Taking off 2 full weeks after the meet from Deadlifts definitely helped out a lot! Felt fresh and recovered for this workout. This weekend I start back up on my Squats again which will make 3 full weeks since I last squatted at the UPA meet. I think it's very important to give your body a break and let yourself recover after doing meets. I've been injured before not letting myself heal or giving myself enough time after meets to come back into the heavier training slowly. I've definitely learned from my mistakes!

Is two weeks off after a meet standard/automatic? Or does it vary a lot dependin on how ya feel?

I've waited a full week before and then jumped right back into training but didn't feel recovered going back into the workout. So now I always wait 2 full weeks before I start deadlifting or squatting heavy again. Also the way we train is a lot different than most people. We're used to alternating our squats/deadlifts every other weekend. So we only squat twice a month and deadlift twice a month for the most part when training for a meet.
