## Resource

Say that title 5 times fast!😄 In this episode, we dive into the "pre-prep" phase, the diet before the diet, the unofficial official start of prep or whatever you want to call it for Colby's first bodybuilding season. If you are unfamiliar with this concept, it is essentially a smaller dieting phase done prior to starting an actual competition prep to be in a better position physically and mentally. Prep is not easy and if it is your first time, it is important to come into it with all of your tanks filled up to the brim and with the anticipation of things taking longer and encountering some turbulence along the way. This concept is still relatively new so we thought it would be a good idea to cover why it is important, how to approach it and specifically, how Colby navigated the time leading up to, during and plans for after this phase.
