This can make the difference between a trophy and coming home empty handed. As the attempts progress, keep tabs on what s going on and make adjustments if possible. Too often a lifter complains that if he knew what a close competitor was taking in his next attempt, he could have won a trophy by adjusting his attempt by just a few pounds. Occupying yourself during the times when you are not lifting is worth considering. Make sure you have comfortable clothes to wear while waiting.
Sweats make sense at meets where it can get chilly.
Listening to music can help during these times as well as when waiting to lift in the on-deck area. Perhaps taking a walk outside the meet area can help to clear out the cobwebs. Over time, lifting tends to make us bigger and heavier. Making weight can get more and more difficult. This could be signaling you that a move-up in weight class would be your best ticket.
