Final-week training/cardio structure, posing polish, recovery rhythm

Nutrition & Water Game (Coach-Directed):

Consistency, timing, and check-in-based tweaks (no freelancing)

Show Flow Logistics:

Athlete check-in, tanning, glazing, pump-up timing, presentations, comparisons, finals

Stage Craft:

Walking patterns, line-up awareness, eye-line, exits

Pro-Level Presentation:

Suit, jewelry, hair/makeup, tan care, backstage etiquette

Peak Week Overview (General Guidelines)

Always follow your coach’s exact protocol. These are standard anchors.

TRAINING

Early week:

Moderate intensity, technique-first; no new movements

Training

Midweek:

Taper volume; prioritize posing polish and recovery

Training

24–48h out:

Rest/light activation only; protect joints/skin/inflammation

Training
CARDIO

Steady Intake:

Taper to protect fullness; keep steps for circulation

Cardio

Hydration:

No “make-up” marathons—peak week is precision, not punishment

Cardio
NUTRITION

Keep meals consistent and easily digestible; avoid “new” foods

Show Day Flow (Step-by-Step)

Check-In & Numbers

Arrive early with ID, federation cards, suit check, jewelry, music (if applicable)

Tan & Glaze

Follow tan schedule; loose clothing only; no deodorant/perfume pre-tan

Glaze light and even; the tanning sponsor or your coach should do this for you

Pump-Up Timing

Start ~10–15 minutes before stage time (division-dependent)

Bands > heavy weights; prioritize shoulders, glutes, upper back

Small sips of water per coach; avoid sugary “hacks” you didn’t test

Stage Queue

Heels on, suit straps checked, hair positioned as needed

Breathe. Posture tall. Face on. Core in tight. Persona locked.

Pre-Judging

Hold poses cleanly; micro-adjust once if needed, then own it

Eye-line: center judge > panel > audience; smile with control

Finals & Awards

Repeat flow, smoother and slower; finish with a confident pose

Celebrate like a pro—gracious, present, photogenic

Drills (Daily This Week – Short & Specific)

30-Second Stage Loop:
