In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked emotional (psychological) and physical (physiological) rollercoaster that follows intense bodybuilding Comp Preps.

We explore 'Post-Comp Blues' - that unexpected slump athletes face after giving their all, who can't help but wonder:

"Well...what's next?? What now??"
"I want to maintain my conditioning but I also want to grow"
"I don't want to restrict myself anymore"
"I want life flexibility but I don't want to blow out"
"Maybe I should compete again next season or next year"
"I need to set some new goals ASAP or I'll get bored and distracted"

Learn about the potential psychological impacts of your reversal and discover practical strategies for moving through a reverse more smoothly - or simply learning how to accept and forgive yourself more often through this phase.

This discussion on reversal and recovery will help you navigate the mental and physical struggles of post-show "come down" and emerge stronger during your current reverse OR even for your next Comp Prep to come.
