In powerlifting, peaking is the process when you maximize your strength and preparedness for a specific time like a powerlifting meet. Then a taper lowers the overall training load to aid recovery. The process of doing a peak and taper allows you to test your strength beforehand then be ready and your strongest on the day of the competition, so you can have the greatest one-rep max. Below I am sharing my best lifts from my peak week, along with a screenshot of my taper that is seen at the end of my schedule.
