Think of peaking like icing on the cake 🍰

😵💫😵💫😵💫 what to do? What to do?!
While manipulating variables within the peak may not change the actual ‘cake’ component- having a complementary flavor of icing and distribution of it can be something that takes the cake from ‘good’ to ‘flavor bomb’…
Same thing goes for a peak- and the reality is with the level of competition that’s stepping on stages today, you may need that additional 1-3% over others to win your category and even further, an overall.
Most the work with regards to fat loss and formulating a peak week plan must be done before peak week comes around.
‘Peaking’ is a SHORT-TERM process, which is funny because the process of ‘getting there’ is something that takes months and months of around the clock compounded effort... but it is a very rewarding process.
In this episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of chatting to @christopher.barakat and his latest paper ‘Peak week recommendations for bodybuilders: an evidence based approach’ led by @doctorgfit and colleagues @fortitude_training @thealanaragon @bradschoenfeldphd
We chatted about many things such as, standardizing definitions for different peaking strategies, how to obtain data and formulate a plan, considerations from a training perspective, and misc. variables (e.g. sleep, stress, supplements) that have an ability to influence a peak.
Tune into the full discussion to understand how to optimize your peaking process!
