First Contest

ALLRIPPEDUP · Nov 24, 2008

Bros, I am going in my first power lifting contest on 12/7. I am 50 and feeling pretty good. Just going to do the dead lift (sumo style). Any suggestions for contest prep? Day of, etc...?

Thanks!

Great news man. Lots of luck. also if you have any questions about gear and all that stuff, you should suggest stuff so people can give opinions since we are not allowed to 'recommend' the usage of AAS.

I heard a lot of powerlifters like to load on suspension 3 days before the meet .... I also heard, eating as much, and whatever you want, the entire week before the show helps ... and the last thing I heard was that "Metal" makes a great sumo deadlift suit.

Thanks Bros. I'm pretty natural right now, just methyltest but would like to go on gear. I will definitely take your advice if/when I do.

I like the eating suggestion!

I've heard of people taking 30 Stenox tabs on contest day.

3 more days. Can't wait!

Hey Bros,

I ended up doing a personal best. 413.5 at age 50. I know it's not much weight for most of you powerlifters out there but I'll take it for now. I've got the bug now and a strong desire to train hard to increase my strength. Maybe another contest in March or April. Looking forward to more advice from you guys who know out there. Thanks for your support.

thats 30 stenox and 20 5mg anabol ontop of 100mg methyltest before the first lift of each. by the 45min mark of the third attempt the methyl was at full pop just a fyi, cheques at one single drop worked well, but a full cc or more just fucked my head up.

Great Job...Your first meet is always the hardest. Now you know what to expect. Train hard and be consistent and you will only get stronger. By the way, what weight class are you in?

Nice pull. What did you weigh in at? I've been to many contest that had tons of masters lifter there. It's great to see and it lets the younger guys know that that can keep competing for many years.
