Today I talk to Peter Fitschen; a natural pro bodybuilder & PhD in nutritional sciences. First, we'll catch up with Peter to hear how his offseason has been going, including how often he’s hitting personal records and the ways he tracks his progress. Before diving into all things training whilst dieting and specifically how to manage the tail end of a contest prep. How can we expect our performance to go in the gym & how can we do our best to maintain it. Whether you’re preparing for a competition or just looking to optimise your training during a dieting phase, this episode is packed with valuable advice.
