#21: Off-Season Programming

In this episode, Alberto Nunez, Brad Loomis, and Andrea Valdez talk about how to invest in a proper natural bodybuilding off-season.

Many people find it quite easy to determine how to get someone shredded, right? You do the best you can to lose body fat while maintaining muscle. Pretty straightforward.

But what to do afterwards or between those dieting seasons is what people really struggle with.

How do you make sure to get the most out of your hard work? What are some strategies and practices that you can use to ensure that all of your food and training are being accounted for? How do you INVEST in your off-season rather than SPENDING your time spinning your wheels?

The coaches talk about ways you can keep yourself from either gaining too much fat or keeping calories so limited that you are unable to actually make any measurable progress.
