#183: The Habits of Highly Effective Preps

3D Muscle Journey

Steve, Alberto, and Eric discuss habits that make contest preps easier and more successful.

What is one factor that influences whether someone gains or loses weight during a refeed or diet break? Why do we continue to do a certain behavior even when we don't want to? What advice do the coaches have on food choices during prep? How do the coaches feel about a less structured approach vs. a more structured approach to eating during prep? What is a gaintenance phase ?

The answers to these questions, plus many more are covered in this episode.
