2 weeks out from show UPDATE...

Some thoughts:

sleep is extremely important for rest & recovery, however during prep your body becomes extremely lean. When the body is so lean it becomes more and more difficult to sleep because your body is in a constant stress-fighting mode. My sleep had declined a bit and I was only sleeping about 6 hours when I normally would sleep around 8.

Drinking plenty of water throughout prep is essential because the day or days before competition water will be cut to decrease water retention and “dry out”. Drying out essentially means, reducing any excess water. When your body is holding water your muscles are less defined and of course during show we want to show all the muscle.
