The last regular gym I went to, Maximum Fitness, had a prowler, a SS bar laying around next to the oly platform, and a reverse hyper. I think I've found my place. One of the trainers passing by me commented "nice squats young lady" and, after talking to him, turned out to be a former powerlifter and a disciple of Louie Simmons. Looked him up...kind of a big deal, no?
These will be my last couple workouts, combined below, before I go idle for 3 weeks. Hopefully I can get back on track when I get back from Europe and prepare myself for the November meet. I'll have six weeks to get back into competition shape. Possible? Maybe?

Sounds awesome Dafina! Get some good coaching there.
That's cool that you were able to find a PL friendly gym around where you live. What was the guy's name who said he trained with Louie Simmons?
It's not ideal to have 3 weeks completely off this close to the meet, but if you're able to get 6 solid weeks of training leading up to the meet it still may be worth it.
His name is JD Durso. He told me he's a 5-time national champion. I asked him what federations he did and he mentioned AAU and another one that I didn't recognize. Nice guy. He's a trainer though so I don't know if he'll let me get advice for free haha.
And yeah, definitely not the ideal situation, but I figured if I'm not doing anything, I might as well compete. I can always compete again and do better :)
