In this conversation, AJ Morris and Lawrence discuss various aspects of bodybuilding, including the pursuit of the sport, the importance of enjoyment and commitment, the value of the process, planning a contest prep, diet breaks and refeeds, mini-cuts and rapid fat loss, and modifying training during prep.
Takeaways
Bodybuilding requires a high level of commitment and enjoyment to be successful.
Winning a show is not the only measure of success in bodybuilding; the journey and the mastery of the craft are equally important.
Planning a contest prep involves estimating the amount of weight to be lost, setting a timeline, and controlling the rate of loss.
Diet breaks and refeeds can be beneficial for psychological and physiological reasons during a prep.
Mini-cuts may be necessary for individuals who start their prep in a soft condition, and a faster rate of loss may be appropriate.
Training during prep should be adjusted based on performance feedback, with a focus on retaining muscle and managing fatigue.
