Don't neglect competition lifts (squat, bench press, deadlift) in training as the meet nears.

Competition lifts train muscles & connective tissues for specific force production & tolerance.

Weeks before the meet, focus on competition lifts for optimal performance.

Assistance exercises should mimic competition lifts for better transfer to performance.

Competition lifts train the nervous system for optimal execution and technical proficiency.

The closer to the competition, the more you should train the actual lifts for peak performance.
