How do people warm-up and plan attempts for a push/pull or deadlift only competition?
I just realised I always just add 10kg and get plenty of work in when I train. Never really a focus on the max weight I can hit I just get reps in lol.
When I compete, I am already very warm for deadlifts and will do 1 maybe 2 warm-ups.
What do people think about this? My best deadlift is 245kg and I missed 250 mid thigh
3x125kg (50%)
2x150 (60)
2x2x175 (70)
1x200 (80)
1x225 (90)
Then first attempt and plan from there?

I reckon that is quite good, only you'd know.
You want to perpare yourself for the heavy lift, but not wear yourself out.
I think by the time you are ready you need to be slightly sweaty.
Also, is it worth going in and hitting some light (50%) speed singles today seeing as the comp is this sunday? My last heavy session was a week ago.
Are you aiming to nail your first attempt or 3rd attempt?
if you have an idea on what you want your final attempt to be, start from there and work backwards.
Why not just go 225-250-? Seems silly to waste energy opening on anything other than something you can smoke any day of the week for an opener.
By treating opener as 100%, I meant purely for the purposes of working out warm-ups, eg if you decide 235 is the opener, make the warmups a percentage of that.
