First, your eyeliner looks fly af. Second, this video is out just in time- I'm currently packing to leave for nationals and I'm super nervous about forgetting something stupid. Thanks!
Thank you so so much Meg! I needed this as I'm prepping for my first meet this month after running your Strong Strong Friends Program 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Love yah and GOOD LUCK AT RAW NATIONALS!!!!!! 💪🏽💪🏽💜💜💜
Loooove this video! I just had my first meet this past July (followed your programming!) and watched your previous packing video while I was preparing. It was super helpful as well! Thankfully I didn’t miss anything and actually had everything (besides spitting implements lol) in this video! Also, depending on federations, lifters may need to bring proof of drug testing information certifications. In the OPA (Ontario, Canada) you need this!
I'm not sure if you've ever done a video like this but - I'd LOVE a video all about water loading for a meet!!! I can never find info on it, especially pertaining to women.
Thx so much for the heads up on what I need when I have my first meet in January. I am currently going to have my first practice tomorrow for my school's team so I am nervous but also excited. Thx!!!
PR’D MY BENCH!!!! 65#!!! Which, yeah, is really shitty in comparison to like, everyone but!!!! I never really bench so i’m super proud!! (Kinda makes me want to get into powerlifting ngl)
My last USAPL meet specifically prohibited crop tops under your singlet, just a heads up! I would probably bank on a standard cotton tee with regular length sleeves (some women’s tees have weirdly short sleeves).
THIS IS NOT RESTRICTED IN THE RULE BOOK! Bring a copy of the rule book or have it on your phone. Anytime someone tries to tell you that is not allowed, ask them to show the restriction to you in the rulebook
See and I wondered why I didn’t see it in the rule book when I read it probably 3 times before my meet. But I thought, if the meet director says no I should just let it go. Thanks meg!
I’m doing my first Olympic meet in 3 weeks and just feeling nervous but it was a huge help and answered a lot of my other questions, especially when it comes to dropping weight cuz I might have to do that .
Re: the membership card, a lot of people screen shot it at regionals and showed that and the waiver that way. That way you aren’t standing there digging through your email backing up the line, but can swipe easily from one to the other. 🤗🤗
Before my first meet I definitely rewatched your previous video about packing a bunch! However, mal (lvd) did make a really good blog post and pdf of a list, which included some other things like rollers ... Soooo... Maybe a better list? Hehehe . Can't wait to watch you lift!
Off topic: Thank you again Megan. This is my dream. To be as strong as i can and to compete. So i start monday with your amazing program "Uplifted". (I would have started a week ago, but some ex bf drama happend. That's life right ). I followed your advice and went to a powerlifting gym. So amazing (couldn't afford ). So with your program and my effort to stay consistent , i know i won't be training alone. Btw: amazing program. Video's are excellent. Not only you are a gorgeous woman/coach but your personality shines through. Don't be mad, i have my notebook ready LOL. Thank you dear, for creating an excellent programm for everyone. For woman and men all over the world who don't have much to spend. (Thanks to body building.com too ). Wishing you all the best. Thanks again strong strong friend. Hi from the Netherlands.
On topic : this video inspires me. Thank God i have time to safe money when i will compete. (So i wouldnt look like a homeless person 😂). Thank you Meg. 💯💪
You really are my inspiration. I got really depressed and packed on the pounds. Watching your videos gave me that extra push to better myself and be happy with myself. Thank you. Loyal subscriber
Do you have a strong opinion on which singlet to get? I know you have an Inzer one, but wanted to know why you picked that one or if you'd still recommend it vs others like SBD or Titan? Thanks so much for all you do and all the resources you provide to the community! Good luck on the platform :)
For your coach/handler, is there a certain form to fill out for them on the site? Or do we just pay for them to be with us the day of the meet? I'm still confused about that part
Hey Meg! New to the sport and hoping to do my first meet in September and just wondering you didn't mention any kind of bra or sports bra...what is your opinion on that? Love the channel, you're a badass!
Question: did you use to do crossfit at a gym in Florida? You look just like a woman I saw working out there preparing for a national crossfit event. She had a coach out of California (cellphone coach). Enjoyed your video here.
Hey Meg, as a big fan & supporter, I do have to say I find it quite offensive when people use the term "look homeless" to describe dingy/not put-together. I think there are better ways to phrase it and as someone with a growing platform, you do have influence over how others take on phrases as well. "Look homeless" is something I hear far too often and someone once pointed it out to me when I used it, so I try to do the same. Not all people experiencing homelessness are dirty. Thanks, queen - good luck at the meet!
Spitting to make weight? Seriously? Now the wanne be scientist in me wants to get a measuring cup and a sliced up lemon and see how much saliva one can produce that way.
haha you should do it! Most lifters who cut weight want to get right on the dot, so weighing just over happens. Go pee again, spit a little. You'll see a few people spitting at every big meet before weigh ins
Maybe I missed it. But i always take with me for long days a pre charged, portable charger for phone
Good one!!’
Super useful! Thanks! Unrelated, but I saw your Special K ad on my TH-cam banner, pretty sure that means you're super famous now
Girl your cheekbones are amazing!!!!! Also thank you for being such an inspiration.
First, your eyeliner looks fly af.
Second, this video is out just in time- I'm currently packing to leave for nationals and I'm super nervous about forgetting something stupid. Thanks!
You just need something to snort and a bro who knows the art of the "slap city"
I have had two meets this year already and I will probably watch this video again in 3 weeks before I pack for my next one. Thanks for making it!
Thank you for this list it is very helpful. I am currently 3 weeks out from my first ever meet and was wondering what I should pack 👍🏻😀
Thank you so so much Meg! I needed this as I'm prepping for my first meet this month after running your Strong Strong Friends Program 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Love yah and GOOD LUCK AT RAW NATIONALS!!!!!! 💪🏽💪🏽💜💜💜
So good for my first meet in 5 weeks!
I wear my OG Strong Strong Friend shirt under my singlet. I was so proud to wear it on the platform!

