Physique Competition Prep in Costa Rica

Contest prep is the most technical project in physique sport, and the most punished when improvised. Maddy's prep coaching follows the evidence-based playbook: a long runway, fat loss paced at roughly 0.5–1% of body weight per week to protect stage muscle — the range recommended in the contest-preparation literature — and a peak week of small, rehearsed adjustments rather than dramatic stunts. Prep starts from an honest audit: your current condition, your show date, and whether the math between them is realistic. If it is not, he will tell you before you pay for a fantasy. Training holds heavy to defend muscle while calories fall, posing practice is scheduled like a session because it is one, and check-ins run weekly with photos, weight trend, and recovery markers. Prep is demanding by nature — it is not a first fat-loss plan, and anyone with a difficult history around food or a relevant medical condition should clear it with a professional first.

The method — how Maddy coaches this

• Honest runway audit first: current condition versus show date — if the math is unrealistic, you hear it early.
• Fat loss paced at roughly 0.5–1% of body weight per week, the range the contest-prep literature supports.
• Training stays heavy through prep to defend muscle while calories fall.
• Posing practised on a schedule from early in prep — it is a session, not an afterthought.
• Peak week kept boring on purpose: small, rehearsed adjustments, no dehydration stunts.

Who this is for:

• First-time competitors who want a prep run by numbers and photos instead of panic.
• Returning competitors whose last prep cost too much muscle, health, or sanity to repeat.
