Which meet?

I was looking up the info for the "meet in May" that everyone keeps talking about.

Is it this one?

AAU RAW NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
May 7, Rockland MA

It seems to be run by the same guys (BigRich of Big Iron).

There's also full power meet April 30 in NH (http://www.elitepowerlifting.com/current_events.html)

Carpooling

How are we all getting to the meet? Do we need to take out a rental car using the MIT discount? I don't have a car.

Shanker: 7 weeks out

Thanks to back tweaking I have had to reset my initial 4 week, rest, 4 week block approach to preparing for the meet. As of last Saturday we are 7 weeks away, so, with thanks to Danny (as usual) for the advice, the following will be my pre-meet plan.

Week 1
5 sets of 5 for all major lifts.
DL day (done yesterday)
BP day
Squat day

Week 2
4 sets of 4 for all major lifts with a 5% increase over weights hit in week 1.

Week 3
3 sets of 3 for all major lifts with a >5% increase over weights in week 2.

Week 4
Rest/light lifting

Week 5
4 sets of 4 for all major lifts using weights from week 3.

Week 6
3 sets of 3 for all major lifts with a 5% increase over weights in week 5.
This weight, if achieved consistently in each respective workout will serve as my openers at the meet.

Week 7
Rest

This is obviously not ideal, but given the time constraints and desire to err on the side of caution, I think this is the best plan.
