Peaking Program VS continuing with BLSS 7 weeks out

[Truebmxer01]

I was just curious what peoples thoughts are when it comes to a new powerlifter and pre meet workouts.. as it said in the title im about 7 weeks out from my 2nd meet. I was wondering if I should just continue progressing with BLSS up until the meet then do my openers at the gym or should I get on a pre meet peaking program? If so what would you suggest? I'm a fairly new lifter and all of my lifts are in my sig.. If anyone's interested the meet ill be competing in is the Old Skool Iron Classic in Vacaville.. Thanks in advance!

Looking at your lifts and also that you are still on BLSS, I would not suggest doing a peaking program, because at this stage of your powerlifting progress, there is no need for it, because you will continue to progress quickly regardless. Work out your openers in the gym, hopefully it goes smoothly.

lifts in lbs or kgs?

u probably dont need to do anything extreme. If the meet is on Saturday then obviously the week of the meet u dont want to be going all out in the gym. U want to be pretty fresh for the meet. U can still do a workout or two that last week as long as u arent killing yourself. Just something like working up to 70-80 for a few reps or whatever

The old timey advice is probably still pretty good for most people. Last heavy deadlift session no closer than 10 days to the meet. Last heavy squat and bench at least 7 days away from meet etc
