Three things I wish someone had told me before starting Bodybuilding

After 8 months of Bodybuilding I want to share what I wished I'd known at the start.

First: the physical and mental brutality of peak week — it hits earlier and harder than the internet suggests. Budget for it practically and mentally. Second: the resistance bands you buy first will probably be wrong — ask your coach before spending money. Third: stage presence is the foundation everything else builds on, but it looks boring from the outside. Resist the temptation to rush toward advanced peak week water manipulation before the fundamentals are solid.

how posing transforms the look of your physique is the reward for getting through all of that. It's worth it.
