Ok so, it's very, very possible that I'm getting far ahead of myself and am being guilty of DTM (doing too much) however; I'm thinking about entering into my first powerlifting meet this fall/winter. The idea is barely a glint in my eye. Keep in mind that I also recently just registered for the Chicago SuperSprint Triathlon for August 24, so its entirely possible that my weights will drop once I start running (ugh), swimming, and biking regularly to prepare for it. I know your first meet is you competing against yourself, but obviously I don't want to put up the lowest numbers in my weight class. Current stats (most recent numbers from this week) Age - 26 Weight - Varies from 165lbs to 171lbs Squat - 5x5 @ 190# Bench - 5/5/4/4/4 @ 175# Deadlift - 1x5 @ 245# So, any advice from those of you who have competed at a meet would be welcomed. Should I do it? Can I do it? Do my current numbers look at all respectable where I won't embarrass myself? And any general advice is appreciated!
