Episode Synopsis
In todays episode we bring the you peaking master that is Calum Raistrick. He is the 4th Muscle Mentor to feature on the podcast and with todays episode you're in for a treat.
Calum kicks off the episode by explaining the importance of the 'prep' before the prep. Ensuring that all variables in regards to sleep, stress, recovery, food and health are in alignment before a prep should be under taken. Then we discuss the journey from 20 weeks out right up until the 8 weeks out point: the whole process and potential barriers you might face.
Then I ask Calum about why he runs daily check ins from 8 weeks out and what he is looking to achieve/manage by doing so. He speaks at length the fundamental reasons behind why but ultimate we see his level of care and his emotional support for his clients shine through here.
We then go on to discuss the process from 4 weeks out, the magical 'peak week', the use of diuretics and where to start if you want to become a prep coach.
