PL Situation: You’re competing at Raw Nationals, trying to earn your Pro Card. You’re the last deadlifter & currently in 4th Place. You need 3rd or higher to earn a pro card. 1st Place pays $1000. Your 2nd deadlift of 300kg was easy. Your PR is 330kg. 

  • 302.5kg will get you 3rd
  • 305 will get you 2nd
  • 327.5kg will get you 1st. 
    • What do you do? 

New Lifter Tip:  Don't do a loading phase with creatine.
