Plan a mini meet there if you can. Get a taste for it.

There some strong dudes there (605lb squats). Good to have those guys there to help be it impromptu coaching or just watching what they do.

For sure, I never see stuff like that outside of meets. I rarely see a 225lb squat at my gym.

Well I doubt they do them often but they do them off and on judging by some of the videos.

I’m literally the strongest squatter / puller in my gym, and it sucks. I thrive off other people.

Well I am excited to check it out. Hoping a different atmosphere will go a long way. Even today deadlifting set bar down getting the odd look, fuck em

 

[NovaFlex]

I am working on it, thinking about it non stop, reading, videos, forum, dreaming, lol

When you become obsessed it seems to get easier.

You gotta get out of there. Personally I probably never would have done a meet if I didn’t start lifting at a real powerlifting gym

Friday is the day I go drop in for my work out and talk with the owners and set up membership. I want to see how hard it is to get the rack or the platform at my work out time. Definately going to help out being in a proper gym with proper equipment and atmosphere. Seen they have SSB, so assuming proper DL bar as well.

 

[Worf]

That’s a good start!

 

[Btcowboy]

That’s a good start!

Cant wait, even though membership cost is higher I think I will save money based in less fuel used getting to the other gym

Also decided to keep it simple until I get all the shit ironed out. Back to 531, will get form, and routine set then when progress stalls look at different method. Looking at @Worf s Conjugate method I like that and may consider down the road when I get this set properly

Just be aware that conjugate relies heavily on autoregulation and being able to pin point your weaknesses and blast through them. It’s not really a system you can follow step by step, in an outlined format.

Agreed and way further down the road before I even entertain that.

Decided I don't want to wait until Friday to check out the new gym, so going there today after work. Will at least pay drop in to check it out bit more than likely will sign up today.
