How many weeks do you take to prep for a meet?

If you do meet prep, what does your “offseason” look like?

Thanks in advance for you answers!

I compete where I can, when I can. Usually I just need 2 or 3 days to rest up and then Ill compete. Thats just me though, Im not a Pro or Elite lifter, the records are in no danger of being beat by me, lol

I would personally need 5 weeks to get mentally ready I think and to get fully adapted to big singles. How ever if I was invited and it was free if I had a 4 days atleast to completely rest up I would go.

As reed mentioned, 5 weeks are ok.

Are you talking raw or geared? For a geared meet, I need several weeks to get used to the heavy singles and get used to the groove of the gear (not to mention making sure my body weight is right on - a few pounds makes a huge difference). For a raw meet, the biggest thing is some rest before. I like 5-6 days.
