My first powerlifting meet is about 10 1/2 weeks from now, and I'm looking for a little advice on structuring this training block. My thought was to implement higher volume and weak point training up until about 5 weeks out. At that time, I would start cutting out assistance work, and trading volume for triples and doubles. Around 2 weeks out, I would jack the volume up (add another two or three working sets to all lifts) while staying around 90%, and then take the week off leading into the meet. My training schedule is M/W/F/Sat

Thoughts?

p.s. sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong area. I'm new here.

Quick block template- a classic approach

Working backwards

Week of meet is a deload. You can if feeling good hit 65% of opener for a triple on each lift Monday that week.

2 weeks - second attempts

3 weeks - set your opener with a max effort triple on squat and bench and deadlift @9

4 weeks deload

Weeks 5 and 6 almost double the volume of the previous block

7 thru 10 volume accumulation- just train. Practice your competition lifts but nothing less that triples.
