Forgot one transitional move in my routine - had to quickly throw in a side-chest. Apparently no-one noticed, whew!

for what it's worth - I don't understand when plers don't train all three lifts on the same day - at least in the last couple weeks precontest

I agree. Benching after squatting as well as pulling after both...is very hard.

Corn & B True:
You answered your own question... Many powerlifters don't train all three, core lifts on the same day because it is very difficult. I don't disagree with either of you about hitting all three lifts in the same training session because this does simulate a meet. But, many powerlifters break up the three, core lifts when training much like many bodybuilders break up their muscle groups because it allows one to focus on a particular movement. Great powerlifters and bodybuilders were developed using both the split and total-body training. I have trained all three core movements in a single training session in the past and it can be a very humbling experience. It is an excellent question, Corn, and deserves some serious thought by all strength athlete competitors. B True is a prime example of someone who has made tremendous gains by training his entire body in a single workout. IMHO.

the threeday w/o does a pretty good job of hitting the major groups within a w/o - and it does humble and it packs on strength and size
Screwball: I do all of my events on one day...because that is the way that it is at a contest. Doing the conan's wheel after deadlifts and the stones is a lot different than doing them before...lol. I would probably grow more on them if I broke them up but that wouldn't do me a lot of good on contest day.
Also note the events test my strength and aren't the same as doing lifting in the gym.

fold - that ,akes sense.
So would pl'ers switching to thr three main lifts during the de-loding phase as some movements are dropped.

I think that doing the 3 lifts, to the extreme, could be counter productive...can be too hard on the body...
I do think that it would be important to do a "pre-meet" meet at your gym a month or so before the contest...

...you think that a meet day once every 5-7 days, say three weeks out - and no with 100Max weights at the beginning - would take more out of you than doing the regular three days per week training?
I don't think it works that way. As a contest approaches...you need to spend more time on the extras and bringing up the volume on each lift to be good at it. I don't think that doing the 3 lifts like that would be good.
Remember to train the bench press you need to:
do speed work
do maximum effort tricep work
tricep volume work
rotator work
lat work
etc.....
It would take you HOURS upon HOURS to do a full 3 lift meet and do all of this...

not taking enough time to rest before matches and games, came in flat. Eating a dozen eggs and a lb of bacon 2 hours before I had to pitch. I played like shit for two innnings and then I threw up in the dugout, after though I played reall well and going 3-4 at bat....
geeez..... i could go on for ever.
but here is numero uno!!!!!!!....... when you back stage pumping up....... stay looking at the floor untill your done onstage...... it really sucks to watch a guy pose who spent too much time checking out the fitness girls backstage and then walk out there looking a little "too happy" to be in posing trunks.
for my first bb contest ever...... i heard about this think called decarbing...... so i gave it a shot....... i had 5-6 chicken breast a day for 3 weeks...... then the day before the show...... i had 3 rice cakes 1 potatoe and 1 cup of rice to "carb up"
oh yeah........ i put my posing oil on in the morning so that i wouldnt have to deal with it in the morning....... then in my half asleep stupor....... i rubbed some preperation h on my stomach....... when i woke up the next morning....... i looked great, exept for the big white bullzeye in the middle of my tanned body.
oh well....... they made my family and friends laugh.
