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.
