Powerlifting Comp in 4 Weeks

So I'm going to do my first powerlifting comp in 4 weeks.  I'm going to be at 181 and my numbers aren't great, but hopefully it will be fun anyway.  The routine I'm doing now isn't really a powerlifting routine, but I've been making pretty good gains with it anyway.  Should I switch to more of a powerlifting routine or just keep going with what I'm doing.  Any other general tips/advice would be much appreciated too.  Thanks. 

Also, I'm not that excited about having to wear a onsie, but I guess I'll have to get used to it. 

Wow, that's awesome.  Well, it's your first competition and it's only 3 weeks away now, so I would just say keep doing what you are doing and maybe focus on powerlifting before the next comp.  Good luck!

Whats  your current like?

Im on the powerlifting team at my uni and im going to my first comp is november the coach said its good thing to go ahead and get all the nervousness out and even though im "weaker" side it will feel good when i go to comp again in a few months are my numbers are even better  ive only put my onsie on a few times im slowly getting used to it its quite strapping i kid

My current routine is an upper body, lower body/back split.  I work out 6 times a week so I do each day 3 times/week.

Upper body
Bench press*
DB Military Press
DB Incline*
Some sort of biceps
Some sort of Triceps
Flies*

Lower/Back
Wide Lat. Pulldown*
Squats*
Bent Over Row*
Deadlifts
Seated Row*

I do 3 sets of each except for deadlifts, which I do 4 sets of 3,3,1,1.  The ones w/o a star I just do 3x8 and the ones w/ the star I do 3 sets of anywhere from 12 to 2 reps.  I have a 4 week cycle in which I rotate what reps I do for those exercises.

My lifts aren't as good as I had hoped, but I am going to go for 295-315 on bench, 315 for squat, and 415-425 for deadlift.

That's a very good bench press there, around 145 kg.

Thanks, I'm kind of ashamed that my squat is so close to my bench, but I just started them somewhat recently.

Seriously Good luck!

I am not the person to tell how how to train for that.

Safe to assume your are reducing your rep range as you near the contest, in the hopes of pushing your one rep up, with you at a near max out shortly before the contest? high set volume less rest?

Thanks, and I am tapering down to lower reps so hopefully I can peak at the competition.

I got my onsie and knee wraps in today!

I got first place in the 181 juniors division.  Booyah!  My lifts were 325 squat, 275 bench, and 430 for deadlift.  I probably could have gone 15-20 pounds heavier on squat.  I missed my second attempt at bench (for 275) because I moved my foot, so I just did it again on my third attemp.  On deadlift, I didn't know it at the time but the state record is 430 or 435 for deadlift, and I definately could have broken that or at least tried, but I did not know.  Oh well, it was a lot of fun though. 

Good Job!
where was the comp placed?

Thanks!  It was at Core 24 gym in Seneca, South Carolina.  It was pretty small, but I'm definitely going to do it again.

435 lbs is easily broken and ill come there and break it in a few months

Thank you, thank you.
