This is a deload week to fine tune some things and prepare for your competition. The goal behind this week is to prime ourselves to be absolutely fizzing for competition day.
Do not blow yourself out this week and if you don't feel good on a day, stay away from the gym.
It is very important to rest up on Friday for a big workload on competition day. The basis of this weeks workload is to touch base with the movements we typically see in competition and with some sort of formatting under light duress to recover from.
Bear in mind we have had a large amount of volume leading into this - all the hard work has be done.
It would be a wise idea to make a meal plan before you get to the event. Have an understanding if you have to go to the supermarket on Friday and prepare for the events on Saturday and Sunday. Refuelling appropriately is going to be key to where your performance stacks up. You should be having carbohydrates and protein before the event and carbohydrates + electrolytes after each event. Some of it may need to be force fed. Do not make the mistake of being under fuelled. YOU can control this and it will have an effect on your outcome.
Recovery on Friday and at the end of Saturday should and will be of the highest importance. Get your 8 hours + sleep and 20:00-30:00 of mobility at night will prime yourself for sleep and also help you down regulate for resting the parasympathetic nervous system.
