seems to work the best for me and especially for a guy doing it himself who doesn't have all this you know all these other competitors that they've dieted down and you know have all the experience and stuff it's like well it's much easier if you keep it simple and watch your body change and just kind of maintain it that way.

And then you don't have to do the car, the depletion and stuff like that.

I mean, when I did the West Coast this year, it was the easiest prep I've ever done.

It was amazing. Yeah, you know, with bodybuilding it has a very specific, there's very specific path and if you talk to veteran bodybuilders and you know you ask them kind of newbie questions they're like

They just shake their head like no no kid like that's not the way it works

It's hard to understand because especially this day and age there's so much new information

flying at your face all the time about branch chain amino acids and intermittent fasting and

fish oil and just you just see all these things right

But when you talk to the old timers they're they'll talk to you very kind of calm

very slow and I'll say no it's six meals a day and you're going to have your

protein your carbs and fats it's going to be broken down a little differently

for some people but in most cases we're going to strip away a lot of the fat that

you're going to eat and we're going to probably keep the protein very high and

the carbs is where we get some individual depending on how much somebody

trains or how much cardio somebody needs their background like if you're a

fat kid maybe you're not eating as many carbs right but that's and and to a day training is very common

whether it's both for lifting or for lifting and cardio and like that's the recipe and there's,

it doesn't get any more complicated than that,

but it's very hard to do all that.

It is, it is, just a lot of work.

I always, you know, it really is like,

your mind has to be there.
