In this episode, Jeff Alberts, Alberto Nunez, and Andrea Valdez discuss all the ways contest prep can be (and should be) a terribly difficult experience for bodybuilders to go through.

The trio talks about the physical, social, mental, and emotional tolls that an elongated fat loss phase can take on an individual.

Sure, there are things we can do as athletes and coaches to make this just a little more bearable, but there comes a point in every prep where things get dark and you have to suffer a bit.

The coaches discuss our hard times with food, sleep, hunger, libido, relationships, marriage, body image, stretch marks, and much more.

But not to fear, it's not all sad and depressing, the crew ends the episode with all the things they love about the sport. They take a few minutes to talk why they have decided to endure all the painful negatives, and how they can appreciate those rough times for all that they have contributed to their lives.
