Along with what the others have mentioned here, I’d recommend digest pharma pro by TBJP, I use 1 cap every meal and I 100% notice a difference with it.

No cardio – 20 min fasted walk outside

Quads!
So I was scared going into it, and unsure if I was even going to be able to train – Thursday during my chiropractic adjustment, when he adjusted my left hip I felt a pull/strain in my hip flexor/adductor and it’s been bothering me since. I don’t think it’s anything serious, and it’s not bad pain, I just feel it. So my concern with training was just not wanting to make it worse or turn into something serious. Fortunately I didn’t feel it in any of my moments other than the split squats on the stretch portion. But it was still annoying that it was on my mind and feeling like I was training “timid” mentally.

I didn’t take anything to Michaela level of failure

Cybex hack
I used a reverse band today – I know shame on me lol but it was strictly to take the adductor out of the bottom and honestly it worked like a charm and I felt my sweep like crazy!

It’s just something you have to be patient with and take it by feel! If you feel safe to train then do so. But there is no harm in taking some extra time to let it fully recover!

Do you have a body work therapist you get regular work done with?

I would highly advice seeking a professional in this field and getting some work done with proper physio

I personally always use and prefer liquid sun rays. They do have a self tanning kit available on the website. However, I would recommend going with the company the show has available to you as it will best match the other competitors and they are professionals there to help you!

I do not do pre determined plans leading into a show. It’s all about the look and what the body needs in the moment!

Yes I’d get into maintenance, let body stabilize, and then start pushing up from there. Gauge week to week based on visuals and performance!

I wouldn’t do every movement rest pause like you’re mentioning – If you’re worried about being overly taxed, that’s going to do it just as much as 2 sets

If you’re worried about time either just maximize your one straight set per movement, or change your split to where you can cut back on movements per session
