#35: Why Prep Sucks

In this week’s podcast, Andrea, Jeff and Alberto talk all things prep. Prep is an amazing journey that not only transforms your body, but also your mind. You learn all about yourself both from a nutritional standpoint, as well as a deeper understanding of your own psychology. Although prep has these wonderful benefits, plus many more, it also has its fair share of tough moments and stressful trials, which is exactly what the group talks about here today.

What does it feel like to be 5 lbs away from your stage-weight? How does the importance of meal timing increase as you get leaner? What is each of the coach’s own personal least favorite part of prep?

Along with answering these questions, the group also get into some detailed conversations regarding: the treatment of our significant other during prep, how our flaws become amplified, and the altered relationship with food that happens with so many, and for some, lasts much longer than the post-contest recovery period.
