Deload week so close to a show?

[areya2005]

Well, I'm a little under 7 weeks out, and I was going to deload every 9th week of prep. I just realized that last week was the 18th week and forgot to do it.

Anyways, is doing a deload week this close to the show a good idea, or is it better to just go and bust your ass for the calorie expenditure?

Thanks in advance.

7 Weeks out is not that close at all. I'm 3 weeks out and feel like I need one but I will suck it up for 2 more weeks since peak weak is kind of like a deload workout wise anyways......I would do it at 7 weeks out.
