660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq		so, according to powerlifters a week off before a comp should make you strong and ready

but a random week off makes you weak and stiff

human body - f**king weird thing Grin

Different strokes for different folks I think. I've never come across a weightlifter that thinks a week off is a good thing, most would do something up to even a couple of days prior to a comp, just to keep moving. Plus, in my advanced years it doesnt take long for everything to sieze up, the strength issue is more down to not eating properly more than a week off..

In short, I am old and s**t!! Grin

305.0 kgs @ 63kgs UnEq		Yep interesting - I've found the same thing as I've migrated from powerlifting to weightlifting. Maybe it is the nature of the lifts. It's harder to get away with lack of mobility in the oly lifts.

I have heard it recommended that weightlifters lay off the heavy pulls though in the week before a comp.

In the last week before a comp (the comp being on the Sat or Sunday), I would go up to starters on both lifts on the Monday followed by a few medium squats, light technique work on the Wednesday (maybe 80-ish snatch, 100-ish C&J) and that would be it till the comp day.

I know a lot of powerlifters do nothing in that last week, which i dont think could work for the Oly lifts..

Do you compete on the OL lifts now Gubernatrix?

Many of the Russian & Ukranian powerlifters (where their coaches may possibly have originally come across from weightlifting perhaps) continue to train right up to the competition.

Yes I do - did my first comp in February this year. My aim now is to qualify for the British Seniors next year (this year was a bit early for me!). I'm also in the Masters as I'm 35.

I was doing powerlifting alongside weightlifting until very recently but found it a bit difficult to train and compete in both sports properly, so I've taken the decision to focus on oly for the time being and see how it goes.

Excellent, which comp did you do in February? Are you up north or doon south??

Wise move concentrating on the one sport, and even wiser choosing weightlifting Grin
