In this episode of The Muscle Memoirs Podcast, I am joined by John Jewett and Dr. Guillermo Escalante to go over their most recent competitive season. 

In our conversation, we cover the entire process of bodybuilding contest preparation, including topics such as diet duration, monitoring progress, calorie cycling/refeeds, training split, cardio, protein intake, and peak week protocol.
