Going to be maxing out in 3 weeks. Any pointers?

Do you guys have any tips or any last minute things i could do before i max out in about 3 weeks???

I will be maxing squat and bench.


Any good, last minute tips for strength to help on my touch-n-go bench???


And do yall have any good meals or anything i can eat before i max?

i have read (and i dont beleive everything that i read) that you want to load up on carbs before a competition... seeing as how a max day would be similar to a competition, you want to load your muscles with stored glycogen (by eating carbs)....

good luck w/your max's...

what are you shooting for? (goals?)

why no deadlift?

On the last week before your maxes do not do any assistance exercises only bench press and squat e.g

Monday
Squat 3 sets of 2 of 90% of your old max
Squat Negs. 1 set of 3 of 120% of your old max
Benchpress 5 sets of 2 of 80% of your old max (you may get the urge to do more coz its light but dont, its like a prime)

Wednesday
Bench 3 sets of 2 of 90% of your old max
Bench Negs. 1 set of 3 of 120% of your old max
Squats 5 sets of 2 of 80% of your old max (you may get the urge to do more coz its light but dont, its like a prime)

Sunday or following Monday
Maxes

idk what i want for bench or squat. i think im going to max raw touch n go bench, and then raw squat and then in a suit.

probably 210-220 for bench.

335-350 for raw squat.

and 435-450 for suited squat.

These were about the same numbers i got last time but i was also 25 pounds heavier.

already got one, i may max on deadlift though, i think i could get 415, on a fresh day, and i didnt even pump my self up on the 405. also before i pulled 405, i pulled 385 which was a new PR.
