Just before warm up I had a can of monster a high performance gel with caffeine and a high energy bar. I was absolutely raging bouncing about Sweating all sorts going on. My squats were all good bench good though I missed my third As I went back in to warm up room for the deads I just died my energy crashed my warm ups felt terrible only just managed to get my opener 190 failed my second at this point I said to my coach I'd had enough. Good points my pb's bad point the sugar crash Squat 150 160 172.5 comp bp Bech press 100 110 comp pb 115 fail Deadlift 190 2to1 lost balance and stepped forward 205 fail 3rd lift pass Total 472.5 comp pb | ||

My first comp I had a similar experience with energy rush then sag later in the comp. Managing your energy well would probably see you to a 500 total in your next comp even if you didn't get any stronger. | ||

How much depends you take before lifting depends a bit on what you are used to. I drink 6- cups of tea a day, not particularly strong and often take a pre-workout before heavy sessions of 200-250mg, therefore on comp days I try and take the same. If I flag I can always take another 200-250 mills before deads. Another school of thought would be to take even less before lifting, as adrenaline/nerves/warm up should already be raising your heart rate significantly, and then takes some caffeine as you tire. 2) Make sure you stay properly hydrated through the day. It is easy to get a bit dehydrated as you overheat through a combination of nerves and stuff. 3) Unless you have a situation where you weigh in early say 10 and lift late try and maintain your energy through snacks (flapjack/ slow release carb-type bars, nuts etc) rather than anything requiring too much digestion. Also avoid mars bars, sugary energy drinks (most of them really) before lifting, though they can prove a temporary boost. These are just things I try to keep in mind. Everyone has their own which works to varying degrees. I am sure the guys you lift with are a mine of information on these things. | ||
