Contest - Show Prep
This comprehensive 12- to 16-week show prep program is designed to optimize physique, conditioning, and stage presence leading into a bodybuilding competition. The plan includes structured training cycles focused on hypertrophy and conditioning, a tailored nutrition protocol that transitions from bulking to cutting phases, and weekly adjustments based on progress. Key components include resistance training, cardio programming, macronutrient tracking, supplementation guidance, and peak week strategies (including water/sodium manipulation and carb loading). Posing practice and mental preparation are also integrated to ensure competitors bring their best package to the stage.
