Hey guys,
I just finished my first meet in Hong Kong and I'm planning on moving into HLM. The reason being is that I'll do my military service in Finland, so I would like to prepare myself and I also think it's time to move on from being an advance novice. I just want to see if you guys think I'm heading in the right path and would love to hear everyone's input.
Age: 22
BW: 87-88kg
Height: 5ft 8inches (I think)
Last lifts from Advance Novice SS
SQ: 170kg = 374lbs (1x5 with a 5% back off set)
BP: 99kg = 218lbs (3x5)
Press: 69kg = 152lbs (3x3)
DL: 180kg = 396lbs (1x5)
PC: 93kg = 205lbs (5x3)
Lifts from the meet
SQ: 200kg = 440lbs
BP: 117.5kg = 259lbs
DL: 225kg = 496lbs
Here's the layout
Heavy

1x5, 4x5 (back off sets 5-10%)
Deadlift

Light

Note that the meet was done on Sunday (3rd June). I wouldn't say it being an official meet from a governing body, but it was more for people who love the sports of powerlifting or olympic weightlifting. Also I can post my lifts from the meet, if anyone is interested.
Looks like a pretty standard HLM set up.
Two things you might consider is to off set the heavy days for each lift so for instance:
Squat: -H--L--M-
Press: -M--H--L-
Pull: -L--M--H-
Second thing is that the press is already light compared to the other pressing lifts so you could prolly do more than just 3x5...
