In the world of physique shows, the smallest edge can bring you victory.
6 of 8 Don't Believe in Magic
There are so many last minute voodoo techniques that are supposed to make you more ripped and more conditioned. The fact of the matter is this, you are one week out of a contest, and if you drastically alter your nutrition or training protocols you are setting yourself up for failure. I have seen guys look absolutely amazing one week out of show day but then blow it by trying to alter everything. The first key is to be lean enough to where you are show ready one week before your contest. When you are show ready you do not have to worry about doing anything to get you there. Show day should be treated just like a normal workout day. I have found manipulating sodium and potassium levels do not give you any advantage in fact you may even lose placings because of it. Stick to what has been working for you and do not make a drastic change so close to a contest.
