30 Seconds Summary5 Simple Tips For Managing Your Meet Day
- Prepare a meet day checklist including all necessary items such as specific shoes for lifts, singlet, belt, and lifting aids (e.g., chalk, tape, squat suits, wraps) along with medications or personal care items like muscle rubs.
- Choose your attempts strategically, starting with an opener at roughly 90% of your best clean training lift, moving to second attempts between 95-100% based on the opener's success, and deciding third attempts based on total goals or potential PRs.
- Plan warm-ups effectively by allocating appropriate time per lifter in your flight and counting backwards from your attempt to schedule warm-ups, adjusting for the number of competitors and equipment used.
- Maintain energy throughout the day by eating well, opting for meals like peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwiches to provide sustained energy without spiking insulin levels.
- Be friendly and engage with others at the meet, offering help and introducing yourself, as the spirit of camaraderie can lead to long-lasting friendships and mutual support in future events.
