First time in any forum let alone at SF, I Was hoping I could gain some knowledge from those in the forum. First general info, I am 37 years old and work in the oil and gas industry in Bakersfield, Ca while attending a local JC full time. Former wrestler, and have been training/competing in jiu-jitsu for 15 years, strength training since ‘1997 mostly powerlifting style programs with high volume/frequency chin ups and back extensions.
Due to work, family and school I need to put jiu jitsu training on pause for a while. So to scratch my competitive itch (the need for a comp. date on the calendar) I am thinking about competing in powerlifting, specifically the United States Powerlifting Association sub-masters drug tested division at 181lbs in the Bench Press/Deadlift category. I apologize for the rambling, finally to my questions.
1. How should I set up a weekly training schedule for Push/Pull comps?
2. How often should I squat for Push/Pull, if at all?
3. Should I drop the squat all together?
4. If the squat is dropped will I create imbalances/ unintended injuries?
