Through the power of friendship we're combining our academic experience earning PhD's through some of the top researchers in the exercise science field with our years of experience coaching and helping people reach their muscle growth, fat loss, and strength goals, and our own experience as lifters ourselves - and the result is this podcast. We'll explore training and nutrition through research and hands-on experience with an emphasis on authenticity and transparency, and lots of fun anime and other nerdy references along the way.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-training-arc-7065004"},"episode":{"title":"Promote Progress Prioritising Pre-Prep Positioning Podcast: Episode 21","slug":"promote-progress-prioritising-pre-prep-positioning-podcast-episode-21","published_at":"2025-03-12T19:57:57+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-training-arc-7065004/promote-progress-prioritising-pre-prep-positioning-podcast-episode-21","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-training-arc-7065004","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-training-arc-podcast/episodes/Promote-Progress-Prioritising-Pre-Prep-Positioning-Podcast-Episode-21-e3032vm","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/fc38b31c/podcast/play/99764662/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-2-12%2F396460412-44100-2-20f8ed11cd679.m4a","summary":"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.
