The low stress local weightlifting competition


#1 Show up to the weigh in late but within the time frame agreed upon. This way you don't have to sit around anxiously waiting for your name to be called and people won't have time to engage you in conversation and thus draining you of energy. Some people put in the music ear phones which is smart, it says "hey I can't hear you so don't even try".

#2 After the weigh-in leave the location and go get coffee and/or eat. Get away from it all.

#3 Come back just in time for introductions.

#4 Sit and watch as people warm up. Stay cool, it's their time to warm up, not yours.

#5 Warm up with singles. No need for extra reps, you've put in the work leading up to this point in time.

#6 Participate in the after competition festivities. Usually there is some form of after competition social. You've avoided everyone during the competition because you were a competitor, now's the time to let it all hang out and enjoy everyone for some food and conversation.
