CRAIG PRODUCTIONS LLC

You're now four weeks out from your big day and the Ironman. It's never too early to start planning for the actual show day and all the things you need to have with you at the show. Most bodybuilders have their "pre-contest" rituals in addition to their dieting, training, cardio, and posing. I for one, am a planner and very "routine" oriented. I like to have things well organized on the day of the show, and know that I've got everything I need to be stage ready. One tool that I give my clients (and have been doing so since 1990) and that I like to use consistently is my Contest Bag Checklist. I've created lists for both male and female bodybuilders (needs vary slightly) as well as the figure competitors. The checklist takes the guess work out of making sure that you've got everything in your bag for the show, and that nothing gets left behind. We all know that carb-depletion takes it's toll on our brains and memories, so having the list is definitely a big help in ensuring that nothing important gets left behind. Having worked behind the scenes at many shows - as well as competing myself, I've seen one too many competitors get to the show and are missing their music, forgot to put their posing oil in the bag, or didn't pack any pump-up food. This just adds additional stress to what should be a fun time and one that you are well prepared for and enjoying. For any of you that would like to have a copy of my Contest Bag Checklist, please feel free to contact me at: www.gerridavis.com and click on the contact button on my site. You can email me from there, and I'll be happy to share my list with you.
