I found this super helpful, watched it about 3x. 0.o If anyone is wondering what percent hes suggesting for warm-ups, on squat its: ~ 40%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% Bench: ~ 40%, 55%, 75%, 85%, 92% and Deadlifts: 135lbs, 55%, 75%, 85%
I just wanna say thank you for this guide. Just attended my first meet and having watched the video right before I went really conservative on all openers and felt well prepared for the whole thing. Got 9/9 with only one red light on the first bench and PRs in all three lifts. Very good guide, listen to it guys!
watching this while eating chicken nuggets on that #massing life. Also I don't know if Chad is the one controlling the JTS youtube account but he gave me some cues at the New York powerlifting seminar for my deadlift that has helped tremendously, couldn't thank him enough.
damn early enough there isn't HD yet, very interested in the tips this video has in store, I've competed before, but I'm competing in Collegiate nationals in about 6 weeks so this is still gonna be a worthwhile watch
Could you guys do an episode of Squat School with the low bar squat? I feel like my knees aren't coming forward enough, and id like to see what you guys have to say about ankle flexion in lowbar
great job. was actually thinking about doing my 1st meet this year. One of my friends contacted me about doing one the same time you guys posted this video.
I'm wanting to go to my first competition in the next 6 months. My strength is deadlift but I never use a belt for anything. Is a belt actually required?
Can you make one for weightlifting as well please? I know that the videos would be similar, but I think that the insight could be super helpful for both sports individually and a lot of people would thank you for it!
I’m 10 pounds over my weight limit and just now finding out that weigh ins for USAPL are on the same day, I’m doomed. I’ve done a couple USPA competitions so I’ve gotten used to the process of doing water cuts
Really Really helpful video All questions are coming in the mind this man give all the answers and additional information Superb information Thanks you sir
Hi there i have my first meeting in 2 weeks time I’m so nervous 😬 and I was told to cut weight . Now that u said for first meeting not to cut weight now I kinda regret bcoz I don’t know if I lost strength or what it is
Are only certain brands of equipment allowed at a powerlifting meet depending on federation? Like Inzer and Titan? Or as long as my equipment meets the measurement standards it's allowed?
@@StrongButAwkward key is follow your regular routine. If you normally do preworkout then go for it before you warm up. Nothing new that will throw you off. Good luck
Thanks for taking the time to make all these great videos. They are hugely helpful. Meet question: 24 hour weigh in? So you can't travel in one day to a meet and be done?
Wanting to do my first meet I've only been lifting for 8 months and all I have around here is spf wanting to do a good tested federation but I live in arkansas would have to travel for meets 😑
Im a little late to the video, but which fed uses a standard PL bar for S B DL, and which one uses a squat/dl bar? Cause most regular joes and janes competing probably dont have specialty bars available(me), just a regular PowerBar
USAPL/IPF uses the same bar for all 3 lifts. Basically all other use specialty squat and deadlift bars. It's not a big deal though, Chad did most of his training all on a Texas Power Bar and then competed with Squat/Deadlift bars.
I'm 17 and I thinking about going to a PL meet in a few months, I'm 172lbs 6"2 and my deadlift, bench, and squat are 365/255/445 Only one that is 1RM is the 445, will I do okay for my first?
I competed at a local USAPL meet where I was not allowed to use wrist wraps from an unapproved brand. That was 6 years ago, but I would recommend looking up the approved manufacturers just to be safe. USAPL only allows equipment from companies that pay them a kickback.
Do you take any period of time off before coming into a meet? I’ve heard people say anywhere from 3-5 days off from lifting so they come in fresh. Thanks for the video man. Planning my first in 2022.
The time before a meet is called a taper. How that’s handled is different based on how strong you are, how big etc there is more info here ua-cam.com/video/onpnlCNGzlA/v-deo.html

WEEEEEG he's a majestic beast.
My first meet I hit a huge PR on deadlift and got super excited and threw the weight down... I was pretty disappointed in myself haha

Max Dooley thanks
Beard hitting the mic is on point *crikkle crikkle*
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m so nervous about the rules and process for my first meet in a couple months and this helped a lot!
8 weeks out from my first! Rps 148lb teen division. Full power. Raw classic. I’m aiming to beat the state record total which is 770
So how did that go?
If I can squat 215 lbs bench 140 and deadlift 225 and I weigh 120lbs should I even enter. I’m 16.
Yes. If you can lift the bar, you can compete.
i just did my first meet seriously the most motivating thing iv ever done
22:53 that right plate is completely off :|
Very informative video. Thank you!
I have my first meet in two days, and I'm super excited about it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge Chad, these are some really great tips! :D
How’d it go?
can someone like this so i can come back.
Didn’t that one hipster girl make a song about his eyes, ocean eyes?

Can you use suicide grip on the bench in competition?
WOW! AN ACTUAL POWER LIFTING MAN WHO ISN'T TRYING TO PORTRAY THE THUG POWER LIFTER THAT KO GYM IN VENTURA EMULATES!

