Peak Week
The 7 days leading up to a show are critical for being your best on stage when it counts. There are several methods we use with our clients to really bring the most out of your physique and create the most competitive final product. While every client’s peak week will look a bit different, we can generalize some of the methods we use and also help you mentally prepare for that week.
