Doing a dead only comp Sunday also, good discussion guys.
I'm aiming for 260+, hit 240 for a single twice last week, first was horrible, rested a few minutes then hit it again with much better speed, so 240 will be my opener then going straight to 260 so I have at least two attempts.
I always open low (round 40kg less than my 2nd attempt). I treat my opener as my last warmup single. I feel it's important to get an easy confident opener in.
For me I'd go:
60kg x 5
100kg x 4
140kg x 3
180kg x 1
220kg x 1
260kg x 1
300kg x 1 (opener)
~340kg x 1 (2nd)
2nd attempt weight plus a little bit x fail, cause I'm only good for one big pull haha.
My advice would be to stick to what you do in training ie. if you're used to big jumps do big jumps in the comp but if you're only used to small jumps then stick with small jumps in the comp.
Good luck dude!
If i was going for 250 i would go 120 x 5 170 x 2 200 x 1 1st 210 2nd 230 3rd 250. bigger jumps and lower openers are always better. Hedging your bets by opening higher and doing smaller jumps is just you preparing yourself to fail and keep a decent number on the board.
