so in the meantime hop on a deficit and strength train (make sure to eat enough protein)

naw for sure, i've dropped around 9 lbs in a month, my sport is powerlifting so my recovery and strength training is basically all I do

as of my most recent comp,
d: 455
b: 220
s: 380

I failed 480 on my last attempt for deadlift but it was only because my left leg moved, minus that I 100% could've hit 475 and have another comp this upcoming week

yeah i wasn't at my peak either since I had been barely eating all week to make sure I made weight, went from 205 to 196 and had to get used to eating normally again, so my body wasn't as strong as itd normally be

losing almost 10 lbs in a week, that was not a good clean water cut. basically just r**ed ur strength.

for ur next meet, do NOT repeat that shi. eat normally and if u need to make weight: water-load early week. u can do small water/sodium manipulation late. u want your CNS sharp.

well they don't test everyone it's just based on how well you do if they test you, but peptides, steroids, those sorts of things are banned by the powerlifting association

ooooooooh, that's way less bad, but still not great. like 2-2.5 lbs a week. either way ur ceiling is def still at least a lil bit higher than what showed up on the platform. ur one good peaking cycle away from a nasty total, just gotta optimize how ur strength expressed on meet day.

lowk not much you could do except for leaning out, and just shaving the virgin stache and that goatee cuz shit looks atrocious

For sure, I just got my own lever belt and knee sleeves as well, I wasn't able to use them at my last meet since I didn't have them yet, now I can
