We filmed this the week of the Olympia in Vegas so I was in between shows. We put a lot of work into these so I hope you guys like them and they are helpful

**martyr5** · 03-23-2011, 06:37 PM

wish these came out two weeks ago. Good vids.

**Paul_2_Oh** · 03-23-2011, 07:43 PM

I start peaking for my first show on Sunday... quite the timing. Thanks Layne!

**wrkoutfrq** · 03-23-2011, 08:11 PM

just watched the whole series... fantastic stuff layne, you really outdid yourself this time.

it was really nice to get the full story instead of patchy advice here and there, thanks!

**str8flexed** · 03-23-2011, 08:15 PM

well it was really bbcom film crew and staff that did a lot of the work. I just showed up, lifted, and talked lol.

**WhiteFiberz** · 03-23-2011, 08:58 PM

This was needed BADLY. Awesome work Layne and thank you!

**masterjackblack** · 03-23-2011, 10:41 PM

This peak week series should be linked at the top of the supersite main page if bb.com isn't planning to.

**str8flexed** · 03-23-2011, 11:18 PM

not sure but I think it will. i also wrote a big 4000 word article to go along with it so i am wondering when they'll put that up

**pumplikecuming** · 03-24-2011, 02:42 AM

Hey Layne I see in the training cardio vid at the end it says to see what you do for training/ cardio look below at bbing.com. I know what you do for training, but whats the cardio routine I can't find it...and the bbing.com guys didn't link it.

**Baeps** · 03-24-2011, 05:56 AM

Cant wait to watch this when I come home from work

Layne u looking so sick'n shredded in that preview!

**fltallpaul** · 03-24-2011, 06:17 AM

I really think they need to update the photo in the first post...that is from what? 2004...switch it to one from this year.

**solid252** · 03-24-2011, 06:55 AM

This may be one of the best articles/series to hit bb.com ever. It is extremely educational and informative for NATURAL competitors and athletes. There are so many myths out there so I am glad this is here for others to read, even more the statements are backed up with FACTS and not empty opinions. Well done Dr. Layne and well done bb.com for putting the time in to make this for us members.

**adamjohn32** · 03-24-2011, 08:12 AM

This is great... Many thanks to BB.com and Dr. Layne Norton.

I'm 9 days out from my first show and am worried now about my sodium intake. I started to sodium load 15 days out as suggested in a previous contest prep article u wrote. increased my sodium from no additional salt to adding a 1/4 tspn. to 5-6 of my meals. should i now continue this amount of sodium up to the show or go back to normal levels? i will not be reducing my water intake as suggested. I am 5'7" 162-165 lbs. at 4-5% bf. Also, with the full body circuits near the end of the week, would I also be hitting legs? Any advice would be appreciated.

with the highest respect,
bigwilllong

if you go back to normal you'll be fine

I spent about 2 hours researching peak week tutorials yesterday morning and ended up befuddled. Without a personal trainer, I have no idea what I'm doing- everything has been an experiment (and peak week was looking to be the same for me). Anyway, right before the gym last night I checked the contest prep section and found this brand new FAQ. Layne, you always seem to pull through! Thanks buddy! BTW, which Vegas Gold's location was that?

**str8flexed** · 03-24-2011, 11:28 AM

that was the gym on sandhill and flamingo, best gym I've ever trained in

**dlemaster** · 03-24-2011, 11:40 AM

Nice series bro. This last prep was definatley the fullest and hardest I've been on stage. Was a pleasure working with you and I'm already looking forward to my next contest prep.