It’s annoying to sit and argue, but I would try and reason if its important to you
You can kind of tell that Meg is leaned out by her face. Them cheek bones were popping, looking good! God Speed at your meet.

You have inspired me!
2 days out from my first meet and this came on my suggestions, pumped 💪
Good luck girl!!!!!!!!
For the spitting thing grape jolly ranchers are amazong
Your edits are indeed amazing. Well presented info too.

So hyped for you, Meg! This also just made me so excited for my first powerlifting meet in December. Thanks for all the info!
Great video! Always wondered about this topic, super helpful :)
Okay those pens are THE BEST pens
Good luck at nationals Meg!!!!

“Anything that you need to warm up” kinda covers that don’t ya think! Try again next time. But I do love Mal 😘
@@Megsquats allllright, I'll give you that 😁 Cheering for you from Ottawa today!
My first meet is next Sunday!! Thank you for these tips ❤️
Not a lifter, but I look forward to everyone of you videos 😂💖
Great fitness information in this TH-cam video I love that
Wait a second, Is this for the powerlifting meet in Spokane this weekend?! If so, enjoy our city!!
OMG I loved this so much but I was like 😳🤣 when she said "meet packing"
Definitely wish I had this before my first meet 🤦🏼♀️😂😂
Looking strong girl💪🏼 watched the lifestream today 🤙🏼

good luck you're awesome 😊
I'm loving the red hair on you its perfect
Love The Red Hair!!!! Gorgeous!!
So creative you have content
On topic : this video inspires me. Thank God i have time to safe money when i will compete. (So i wouldnt look like a homeless person 😂). Thank you Meg. 💯💪
Why does everyone hate Special K?
You really are my inspiration. I got really depressed and packed on the pounds. Watching your videos gave me that extra push to better myself and be happy with myself. Thank you. Loyal subscriber
Do you have a strong opinion on which singlet to get? I know you have an Inzer one, but wanted to know why you picked that one or if you'd still recommend it vs others like SBD or Titan? Thanks so much for all you do and all the resources you provide to the community! Good luck on the platform :)
I choose Inzer bc it’s cutest 😝 not much more of a reason behind my choice. I think SBD looks like it fits well
@@Megsquats whatever works! Totally reasonable reason 😀
Very informative 😊
How do you fly with your inzer belt? I'm too scared to put it in a carry-on just in case of airport security!
underwear is not necessary in USPA but always varies from federation to federation!
Don't forget the chocolate cereal, kellogs special K...
For your coach/handler, is there a certain form to fill out for them on the site? Or do we just pay for them to be with us the day of the meet? I'm still confused about that part
Actually I used to warm up looking like a homeless person 😂 guilty. Great video BTW, exactly what I needed I have a meet next month.
Questioooon, how often do you do cardio?
At the moment, never
Just a note - underwear isn't required in USPA.
Why not just those tasty salt tablets that disolve in water? I dno, I've never cut water :D Great list Meg!
I’ve got my first Powerlifting meet this Sunday 😬
Meg, do you do anything other than Squat? like good a math, biology, cooking?
As we say in Norway, "Shit fishing" haha! Just cause wishing someone "good luck" is bad luck ;) Great video!
Megan I have done all that and more before you were born weightlifting and rings you try it

Usapl has checked underwear, know from experience
Such a good video. New subbie here.
is it OK to use aspirin during a session?
You might disqualify for doping.
Link to those lavender adidas please!!
With your période were you less strong on show day ?
your cheekbones are everything the bone structure woman holy shit
There was also a attempt templet as an excel sheet. Doese someone know the link to it?
Thanks
Would you say being literate is important for attending a meet, or can I just wing it?
I can understand the equipment...but underwear? Seriously. Who goes "commando" to a lift meet?😆
Actually quite a few people, most boys do because their underwear is 'too bulky'
Great video, and knock em dead.
Omg hey meg
Weird question but are your eyes real or are they contacts? I have never seen eyes like that before
You've seen the comments from your commercia?l lol
I haven't watched your videos in a while you look super lean
Pickle juice will also get those sodium levels crackalackin!
Whos freeballing while going for a heavy squat ?
You don’t truly earn that third white light until your nuts graze the floor.
Meg, you are adorable.
Damn, am I the only one that brings like 3 pairs of undies 😂 just in case!
liz howard No, you’re not alone, lmaooo.

Sweets. Whoever pointed this out to you is a fucking idiot. Ignore them and stop policing me for hyperbole. You’ve got to be joking.
I agree with the poster. Homeless as a descriptive adjective isn't the best usage of words.
Can that really be healthy? Ammonia? 8:28
First
Will spitting really make that much of a difference in weight?! That's nuts. Anywayssss... Good luck! Hope you kill that ish.
Yes, esp, if you're within a lb or under
00:01 Had a moment, where for a split second, I thought you weren't wearing a shirt. I was like...that's a power move.
I dont maths 😔
Meet Packing List hehehehehe
I used to do it for special Olympics
use your knees in all your lifts knees knees knees
A small toiletry bag with spare hair ties, small deodorant, a screw driver incase you're bloated and a few bits and pieces like that.
Spitting to make weight? Seriously?
Now the wanne be scientist in me wants to get a measuring cup and a sliced up lemon and see how much saliva one can produce that way.
haha you should do it! Most lifters who cut weight want to get right on the dot, so weighing just over happens. Go pee again, spit a little. You'll see a few people spitting at every big meet before weigh ins
Some Boxers do that to take off a few oz.
I could not focus on the content of the video because you are cute.
