#291: Optimizing Your Off-Season
Listen to this episode
Summary
Brian, Jeff, Alberto, and Brad discuss how to set up your off-season plan so that you can have the most productive off-season possible. Is it normal to feel unmotivated to train after the end of a contest prep? What advice do the coaches have if you’re feeling this way? Should you increase, decrease, or keep your training volume the same immediately after the final show of your season? The more advanced you become, do you require larger surpluses, or do you benefit just as much if not more from a smaller surplus? How do the coaches recommend setting up your training split? How do you find your ideal off-season body weight? How do the coaches choose which exercises they are going to include in their program? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.

Follow along on his journey through 3d printing, as he navigates the ups and downs, hurdles, profits, losses, and whatever else is in store. He hopes that we can all grow together by working together, asking questions, and being apart of the 3d printing community
