Alberto, Jeff, Brad, and Brian discuss all the costs (financial, time, health, etc.) to consider when planning a contest prep. What are the financial costs associated with prepping for and competing in a bodybuilding show? What is the coaches’ order of operations in terms of when to purchase what over the course of a contest prep? Why do the coaches recommend waiting to sign up for the show you’re planning on competing in? When is a good time to schedule your polygraph test and tan? What costs other than money come with dedicating yourself to the sport of bodybuilding? How do the coaches pick what shows they are going to compete in and how do they help their athletes choose shows? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
