Squat & SSB Squat
• Wednesday: Bench Press
• Thursday: Deadlift & Speed Squats
• Saturday/Sunday: OHP & Close Grip Bench

Stats Pre-training cycle:

• Squat: 700lbs
• Bench: 350lbs Paused & 385lbs T.A.G.
• Deadlift: 585lbs

Recent Training Cycle PRs

• Squat: 620lbs x 3
• Bench: 380lbs x 3 T.A.G.
• Deadlift: 635lbs

Stats and Details:
This will be a Raw powerlifting competition
I've never devoted time to training deadlift thus explaining my atrocious max compared to my squat haha but I've got a great crew I'm working with. As my technique and comfort with deadlifts grow, I'm expecting some big PR's on my deadlift.
5'11 - 6' (on a good day or with running shoes)
BW: 270lbs as of this morning
I finished a Test E & Tren E cycle two weeks before this training cycle and am past my PCT, so for this prep I will not be running any AAS as I'm giving myself some time off before my next cycle that I'm stocking up for. Although I'm currently running Clen.

Meet Goals:

• Squat: 700lbs - 725lbs
• Bench: 380lbs - 400lbs
• Deadlift: 650lbs - 675lbs

Good luck to anyone else on their meet prep!

1/4 natty 700lb squat is pretty impressive. As far as I know there's only one other person on this board with a squat that high.

Is this your first meet? Seems like I remember you saying you had a background in sports, football, I think? I'd be surprised if you don't have the highest total at that meet. Low to mid 1700's is the highest I've seen at the three meets I've attended.

Yeah ive lost count of how many meets I've done, been powerlifting since freshmen year of highschool. I definitely won't have the highest total at my meet, all of my crew will be competing with me and they all have similar numbers to mine so it should be interesting

Gear shipped on Monday so I'm expecting to receive it either monday this week or any of the following days. I'm still wrestling with whether to start my cycle once I've gotten it and use it through my meet prep and the few weeks following, or to save it for after my meet when I start cutting..... not sure yet but I only have a few days to decide
Coming up this week will be some heavy ass lifts and its probably going to be the hardest week out of this entire prep after coming off of a deload. Program is set for 615lbs x 2 and 515lbs 4 sets of 3 for tomorrow's squat workout needless to say is gonna be hard as hell! The focus is mostly to continue growing in Squat as it accounts for the majority of my total, then I will be doing lots of block pulls and deficit pulls, and trying to get my bench to grow thus making me a more complete powerlifter and I will be another step closer to being the best in the world.

Worst shit that could've happened, happened. I ordered from a new domestic source that my buds at the gym speak highly of, they got good prices and respond relatively quickly to questions that I've had. I was given a tracking number and was supposed to receive my order in the mail last Thursday, the 23rd of February. It was marked as "delivered" and I checked the mail box multiple days in a row, my package no where to be found. Went to the post office to see if they had it and often times they just have me pick it up, but it wasn't there. The post office issued a paper for the mail man to check if my package had been put in the wrong mailbox and they would place it in my mailbox so I can pick it up, but they were unable to find it. So all the post office could do was tell me it was more than likely that whoever the person is who got my package on accident decided to keep it. So some jack ass in my community has my stuff and they haven't brought it to me. I issued a post on the neighborhood app that someone has my stuff and to please bring it back to me as this happens very often but have yet to get a response, so now I just gotta hope this source believes my extremely unlucky story and re-sends me my stuff. What also sucks is last time the post office fucked up a shipment of mine, they sent it to a different neighborhood a few miles away so my package may not even be in my community, it could be anywhere! Fuck me, right?!
