Some other good tips: 1. Read the organization's rule book. USAPL and USPA in my opinion are the best in the USA. Know the commands. Read the book again. 2. Attend a local meet to see how things go before you even enter one. Help out one of your friends who's competing there with small things, like getting them water or food or cheer them on, or sit in the audience and take notes tracking how long it is for a lifter between attempts. 3. When you do enter a meet, read the social media posts that the meet directors send out (FB page, emails, etc.). You'll probably have a gazillion questions, and the meet directors usually answer all or most of them in their periodic posts/emails.

This is one of the more informative videos I have seen in a while. So much implementable information.

Solid advice, thank you, Alan.

yeah my first meet was horrible performance wise compared to what I expected.. missed all bench attempts, 1 squat attempt and 1 deadlift attempt... but I learned a lot from it and my 2nd meet I went 9/9 and did pretty great... I see the first meet as just a learning experience for the 2nd one

Solid advice, as always. Thanks for the tips!

Please do one of these for a Strongman meet. I'm looking to do my first Strongman this summer and this would be extremely helpful.

Wish there were more meets in my area! There's one later this month and I'm going to scope it out. Plan is to enter next year. Great info for when the day comes, thank you!

Loved this. Thanks Alan

Thanks. I'll be doing the GGC for the second time in May, and I'm pretty excited to see what I can do!

I’ve already been to 4 meets and I’m here for Alan’s knowledge anyway

That bench tip was super helpful. I sometimes get too far away from the J hooks and make unracking half a work out.

In my first powerlifting meet, I was too shy to jump in and start warming up and the next thing I knew they called my name on the platform. I did my first competition power lift (a state record) with zero warm up.

I was 67 in my first meet, the records at that age are not that impressive. You don’t have to be strong when you are 65 plus, you just have to be a survivor.

Did my first meet in december, did 9/9. My approach was to start with my PBs from september (last test before the competition) and yeah, last deadlift felt I had 5kgs more in the tank, but overall, I was really happy about my weight selection, ended up with 190/112.5/220.

Thanks dude. Helpful video.

Hi Benjamin. Stop considering and sign up. If you are into powerlifting, you are going to love it. You are going to learn a ton about yourself. I know the whole thing might seem intimidating, but I'd be more scared about regretting not doing a meet in the future. Go for it, Benjamin. You got nothing to lose and a lot to lift ;) Stay strong 💪

Any tips for first bench only meet?

Great advice! For sure bring lots of food or snacks (things that won’t bloat you or cause you to feel anything other than full) personally, a big ass stack of pancakes does the trick 😬

I experienced that fatigue when I started warming up deadlifts in my meet. Made the last minute decision to pull sumo instead of conventional and it paid off big time.

i have my first meet at the end of may, all good things to think about. thanks Alan.

3rd yay

Alan those are very deep squats.

Wow! Using kilograms instead of pounds. That's a huge step in the right direction!

Don’t forget to bring the snow explode. You won’t need much warm up

Yeah training has to go down in volume before a meet ..lol

Hey I think Alan has the same combo rack as me

Eat plenty of fiber. Poop before the meet. Bring your own chalk.

Alan! How do I get legs like yours? Your quads and calves are fucking insane.

Hey why Alan stopped doing powerlifting?

What kind of rack is that?

Alan, what's your squat all time PR?
