Reasons For The Seasons
Hey FitBody Fam! This episode explores the purpose and importance of the bodybuilding “seasons”—both the improvement season and the prep season. Jami and Greg discuss how to maximize both phases and keep a sustainable, balanced lifestyle.
Key takeaways:
1. Prep Season: Prep season is all about focus and sacrifice. With a clear end date, it’s easier to maintain discipline as you fine-tune your physique for the stage. This phase involves intense cardio, strict nutrition, and minimizing other life commitments to make space for competition prep.
2. The Beauty of Prep: It provides a sense of clarity and a specific deadline, which can actually make it feel easier to stick to the plan despite the hard work.
3. Improvement Season: Unlike prep, improvement season can feel challenging because there’s no specific end date. This phase is about growth and building muscle, but it’s also a time to incorporate more flexibility and maintain balance with the rest of your life.
