Every prep is different. There are no absolutes, last prep may take X weeks vs your current prep which takes longer or less. Different methods may need to be applied. That’s the fun part- it’s never the same and it’s always a challenge. Pushing back a show to get stage ready isn’t a failure - it’s a powerful tool and one that can lead to a win. You have a great coach, Ryan, and as a fellow bodybuilder- zero out the noise, continue to trust the process and your coach. If you need to push your show out then heck yes. Regardless- amazing work as always and I miss Ally’s RU-vid’s!! Love ya both!
How is Ryan going to be stage ready in a matter of only 3 weeks? This whole prep seemed to be too aggressive of a cut in my opinion . As a natural, you can’t lose size and weight that fast and expect to retain a lot of muscle as well. He’s going to lose a lot of muscle in the process.
