🔴⚪🔵 TIP TUESDAY – BREAK IN YOUR MEET GEAR 🔴⚪🔵

Don’t let meet day be the first time you use your equipment.

Before competition, make sure you’ve trained in:
✅ Your singlet
✅ Belt
✅ Knee sleeves or wraps
✅ Wrist wraps
✅ Deadlift socks
✅ Shoes you’ll compete in

Small changes in equipment can affect your setup, balance, bar path, and confidence.

The more familiar your gear feels, the more you can focus on what really matters—making successful lifts.

Meet day should never be a test of your equipment. It should be a test of your strength.

Train how you plan to compete.

🔴⚪🔵 TIP TUESDAY — STAY WITH THE BAR 🔴⚪🔵

One of the easiest ways to earn white lights?

🏋️ Finish every lift under control.

Don’t rush to celebrate before the lift is complete.

✅ Lock the weight out.
✅ Stay in control.
✅ Wait for the judges’s command.
✅ Finish the lift before celebrating.

Many good lifts turn into red lights simply because the lifter loses focus at the very end.

The platform rewards strength and discipline.

Complete the lift.
Listen for the command.
Then celebrate.

I've never wanted to choose between being strong, looking strong, and moving well. 💪

Since I first started lifting, my goal has always been simple: look like a bodybuilder, have the strength of a powerlifter, and stay athletic. 👑

It's a balancing act. Chasing size while pushing numbers that most people never will—and still being able to move, perform, and stay healthy—isn't the easiest path. There are times I'm leaner than I'd like, times I'm fluffier than I'd like, and times the scale or the mirror messes with my head. But every phase has a purpose. 🔥

Right now I'm somewhere in the middle... kinda lean, kinda thicc. 😂

Every workout, every meal, every early morning, and every setback is building toward that vision. I'm not trying to be the leanest guy in the room or just the strongest. I want to build a physique that looks like a bodybuilder, has the strength of a powerlifter, and keeps the athleticism to perform at a high level. 😈

The work isn't finished—not even close—but I'm proud of the progress. 💯

The goal is always to be bigger, stronger, leaner, and more athletic than I was yesterday. 💪🔥 taken in Anytime Fitness Quincy, IL by @uspc.iowa

⚪ TIP TUESDAY — KNOW YOUR ATTEMPTS ⚪

One of the easiest ways to have a successful meet?

🏋️ Have a plan before you step on the platform.

Before meet day, know:
✅ All attempts in the USPC are in 1 KG increments
✅ Your opener
✅ Your second attempt
✅ A realistic third attempt

A successful first attempt builds confidence and keeps you in the meet.

Don’t let your ego choose your opener.
Let your preparation choose it.

Train with a plan.
Compete with a plan.
