Coaching for Bodybuilding Competitions vs. Maintenance

Brad and Alberto go into detail about what to expect when prepping for a bodybuilding competition, the importance of having people you trust to give you honest feedback on how you're acting, and some of their top tips for a successful prep. How does prep help you learn more about yourself and become a better version of yourself? Should you chase feelings of hunger? How do the coaches recommend dealing with the common side effects of prep such as being overly preoccupied with food, sleep deprivation, and decreased sex drive? How can the recovery process differ between those who never plan to compete again and those who plan to return to the stage? The answers to these questions and many more are discussed in this episode.
