Don't Make These Contest Prep Mistakes Before Peak Week | J3U Podcast Ep. 241
Most competitors don't lose their physique during peak week, they lose it in the month leading up to the show.
In this episode, we break down the biggest mistakes bodybuilders make during the final four weeks of contest prep, including rushing fat loss, making emotional decisions, changing drugs unnecessarily, overdoing posing, and mismanaging training fatigue. If you want to bring your best physique to the stage, this episode will help you avoid the mistakes that cost competitors their best look.
