Importance of Good Nutrition in Bodybuilding

One red flag when hiring a bodybuilding coach is if they immediately put you on cardio when starting prep. This is a common practice among coaches, but it can lead to muscle loss and hormonal imbalances. A better approach is to focus on building a strong, healthy body in the off-season, with a higher calorie intake and proper nutrition. This sets the stage for a successful and sustainable prep, without resorting to excessive cardio or restrictive diets.
