As many know I'm doing the NPC Monster Mash @ cincy on oct 28th and then the following week I'm going down to FL to do an NGA show.
So my question is how do you guys prep for back to back shows?
I know I won't be "pigging" out after the monster mash but does it depend on how I come in for the mash that I do get that one bad meal ? I have never done this before so I'm clueless haah. Thanks for your insights.

Just stay on the diet,eat light and clean,and carb up a bit 2-3 days before the second show.
I get tighter at every contest ......usually.

I did 3 contests this year. Figured I needed the experience.
An NPC National Show in April. 2nd NPC Show in June, then the NABBA Nationals In September.
I agree with Tim. I got tighter, and looked better at every show.
Best advice? Don't look at them as back to back. Consider as if you are preparing for them as two completely seperate shows, no matter how much time is in between them. I wouldn't do anything drastic in between. Your not going to change anything drastically in a week, so just maintain. Be careful on your timing if your into the carb deplete/load/water etc.
Also, double check all of your stuff you take with you. You may deplete something you keep in your bag, and get to the next show without it (ie: tanning stuff, etc.). Make a checklist of the stuff your packing just to be sure...posing suit, music, etc.
Sounds simplistic, but with only a week in-between....very easy to forget something.
AND....remember to have fun. Take a well deserved break afterward. I went to Vegas for a week and just chilled out!

I have a client doing 3 shows back to back starting next weekend and I have recommended she have one 'slightly' higher carb meal once she comes off from the night show then straight back into peak week on the sunday. That way you don't risk all out binges.

Thank you Tim, Mr. Beefy and Beckie for your insight. I talked to Eric and he wants me enjoy the night (prob late anyway) then hit it back Sunday. So that what I'll do but you are right Mr. Beefy, I'm looking at this one show at a time.

Chanman!
You can do it buddy!
And whatever the outcome of the first show, don't carry it with you to the second. If you win the overall...you take the risk of getting a little overzealous. If you come in last, you get depressed. Let each one go. Take each one seperately. AND enjoy each one for what they are.
No matter what...YOU will get better and better at every one!
The experience you gain is priceless.
The gains you make, will build a bigger, stronger and better CHANMAN!
Good Luck......and knock 'em dead!

Chan, when I did back to back shows last time, I stayed clean all day at the first one then after the show I had 3 bacon cheese burgers and a biggie fry from Wendies and it was 100% back on the next day. I came in leaner and tighter the 2nd time and in fact, I had an extra candy bar before the night show (2 instead of 1) about 45 mintues before I posed and guys actually said I looked 5 pounds heavier and much much tighter. I'd AsK coach bro!

really that's what he said?  SWEET! I hope he says the same to me! In fact, I was hoping for a, "Enjoy SUnday, back on track Monday" since I'll be another 2 weeks. haha |
