Meet Prep Guidance - Weight Cut and Peak Week

[sooghs]

Hi BBM Team!

I hope you all are doing well.

I'm currently running the Powerlifting II template going into my meet on 9/25 (USPA SoCal Drug-Tested Open). I will be competing in the Men's 67.5 kg class and am currently maintaining my weight at 68.5 kg. I had a few brief questions related to my meet prep that I was hoping you all could answer:

1. With only 1% of my BW to lose before the comp, is there a meaningful difference between losing that weight now and losing it, say, 2-3 weeks before the meet?
   • If it makes any difference, there is a 24-hour weigh-in.
2. My meet is on a Saturday. On Week 13, should I do:
   • Day 1 on Monday
   • Day 2 on Tuesday
   • Rest until Saturday?

Thanks so much,
Aidan

Aidan.

Very cool, man. Looking forward to seeing how you do!

1) I don't think it matters given how close you are.
2) This is mostly personal preference, but I'd do Day 1 on Monday, day 2 on Weds, weigh-in Friday, compete Saturday.
