Thoughts on when to hit legs before a show...

[Max32]

Hey guys, this is the last piece of the puzzle I am struggling with before junior nationals.... I know the thinking for most is around a week so the blood is completely gone from the leg, the counter arguement, is that you will lose size/fullness. Just want to hear different opinions on this one... My thinking after the Cal is that I want to hit them Sunday or Monday, and actually still include some hack or hammer v squats in there, or at least some leg press supersetted with sissy squats... I know that I will be training back heavy the wednesday before the show, as my back looks a whole hell of a lot better and more detailed days after a heavy workout....thanks guys in advance....

I personally stop working out legs at 1 1/2 weeks out. any sooner and my cuts are still a tad blurry.

I notice that my cross striations are showing far better today than on stage, but, size is down....I am leaning towards sunday, but still not sure...

drop your regular let day the week prior to the show.

I know a guy who stops working legs a month before a show. I don't understand the logic behind that. I'll have to ask him about it.
