USPA - Blue Ridge Classic

Bigger Stronger Leaner

Hey guys,

Anyone ever do a USPA meet? How was it? What was your experience with them?

I haven’t done a meet since 2019. Had one lined up in 2020 and the world’s reaction to COVID ruined that. Then I had a glute injury, mental breakdown(1/2 joking) and general life stuff push training back on the importance meter. It’s the usual story, kids, work blah blah blah. Anyway I see a meet close by at the beginning of December. I’m a little worried about going full meet. I haven’t squatted more that 225 in the past 3 years. Push/Pull is an option.

USPA entry and membership are a bit pricey, but I get it. I just got spoiled doing those Albany Strength backyard meets. I’m not looking to qualify for anything, just want to push myself and get back on the platform.

So, long winded but is a USPA meet generally suited for a dad trying to hang on to his youth and put some numbers back up?

Screw it, I’m in the meet. I’ll let you guys know how it goes.

I’m really nervous about my squat. I’ve always improved my numbers with each meet, but this time I’m going to have to be realistic and probably not hit a PR. 12 weeks to train, we’ll see how it goes.

I did one like 7 years ago. Huge range of competitors, from complete newbs to yoked out monsters. It was a 24 hour weigh-in, in my hometown which was awesome. Not because I did some crazy cut, but because there was no massive delay on the comp morning (which happened both times I did USAPL).
