The meet selection around here sucks ass. The best I can do for a full meet is December but I want one sooner so theres a push pull in october Im thinking of doing. Even though squats are my favorite, I think I might try it. Would be interesting to see what I could manage in focusing on bench and deadlift without being fatigued by the squat.
Any input?

Do both. Smash a nice new PR for deadlift and bench then u have time to recover and do a full meet in December.

Thats probably what Ill do. Really want a full meet to get a 1600 total. Been my goal for this year. But giving a good boost to my press and pull could probably help get that.

Do it! I have done a push/pull and like you, it killed me to leave my best lift on the table. In all, if that's all that offered and you have a decent DL and time to work on it, you will crush your best DL to date.

If you're competing full power in december, but want to do the October meet, I'd go bench only in October and concentrate on the december meet. Bench only is only slightly more gay than push/pull.

Glad to hear it.

For some reason this one is Push Pull only. They were actually very specific in saying that for some reason. But at least its USPA so my new membership wont be wasted.
