Expecting to be back home tomorrow. Looking forward to getting back at it. Only 3 weeks left to get my training numbers figured out for meet prep.
What a month August has been...it is one I will remember for sure. Messed up my plans for PL but I will find a way to pull it off. My meet is Nov 21 so it will be a 10 week prep.
Start blast in a week, and will be running
Test 300mg E3D
Proviron 50mg day
Halo 20mg every Peak/Amrap day (1xweek)
Anavar 60mg day the last 7 weeks. A long run with it but we will see.

Work got in the way today but was at least able to squeeze in my DL Amraps at least so I can get my number for prep.
Deadlift I am still rocking Sumo
135x5
225x3
315x3
365x3
415x3x3
415x1 this was to be my amrap set, I bought a limited edition smelling salt advertised as competition use only. It liberally blew my damn head off, like a bullet to the brain. So threw me off big time, and being honest probably only would have had x4ish in me today. Dropped weight a tad.....
405x6
480 will be my number for DL to plan start of prep.

Might have a problem.
Was 215lbs 2 weeks ago and I am 220 today. I am competing at 220 so this is not great news.
Yes I burned a ton of calories while deployed, but also ate a bunch too in camp. I can maybe just maybe chalk this up as a fluke but have a nagging feeling it isnt.
Cant cut 2 weeks out from a 10 week prep. I think warch3my cals for the next couple weeks, do some LISS cardio and see where I am at start of prep. Started blast Wednesday 300mg e3d so gonna start having water weigh too which can be cut week before meet
Just rambling not happy with scale

Having thoughts since weigh in yesterday. Basically questioning if I should even do the meet in November.
I dont really want to compete at 242 and being I am already 220, started blast (300mg e3d equates to closer to 700 a week average) expect a huge water/muscle gain.
I really wish the summer didn't go the way it did. Had my meet not been postponed then this summer wouldn't have mattered. My life is stupid busy right now, firefighting, work, home life, helping a buddy reno his house, gym, its stupid.
As far as I see I have the following options
1. Compete and dont worry about weight. If its 242 its 242. Issues be need bigger singlet, turnout gear, clothes, and not super healthy. Not to mention no records likely in reach.
2. Drop out of meet, stop blast, stop prep, and just work on getting BW down to 200 slowly while maintaining strength. Issues, I really want to get 1st meet done, I feel I need this blast, I dont want to be nor like being a quiter.
3. Find a way to maintain throughout or drop some in the next couple weeks and push through trying to stay at 220. Issues, strength loss or slower increase, less likely to hit records, added stress on weight control, may have to consider Tren A and daily pins and dropping test dose for last month, means ed pins and all the sides.
I am fairly new to PL and dont know alot about it. @Perrin Aybara has been awesome and instrumental in helping me in this journey and rely on him lots and dont want to let him, you folks, or myself down but I am lost as to the right answer here.

I would personally recommend just doing the meet yet and going in at whatever weight. Being your 1st meet, you're probably going to fuck something up anyways. It just happens to most of us. Lol. At least this way you'll be able to get used to the competition atmosphere so next time around you can more confidently have a good meet.
Btcowboy

Thanks, and yeah as much as I dont want the weight gain or compete that heavy it is the one option I am leaning the most towards. I could go oral crazy on it lol, kidding..... I respect all you guys that compete and definitely take your advice and options to heart
Brandaddy

Yeah. I'm not saying for a fact you would bomb any lifts. But if you're within 50-100lbs of the record you're trying to beat, that gap can be closed pretty fast with a couple red lights on your 2nd or 3rd attempts if you've never competed before. Not sure how close to or above the record your gym lifts are ATM? But yeah, basically what I'm getting at is you might stress yourself going through an intense prep just to get red lighted on some lifts and not even reach your goal. But at the same time you won't know until you do a meet, so you might as well just have a fun day and go in all fucking fat and sassy and see if you can hit a PR or two. Even if you don't, at least you had valid excuses.

Yeah. I'd definitely still do the meet then but probably forget about the records until the next one. Depth can get a lot of people on squats, your ass coming even an 1/8" off the bench gets most people on their bench, and then after a long day competing most people their first time around will be a bit shy of their gym deadlift PR. Which reminds me, make sure you have plenty of easily digestible food on hand.

This is the way. Just go compete, weight loss can happen later. If you try cutting your not going to perform well. Just get out there and compete. My first meet was a great learning experience and now after 5 meets and 3 weight cuts I feel like I’m starting to get the hang of it. You’re not going to knock it out the park on the first at bat.
Btcowboy

As @Brandaddy says Fat and Sassy lol time to embrace the pudge
That's a crazy difference between those weight classes.
Can totally see why you would want to compete at 220
But @Brandaddy and @Worf make great points.
I'm sure you'll kill those records on your next meet once you've gone through the whole experience and dialed in accordingly
