Doing 5/3/1?

Looks like it!

I thought the weights was in kg.

@dan
Correct. With periodization.

@Pedro
That's the goal. But for that I'll need to suit up which i'm not ready for yet heh.

care to be more specific?

it's an event where fellow powerlifters meetup to make new PRs or break records. lifts/pulls are tested in the following order; squat, bench, deadlift. the powerlifters are split into different weight groups and whether or not they lift raw. 3 judges are present to determine the technical side of the lifts such as squat depth before a lift is considered successful.

......
i know what is a powerlifting meet. what i meant was more to the lines of where? when? who?

you weren't clear with your earlier response. anyway, there are different leagues here in calgary, canada ie. those that juice and those that don't. i'm aiming to be competetive by next year and it's going to be with a bunch of other powerlifters around canada.

Oh cool you're in canada! Thought there was a local meet, got me excited for a minute there zz

are there actually any local ones available that you've heard of in the past?

not really. thats why i asked you when u said u were training for a meet.
