Competition preparation is for a lifter with a meet selected (or a short list) and a clear need to turn training performance into a competition total.

Who this is for

Use it when the main question is no longer whether to compete, but how to arrive technically ready, recovered, and confident in the day itself.

From training block to platform

  1. 1

    Build backward from meet day

    Set the phases, exposures, and recovery windows from a real date.

  2. 2

    Practise competition standards

    Train the commands, depth, pauses, and lockouts that determine whether a lift counts.

  3. 3

    Peak without guessing

    Reduce fatigue while keeping the specific strength and confidence needed for attempts.

  4. 4

    Plan attempts

    Choose openers and decision rules before adrenaline makes the decision for you.

  5. 5

    [PH] Meet-day support

    Draft inclusion: a written run sheet, warm-up timing, opener review, and remote attempt guidance. In-person handling is not included unless separately agreed.

What the preparation is designed to create

[PH] 8–16

illustrative weeks in a meet-specific block; actual runway varies

[PH] A calm opener plan, practised commands, and fewer decisions left to adrenaline. Replace this demonstration claim with verified athlete evidence.

Competition prep questions

How far out should meet prep start?

It depends on training age, current readiness, and the event date. The goal session establishes whether there is enough runway and what the first block needs to solve.

Will we practise commands and attempt selection?

Yes. Competition-standard execution and a planned attempt strategy are core parts of turning gym strength into a total.

Is this only for experienced competitors?

No. A separate first-meet pathway places more emphasis on entry, rules, and removing first-day uncertainty.
