Five weeks out from my first powerlifting comp since before covid and having to pull out due to a change of dates (now on my wife's birthday). Preps not been amazing but hitting small comp PRs on squat and bench at a lower weight class (we don't talk about deadlifts) so not sure whether to finish my taper/peak and test anyway or just reset and rebuild. Frustrating to not have a purposeful end date again, I've been in 'general build' mode for ages now, but probably a good thing for my general cortisol levels.
Kind of a vent but not really:
