All power movement begins with the hip and is transferred to the ground and to your opponent. Watch and learn as much as you can about your position and have fun (hitting people and physically / mentally competing is fun). You appear to have a lot of good functional strength, use your brains out there and you'll do fine. Cleans, clean and press, squats, deadlift and incline bench are the biggies.

It was an awesome day. I can't wait to get back into the gym tomorrow and kill some weights. At my meet yesterday I benched 225 and deadlifted 390, at 162.4 pounds. It was an awesome day.

I want to get over 600 at the meet on November 18th, 2006. (Deadlift+Bench) I want to pull at least 375 and bench 225(Pause bench). I'm very close. Bench is at 215 competition style, and my deadlift is at 355. My deadlift has shot up like a rocket since I've been working out more often and more intense.

I warmed up on the leg extension/ leg curl machines then moved on to a few light sets of sumo squats. I had a lot in me still so insted of doing SLDL's I did regular deadlifts. I did some good sets then started to feel like a had a ton in me still. I put 315 on and pulled out 3 reps. Bumped it up to 335 and got it for 3 reps! Then I put on 355! It came right up! My old PR was 325 from about a month ago, so I guess I'm doing something right. I think gaining 15lbs. or so helped all my lifts out a lot. I had a great day.

Sounds like your mass program is going good so far keep up the good work. I will find out tonight how mine is going, I take pics and weight and measures.
