Cheers Sticky, a wealth of knowledge!
be carefull tht you dont open too light, or the jump to your desired second attempt will be too large
I work with a hypnotherapist at work who uses a wide variety of methods on me. He treats everything from anxiety to engraining movement patterns to making me believe i can do anything. Highly recommended and you can self medicate once you know the techniques.
Youll be find after the first squat anyway
Not if that's the way you train in the gym, I'll often take a 35-40kg jump from my opening deadlift to my second attempt.

2) choose opening based on lifts you can do at least 3 reps of on the day of the comp (i.e. you do it as part of you warmup). If your nervous your opening attempt needs to be doable in your sleep so that a) u dont fuck it up b) you get something on the board incase you fail your harder attempts. 2nd attempt perhaps a bit below your PR and 3rd a bit over it.
Added an extra bit. Markos uses this approach for his novice / new lifters in the early comps. two reasons -
1. You should easily make this lift - gets you in the comp (no bombing)
2. It's a massive confidence boost.
Use you're second and third attempts to smash PBs.
Once you've done a few comps feel free to use whatever approach you want but in PL, no one cares what you lifts you fail, it's the total that wins the comp.
