I will be going on vacation in 7 days, and I was wondering if you had any advice for that last minute prep. I’ve been running built for bad for about 6 weeks now and feel that I have gotten as much out of it as I’m going to get for now. I realize I probably can’t make much happen in 7 workouts, but I’m just curious what you advise I do during this final week.
I have access to Plazma, MAG-10, Micro-PA, Indigo-3G, and Carbolin 19.
I am also curious what I should do while on vacation. Probably just neural charge? Maybe some pump work.
Hard to make any recommendations about the final week. Truthfully except for dietary manipulations there isn’t much you can do to make singificant changes in your look.
I personally like to “overreach” the week prior to going on vacation, increasing volume by up to 100% (more often 50-75%) while also reducing caloric intake somewhat. When you do this, even if you go crazy on your vacation you will actually improve via surcompensation.
As for training I prefer to do short pump workouts during vacations. Nothing that causes any neural or metabolic fatigue… enjoy yourself!
What should my nutrition looking this week? I don’t need anything detailed, maybe just a few guidelines. The reason I ask is because this increase of volume is already making me super hungry. I’m consuming 3 plazma and 4 mag10 per day so I’m really not worried about recovery. Should I just tough this out for a week?

It depends on your goal. If your goal is to look good for the vacation, power through it (and even decrease calorie slightly). If your goal is to do the “hell week” to prevent detraining and get a supercompensation effect you can increase your caloric intake by 25% or so.
