You're going to wreck it.

Just saw this! Awesome!.....I think you will find you really enjoy it. I think it is your calling

I dont know a lot, but I listened to the guys here with regards to 'prepping'. You do quite a bit of volume. Gonna need to back off a little for sure leading up to the event. FWIW, I did not lift AT ALL a week out from my meet.

Best of luck....but you dont need it!

I'm planning on competing in my first PL event in October. I have a few more weeks before I start getting nervous and excited. Check out this article that Mini Forklift posted in the other forum. I've looked at it three times. Good bathroom reading material.

I see you have a training journal, so I'll definitely be following it. Good luck on your preparation!

**** yeah

Have fun big man

Have fun, man. Nobody breaks records their first meet.

Set realistic goals, learn the commands, and take the time to talk to other lifters at the meet. You have no idea how many good garage gyms are in the area until you go to a local meet and everyone comes out of the woodwork.

Thanks man.

I watched some youtube vids today on the commands and I'm going to practice lifting to them by having Mrs Flex give me the commands in the gym.

It's my first meet so I am not expecting the world. Going to learn the ropes, so to speak.

And unfortunately it's not local; I am just west of Toronto in Canada and the meet is in Upstate New York. It's about a 2.5 hour drive for us.

Hopefully next year I will do a meet at my Alma Mater; the University of Toronto, Mississauga Campus.

I missed this year's meet there already.
