Competition guide

[Daisy May]

Hello.  I need help with selecting weights for my opener, and 2nd attempt.  This is my second time competing in a local event (not a federation).

In Dec, I completed the following:
Squat: 150 lbs, 180, 200
Bench: 90 lbs, 105, 110
Deadlift: 185, 225, 260

I'm 120 lbs, 4'11 tall, female.

I'm currently on my Week 2, B29 cycle.  Doing good so far.  My next meet is on 11 April.  I hope you could give me an advice. Thanks!

Which cycle is that?

B1 #29

First cycle

[Robert Frederick]

I'm not familiar with that cycle.

If you're using one of the cycles here there is a test day or two preceding your competition date. On those tests you see what you've got by that point in your training. You can then use those numbers to help plan your competition attempts since there shouldn't be much variation from the test days to the competition.

I'm not sure if the cycles you are using are set up that way or not but that's how you can do it.

Thank you Robert! 

I should be doing 37, 30, 31 plan! 

I'm using the older version of the Sheiko program I downloaded from my android phone.

You should start a log here, I would love to follow along! (Also 120lbs, 4'11" female.... ) I'd love to observe how your training days go up to your meet.

Thanks Spatz! Will do!

Robert, should I add deficit deadlifts?

And what can I substitute for good morning?  My form is not good with good mornings.

[Robert Frederick]

I couldn't say for sure about the deficit deadlifts. Start a log and post some videos.

You could do hyperextensions and reverse hypers if possible instead of good mornings.
