Seven Days Out!
I see contestants posting about starting Peak Week!
Peak week is 7 days out from a show when people make any adjustments in their meal plans.
Many people cut out some carbohydrates from Sunday to Wednesday and they add some carbs back Wednesday night leading to the show while cutting out any foods with sodium.
They may also drink distilled water and tweak things so they look more ripped.
Main thing is if you did your homework and you are ready
there isn't much to do now.
Many people stop lifting three days before the event and just coast in.
Not much you can do if your not ready - what's done is done.
Nothing you could do about it so don't stress.
Nerves are the worst. Being nervous can
bloat you.
Many years ago I did a big show and four weeks out I was my best ever. I made the mistake of taking everyone's advice and I screwed up my diet. I was way better 4 weeks earlier. Thing was I was so nervous and the nerves and stressed me out. I just couldn't relax.
I remember asking this amazing contestant who had won if he messed with his sodium and
water and he said, "No." That was it just a plain "No". That guy went on and won that night.
