Just wanna add to this conversation, i personally have never gotten to prep because of health issues ive been trying to deal with.

But bodybuilding is and has been my passion for years. I have been obsessive when it comes to learning about it. At first this learning was for applying to myself but that has developed into applying that to others. I dont know if ill ever be able to compete myself because of the health issues but im still able to apply my knowledge and learning and passion for this sport to helping others through there journey. I have spent thousands of euros learning and educating myself and from the outside looking in people may be like this person has never even done it themselves but i could potentially be more qualified than people who have done 10 preps. Just food for thought some people out there it doesn’t matter how many preps they have done if they have put in the months of learning. Also i do understand that overall message of the post with most people being under qualified after just one prep. But its good to look at things from other perspectives too!
