One Month till my first Raw Powerlifting Competition

[JBich]

I'm 83 kg. (178-182 lbs.) and I'm gonna have my FIRST Raw Powerlifting Competition (yes, it was last minute) in exactly one month.
I can bench 205 for 5, deadlift 225 for 5, and i'm not even sure what my max squat is (I hit 385 for 5 before, 90 degree squats)

I'm not a strong person, I have been bodybuilding my entire life in the gym (over 8 months) and I just saw interest in powerlifting lately.
I believe I have potential to give throw in some good attempts (hopefully?) if the program (which is still to be given to me by my coach) works well for me.

But usually bodybuilding.com gives the best advice, what advice can you guys gives me? (For stronger lifts, safer lifts, and a faster increase in strength.. 1 month HAHA)

Thanks buddies!

get in a powerlifting gym and learn from people that have proven to know what they're doing. start training with some boards, bands and chains.

good luck

If you'd rather take training advice from random people on the internet instead of your coach, get a new coach.

He said "90 degree" squats, which I assume means the top of his thighs were 90 degrees from the floor.

Just started deadlifting or super high squats :P I was the same when I was 18.

Believe it or not there are people who are better off taking advice from people on internet forums. Most of the people in this section are very informed and there are quite a few elite lifters. So if he's gonna solicit advice from an internet forum he picked a damn good place to do it.

Yeah, something here doesn't add up. It might have to do with the bottom of his hamstrings being 90 degrees.

Yeah that's right, I tried doing ass-to-grass squats and I was able to do 205 for 5

Take vids and post them up so the guys on this forum can tell you what to fix for the meet. Is the meet with an actual fed or is it a high school meet?

it's an official powerlifting association :O
okay i will do that.

With a month out, apart from some technique stuff, i would say the best thing you can do for yourself is read the rule book, and practice all your lifts with the commands in your head. when you read the rule book you'll know what the commands are.

Since its an actual fed I highly recommend posting up lift vids.

Will do.

Rule books are generally found on the Feds website. If they have a ******** page ask around there.
