equiped lifter getting raw maxes

[Deleted]

When does an equiped lifter test there raw maxes since alot of shieko training is based off raw maxes. I have a competition in march and was wondering since I will only test my equiped maxes at the meet. I am guessing at some of my raw maxes using an rpe scale right now since I am not 100% sure.

I think what I would do is, take a day and test all 3 lifts without equipment and see where your at. It really depends how far out you are from a meet. Once you have finished with the meet and have rested for a week. I would take a day and retest your unequipped maxes again. Then you will have an accurate starting point to prepare for your next meet..

dave thanks for the reply, right now I am on week 5 of your equiped shieko program I am 7 weeks out from the meet. Would you suggest I take a day and test my maxes, how would I go about that if so (meaning if I did test maxes would I just jump right back into the program as if I never tested them or would I deload.

Your welcome, I would stay the course for now.
Once your meet is over, I would take a day and retest your unequipped maxes.
