The Adonis Project // The Pre-Prep Cut Phase // Roundtable

In this episode, Parris, Munene, and Steve share their reflections as they wrap up their "pre-prep" cut - the fat loss phase that kicked off their men's physique competition prep journey - and get ready to enter an extended, 6-week diet break (back to eating at maintenance calories). As usual, discuss the outcomes of this phase, the progress they've experienced so far, and what they hope to get out of the next month. Plus, they talk about the psychology of training in a calorie deficit, and how each of them approached dieting within their individual lifestyles and routines. 00:00 Episode Intro 01:01 Roundtable Welcomes 02:13 Steve's Update & Outcomes 04:58 Munene's Update & Outcomes 07:01 Parris's Initial & Outcomes 08:54 Protocol Updates and Physique Changes 18:23 Flexible Macros and Macro Ranges 20:03 Anticipating a Diet Break 23:34 Psychology of Training in a Deficit 27:19 Steve's Lifestyle Strategies: Shift Work & Fatigue Management 35:31 Munene's Lifestyle Strategies: Little Things to Get Ahead of the Day 38:30 Parris's Lifestyle Strategies: Being Calculated 47:06 Final Thoughts: Keeping Things Consistent ⭐ Follow Us On Instagram ⭐ - Follow Parris - Follow Munene - Follow Steve ⭐ Apply For Coaching ⭐
