Same playlist before every meet. Gets me locked in!

The barbell squat looked simple until I started paying attention to bracing, foot placement, and depth.

I switched to training legs twice a week, and my squat is finally moving again. Small change, big difference.

I usually check my sleep first.

My routine is basically: show up early, know my flight, eat what I know works, warm up on schedule, and stay in my lane. Simple stuff wins meets more often than trying to be a superhero.

Citrulline is my pick. The pump and training feel are legit for me.

Ground turkey tacos are my current go-to. I use tortillas, lean turkey, black beans, salsa, and a little shredded cheese. Easy to meal prep and I can adjust the portions depending on whether I’m cutting or pushing calories.

If it helps me stay consistent, I'm interested.

Long Your first meet is about learning, not winning. Train consistently, know the commands, and pick realistic attempts. You'll walk away with experience you can build on.

Six weeks can definitely make a beginner feel more comfortable in the gym. You start knowing the equipment, understanding your routine, and not wasting half the workout figuring out what to do.
