There is actually a history here, and something I think young coaches getting into the profession need to think about.

My biggest mistake over the last few years was competing too much and training through injuries. Taking time off was probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do.

Something else to steal: my views on how to maintain “bodybuilder status” this holiday season. Yeah, I’ve dramatically changed my opinions on the topic in these past couple of years. Take notes.

So your training is on point, but you still had a lackluster meet? If your nutrition is in check, your rest may be lacking.
