I am considering entering my first meet in early November or at least treating that time frame as a mock meet for the experience of preparing for one. I have a few questions.
Since october I have been using 531, prior to that very litte barbell experience. Since that time I have yet to stall or have to re calculate my max on a given lift in order to take a step back. At this point my true maxes are much higher than the percentages I am working off of. This is not a complaint, I am making steady progress and I am in a good groove. If I didnt have an interest in trying to peak, I would just keep getting strong doing what I am doing. My question is now that I have an interest in peaking during a certain time frame should I consider doing something different? Thanks for any thoughts and advice.. I hope this doesnt fall under "things are going so well help me screw it up."