MrSocialish already filmed it. Just waiting for editing.
Juggernaut Training Systems awesome!
9 days out from my first meet!
Good luck
I know that was 3 years ago but how did it go
can you make one for weightlifting!?
Kiefer Thompson already filmed the first half.
great job. was actually thinking about doing my 1st meet this year. One of my friends contacted me about doing one the same time you guys posted this video.
Great information, delivered in an easy to digest manner. I should really get off my butt and sign up for a meet lol
This was such a great video, so many insightful details. Thank-you!!
I'm wanting to go to my first competition in the next 6 months. My strength is deadlift but I never use a belt for anything. Is a belt actually required?
no, not required. Good luck, have fun.
@zeeess6028 thanks!!
This was very good, and time timing excellent since I have my first meet now this weekend. Cheers!
Thank you Chad and JTS! Being 6 weeks out of my first ever meet (USAPL), this video dropped at an amazing time.
When she was vomiting, I was eating oatmeal
I'm about to get to my 4th meet but always learning. This is amazing information. Thank you
this is awesome
super informative and helpful. roughly 8 weeks out from my first meet!
When you're weight is between 82.5kg or 90kg lol. Eaiser to just cut 5lbs than to gain 11-12lbs.
I’m in the same boat. 😅
What if I am 16-17 age class and I want to register into a meet would I have to get a ID also or do my parents take care of that?
Can you make one for weightlifting as well please? I know that the videos would be similar, but I think that the insight could be super helpful for both sports individually and a lot of people would thank you for it!
zack mason already working on it
Wish I'd had this video before my first meet. Super helpful info, thanks Chad!
10:08 Wow Ethan, great moves, keep it up, proud of you.
I’ll be competing for the first time tomorrow & im clueless. This helped.
Thank you! Extremely helpful and grounding.
thanks so much for this video! really helpful!
Currently getting ready for my first meet!really useful information thank you very much!
Just had my meet last saterday, fucking epic! Don't forget to enjoy the day!
Thank you so much for this awesome video! As someone new to the sport I appreciate it.
Nice video although I have done a powerlifting meet before, I like the education you gave on warm-ups, great advice
Man it isnt about the I'm scard of the first me of weakness but I don't own a coustem
Comprehensive and helpful. Thank you.
If I squat 700, will I be able to grow that beard?
Price Rowland No
Dude your eyes are creepy... Its like your wearing white out zombie contact lenses
My first meet is in a little less than 1.5 month.. hoping to put up a 520 total. Awesome video dude thanks
Good luck!
At 5 weeks out. This couldn't have come at a better time
4 weeks out from my first one ... feel the same way thanks for the content jts; good luck on yours man
2 months out from my first. Little nervous but this video really helped
May i add one. Make sure to empty the tank before you go on..
CHAD: question, train or not to train the same week of the meet?
You definitely want to do some light training during the week of a meet to make sure your technique feels sharp
@@JuggernautTrainingSystems excelent!! Looking fwd to try your app soon
"A shameless plug" lol
goddamn those eyes 👀
Really appreciate this video. My son is doing his first meet in a month and this helps a lot!
Excellent video. You guys are awesome for sharing your experience and putting this together.
This calmed my nerves. Thanks 👌
Great video. Thank you! All the really good points and I will take them all with me to my first powerlifting meet which is in less than a week.
Good luck
First meets tmrw in 15 and pumped up for it hopefully I can get a state title with a fracture/dislocated wrist🙃
Good luck

Absolutely fantastic video, makes me feel more confident already
Red meat like a sirloin the day of or day before a comp? Mine is at 5-8pm So plenty time to eat before but I was thinking going lean

No problem
Are only certain brands of equipment allowed at a powerlifting meet depending on federation? Like Inzer and Titan? Or as long as my equipment meets the measurement standards it's allowed?
Is caffeine along with simple carbs recommended during a meet while waiting between different lifts?
e.g. coffee with some sugar, energy drinks
That can definitely be helpful.
Cool thanks. Just didn't know if too much caffeine early in a comp could lead to sluggishness later.
@@StrongButAwkward key is follow your regular routine. If you normally do preworkout then go for it before you warm up. Nothing new that will throw you off. Good luck

Yak Buchanan definitely. Go for it.
Amazing info! I'm looking to join a federation. I would like to join a raw federation.
I went up in my first or on of my first 3 meets (unsure) after a technicality but it was only because I had the commands down and the weight flew up
I competed at a local USAPL meet where I was not allowed to use wrist wraps from an unapproved brand. That was 6 years ago, but I would recommend looking up the approved manufacturers just to be safe. USAPL only allows equipment from companies that pay them a kickback.
That was an incorrect application of the rule by them. The equipment fees are an IPF thing, not a USAPL thing.

Great content once again
Sorry can you repeat that, your eyes are too stunning
This is a great video!! Very informative. Thank you so much
13 weeks from my first. Thanks for the advice.
This was so useful!
awesome advice I'm 3 months out from my first meet
Great video!
Really informative video - thanks!
very helpful video!
tips about using preworkout?
I'd make sure you've used whatever brand you're planning on 1-2x before so you know how your body reacts to it.
Thank you! What about frequency and timing? Take it once for the whole day or take a little less but use it before warming up for each lift?
Before each lift is probably best.
nothing with 1-3 dimeth :-D
he says your gonna take your opener 5-7 min before your opening attempt ? are the opener not the first attempt ?
Last warmup, 5-7 minutes, then opener.
