#318: Post-Season Blues

<p>Alberto and Brian discuss how athletes commonly feel after their bodybuilding season is over and what you can do to get back to feeling like yourself as soon as possible. What are some strategies to help minimize post-season blues? How normal is it to not feel like yourself physiologically after prep is over? What is the thing that most lets Brian know how recovered he is? Why do the coaches want their athletes to have other things going on while they’re prepping? What frequently stops people from gaining the weight they know they probably need to gain? Why don’t the coaches recommend reverse dieting at a slow pace after your season is over? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong></p><p><strong>0:00-</strong> Introduction</p><p><strong>2:44-</strong> The coaches’ first preps </p><p><strong>11:39-</strong> How normal is it to not feel like yourself physiologically after prep is over? </p><p><strong>21:32-</strong> The redistribution of body fat when you first start gaining weight after prep </p><p><strong>22:44-</strong> Expect to overshoot </p><p><strong>31:56-</strong> Post-season blues </p><p><strong>40:32-</strong> Why gaining weight after your season is over is so important and framing to help make gaining weight easier </p><p><strong>53:24-</strong> There is an element of experience to getting shredded </p><p><strong>1:01:26-</strong> Additional tips </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Selected Links From This Episode</strong></p><p>Coaching By Team 3DMJ- <a href="https://3dmusclejourney.com/coaching/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://3dmusclejourney.com/coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p>The Off-Season Mastery Course- <a href="https://www.3dmusclejourney.com/off-season">https://www.3dmusclejourney.com/off-season</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Thanks for listening to The 3D Muscle Journey Podcast 💪</strong> </p><p>GET COACHING AND COURSES - <a href="https://www.3dmusclejourney.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.3dmusclejourney.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Watch our show on YouTube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/team3dmj">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/team3dmj</a></p>
