  • Summary

    In this conversation, AJ Morris discusses the considerations for taking on first-time competitors and the importance of understanding their diet, training, stress, and lifestyle. He emphasizes the need to build tolerance and resilience in athletes to prevent them from hating the sport. AJ also discusses the different bodybuilding categories and how to choose the right one based on an individual's shape and structure. He highlights the importance of managing expectations and being honest with athletes about their potential in the sport. 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.
