The 21-Day Conditioning "Keep"

Summary of phases used by WSC contenders.

Success at the World Slasher Cup requires a precise physical and metabolic peak.

Phase 1: Preparation (Days 1–7)

Focus on deworming and base stamina. Birds are introduced to high-roost fly pens to develop pectoral strength.

Phase 2: The Work (Days 8–17)

Heavy rotation in scratch boxes (banana leaves) for 20 minutes daily. Introduction of B12 supplements and high-protein feed.

Phase 3: The Point (Days 18–21)

Minimal handling. Carbo-loading begins. Weight is monitored to the gram to ensure the bird is "tight" and explosive.
