They'll let you figure out your monolift settings before the meet if you get there during weigh ins. That's what they did at the SPF meet I attended.
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up.
as @Johnny442 said, they figure out squat and bench settings when you weigh in the day before. for hand offs and knee wrapping. find someone that isnt in your flight to do them or ask someone elses handler to help.
bring gatorade, powerade, or pedialyte. BCAAs helped me this last meet which was something new that was suggested. sip on those throughout the day. if you drink TOO much water youre flushing nutrients out too fast and your cramp. not enough and you dehydrate and cramp. Bananas, salted pretzels are good. eat whatever carbs you normally eat. i like oatmeal cause its super easy to make, eat and digest for me. dont introduce anything new to your system day of the meet. focus should be on liquids, carbs, sodium intake with a little protein sprinkled in.
only other pointers i have is stay mentally in it, NO MATTER WHAT. i didnt mention this in my log because having it happen and reliving in through typing it out are two separate things. story time...
so i set my openers 4 weeks out(1x3 @9RPE), 3 weeks out i went back over my openers (3sets of 1), 2 weeks out i did second attempts....
so the week i went back over my opners (3 sets 1 rep) squats and bench went great. deadlifts went horrible. first set felt like garbage and moved like crap. the third set i actually passed out after completing the lift. set the rep down and was pissed at how hard it was. quickly went over to take the collar off and next thing i know im on the ground. never had that happen before so i lightweight bugged out a bit. after talking to my coach and another couple guys, we figured it was because i took my breath into my chest and not my stomach. i didnt deadlift the next week and the week of the meet i did my normal 65% of my openers for 3 sets of 1 rep. at the meet when it came time to deadlift i was a tad worried. i got my head out of my ass and set straight. went on to hit an all time PR, and almost deadlift 690 which would have been a 60lb plus meet PR on my third attempt
Fucking awesome. I've had that light headed feeling of passing out. But I've fixed it pretty fast.
@Perrin Aybara I read in your thread I think that you ran Var with drol at one point. What was the doses of both that you ran? How did you feel strength wise?
No, i haven't yet, but I'm thinking about it as they both give me great strength gains. Was thinking of 50/50.

I ran some anavar last summer and I was surprised at the strength it gave me. Interested in how mixing the two turns out.
I am interested as well.

4 weeks out from 1st meet. Once I got to 465 I belted up and started using wraps.
Comp Squat:
145 1x10
235 1x5
325 1x5
375 1x5
415 1x3
465 4x3 RPE 8
505 1X3 RPE 8.5
525 1X3 RPE 9
I feel fucking great. I know the switch from training at 4:30 am to mid day, makes a huge difference. I can fuel my body better and have better recovery periods.

I foget to put my weight.

Good work! Fatigued me reading it!
I'm going sleep like a baby tonight. Once I dropped down to 315 on deads I was so tired. I wanted to do 1 set of 10. But I didn't have it in me to rep it out like that. But 315 was flying off the floor.
I've almost passed out at least a dozen times now deadlifting. I get light headed
I've come close a few times as well.

Found an awesome Chiro. Week of the meet my body will be getting some nice work to it. Between Chiro Physical therapy and ultrasound for shoulders and elbows and lots of mobility work. My mobility has improved dramatically since December 2016.
