The Truth Behind The Post-Show Rebound
There's been a myth circulating for a long time that after your contest prep phase for a bodybuilding show, or after a hard fat loss phase in general, THAT is when you're most primed to experience your highest rate of building muscle. And logically, it kinda makes sense. The problem with bodybuilding is that logic and the human body often have a disconnect, and this is one of those cases. If you cut HARD, you're primed to do ANYTHING but grow once that phase is done. In this episode of The Drop Set I break down why that is, what you can do about it, and how to know when it IS in fact the right time to focus on that shift into a muscle building phase. 0:00 - Cold Open 1:59 - What's coming up 2:43 - How hard was your prep? 3:46 - Things we're concerned with 10:23 - Why this rebound phase isn't optimal 14:06 - Self-assessment 20:33 - Long-term thinking 27:57 - A 3-Pronged solution Call in and leave a question!
