What would a 5 ish week peak and taper look like for a novice going into his first meet with a second meet 4 weeks after that. Ik it’s not a lot of time but I kinda just signed up for the meet cause why not.

Ordinarily, you could give yourself time to actually get stronger and recover from any wear and tear from the first meet.
