Brian, Brad, and Alberto discuss why getting yourself in a good position to prep is so important, what a good starting position looks like, and what they are currently doing to prepare for their 2024 season. Why are the coaches planning and preparing for the stage a year out? What are Brad, Brian, and Alberto's plans for their 2024 season? How far above stage weight do the coaches recommend starting prep? Ideally, as you get closer to the stage, should you be losing more or less weight per week compared to when you were further away? Is it possible to spread a season out too far? What new strategies are the coaches thinking about incorporating in their upcoming prep? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
