i would start tapering about 2 weeks out... cut your volume considerably, but make sure to keep the intensity high.

to quote ivan abadjiev on why you should taper volume, but not intensity:

"It is extremely important to maintain the adaptive state and keep the lifter used to the heavy poundage’s that will be experienced on competition day."
