Fitness hills I’ll die on 🙌

Another prep post but this time featuring my favourite person who’s done the steps cardio and posing with me and made the whole thing so much more enjoyable 🖤

While I’m always happy to share my journey, please don’t compare your fat loss journey to someone else’s contest prep

Bodybuilding is a sport

The goal of contest prep is to present the leanest possible physique on one specific day

That is completely different from a normal fat loss phase

Your fat loss journey should fit into your life. It should still allow you to work, train, recover, socialise and function like a normal human

Contest prep eventually becomes the opposite

And let’s be completely honest, being this lean feels like s**t 😂

It might look impressive in photos, but it comes with more hunger, less energy, more fatigue, lower libido and very little flexibility

This condition is not sustainable, nor would I ever want to maintain it

Stage lean is for the stage

So please don’t look at someone in contest prep and think you need to eat less, do more cardio or push your body further

You aren’t behind and you aren’t doing it wrong

You’re simply working towards a completely different goal
