Melissa Wolf never intended to compete but after listening to Mind Pump she decided to give it a go. Coached by Adam, she prepared for her first show using MAPS Aesthetic.

Mind you, Melissa is petite, and leading up to her show she ate no less than 1600 calories a day and at times over 2,000. She also did very little cardio.

She went on to win her class and brought home 3 trophies.

In this episode Sal, Adam & Justin discuss her training, diet, prep as well as her effortless transition to normalcy after the event was over. (No binging).

Whether you want to compete or just get your body in tip-top shape this episode is loaded with actionable advice.
