Your contest prep diet has to see you through leaning out while avoiding loss of muscle mass, without shortchanging your health.

Posing

Paul outlines the required and optional poses for your category and gives feedback on technique.

Styling

Professional tips on presentation and styling for your competition’s guidelines.

Mindset

Contest prep can be stressful. Paul helps you build positive strategies for powering through obstacles.
