Road to an 800+ LB Squat: My 12-Week Powerlifting Meet Prep Breakdown

I wanted to share a break down of one of my meet preps. I often see competitors over complicating the last hand full of weeks leading to a meet. Remember, muscle and strength are built in the off season. The goal of a meet prep is to simply tune into your already build strength and peak your central nervous system to be the most prime it can be come meet day. The goal isn’t to lift the most in training it is to lift the most on the platform.

In the method we use, we combine methods of Brian Carrol’s 10/20/life with conjugate. Not only did we manage to combine two of the most successful training methods out there, but we did it in just THREE WORKOUTS PER WEEK! For those of you who don’t have time to be in the gym 5-7 days a week. Check this program out and try to implement it into your routine!

What I appreciate the most about this program and the way we program, is not only that we see constant progress in strength on meet day. We stay HEALTHY. Anytime you’re taking 800, 900+ pound squats there is of course risk involved. Our goal is to get as strong as possible with minimizing the risk of injury.
