Thinking about entering a power lifting competition.
Anyone with experience got any tips? Particularly, women in their mid-40s/perimenopausal lifters. 💦💦

SBD Day
After 18 weeks of Bullmastiff, and without a deload (because I'm going on holiday), I tested my 1RMs this morning.
End of March I hit 130/92/155 kg (287/203/342 lb), though the 130 squat was probably parallel at best and the DL was way down on my year-ago strength (when I hit 170 kg/375 lb).
It started well with 145 kg (320 lb) squat, properly below parallel. 2 cm above parallel it's easy, and I think with more ATG pause I can +10 kg easily.

Today was 3x2+x125 kg (276 lb) on squats, which is just 5 kg shy of my 1RM from March 30th.
I got 9 'reps', but I've been worried that my attempts to go below parallel and no further were not deep enough for a #powerlifting comp. (My 1RM was, my PL coach was there!)
I filmed the top set and did some posture analysis and concluded that they're not, by ~2–4 cm. I'm going to let the 9 stand for the purpose of setting next week's weight, but so a smidge better next time.

Few things are calling to me at the age of 42..
* #ModelTrains - I want to turn my back yard into garden train. Landscape around the tracks, weave it through the ...
* #Gardening - I want to grow SO much in our suburban back yard. I'm able to .. there are no real rules against it in our HOA .. I just havent pulled the trigger. Well, thats a lie. I planted a ton of seed starters this year. One of our cats .. or multiple .. climbed into the grow tent and destroyed all of them. I'd also like to return a lot of our grass to native grasses, pollinator plants, etc.
* #SmokedMeat - I want to find a good entry level smoker and start smoking meats. I figure this'd be a good investment and help with meal prep and stuff! Or that's my excuse :P
* #Blogging - I'd love to write .. something. I honestly just dont know what to write about.
* The most off the wall one .. #PowerLifting .. I can throw around a lot of weight. I want to lift more and learn to do it right.Getting older .. Figuring it out ..

Leakage, heaviness, hip/pelvic pain when you lift? It's common; but it isn't normal.

I had my first #powerlifting competition on Friday (or "Kraftdreikampf" in German)
It was held at TU Berlin which also runs the student gym I usually go to so it was all in a familiar space.
My attempts were:
Squat: 110kg, 112.5kg, 115kg (all successful)
Bench Press: 65kg, 67.5kg, 70kg (failed the last one)
Deadlift: 155kg, 157.5 kg, 160kg (all successful)
For a total lifted weight of 342.5kg and a bodyweight-adjusted DOTS score of 297.6 for 4th place among 10 women.
