What To Expect During Peak Week


What to expect during Peak Week

5 Big Misconceptions 


Stress- Everyone freaks out during Peak Week.  Keep it simple.  1 week out you should be “Stage Ready.”  Relax, work is already done.

2.  Count Macros- Not necessary just be specific on what you limit, cut down or eliminate.  Dairy, artificial sweeteners, salt, sugar, herbs, medications.

3.  Prepare.  Don’t wait I’ll the last minute!  Do this before Peak Week.  Get a base tan- just to “Base” your natural color a darker shade before the show.  Wash your hair, shave, pluck, wax, pedicure, manicure, haircut, hair extensions, appointments for MUA, Tan Company, pack shoes, suit, jewelry, NPC Card. 

4.  Depleting Salt and Water slowly for optimum leaness.  Every body is different and each person carries water and salt differently.  Try a Dry Sauna, stretch and yoga, foam roll, Whole Body Vibration Machine, Rebounding, Body Compression and Hydrogen Therapy helps me lean out.

5.  Don’t overtrain.  Get rest more during peak week then ever before.  Keep@your muscles full so lighten up on your workouts but don’t overdo it.  Everything should be in place one week out.

Generally things to expect when on Peak Week.  Things like weakness, tiredness, fatigue, energy up and down, dizziness, nausea, inflammation in areas never felt before.  Don’t worry just take it easy and don’t freak out.  Because this process is temporary and you can’t do this.

You’ve come this far and stayed this focused so this is the hardest part to lay your excitement aside and just be humble and grateful that your work is done.

I'm 3 Days Out from my next competition The Jay Cutler Desert Classics April 20th at the Tropicana Casino and I want to thank Saleyla for making this new beautiful suit for me.

My 2nd Day Of Social Media Detox

Image
I woke up 4am.  Was out the door at 8am and the bank and print business weren’t open till 9am.  So I went to the gas station to fill up and then went home and walked the dogs.  Boy, all the time I have. Today I printed my new business cards, picked up my latest edition of New Mind, New You Book, consigned some clothes at Buffalo Clothing Exchange, posted a few items for sale on Facebook Marketplace, blogged on my website, went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, went to LVAC for calves, abs and cardio and even had enough time to was able to go home to Gene and go over our day and just hanging out for a bit before bedtime. I am in amazement over having almost no anxiety.  That’s a biggest part I see.  Also not wasting time scrolling, posting or writing content and really finishing my day doing serious constructive activities to make a living.  I'm also not needing to take pictures of everything I see or am doing thinking that it would make a good ...

What would your Mandala look like?    What colors and shapes would you choose?  How would it represent you? Color therapy is real. It’s defined as Chromotherapy. But let’s go into details about what a Mandala is and how it defines and represents you. A mandala is an integrated structure organized around a unified center.  From the classical Indian word “Sanskrit” And loosely translated to mean “Circle” but a mandala is far more than just a circle.  It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a organize structure to represent the meaning of life.  A mandala diagrams the infinite meaning into our soul and representatives a dream into our being both in this world and past that to what we cannot see.

What is Whey and Caesin Protein? Dairy protein supplements best selling 2 source of protein powders on the market. How do these powerhouses compare?  Both are complete proteins with amino acids and easily digested by 97% in the body.  Both are extremely popular but don’t share the same benefits. Whey-  their digestion faster rate to reach amino acids higher and reach blood faster Caesin-with a curdling effect is slower up to 8 hours in the body and slowly digested. Lucien is a amino binding syntheses and has more immediate to the body with whey and spikes blood sugars higher but Caesin carries more protein syntheses is also leaves the blood elevated up to 36 hours which releases less Lucien levels than whey. So which one is the best one to take? Caesin focused on protein breakdown with less luecin but whey has a faster generated effect to effect muscle gains in a quicker process.  So yes, whey is a short part more faster to recover but ...
