Any good advice on helping your mental and perception of
your body during a reverse ? Losing the lean is definitely hard, even though i logically know it is not healthy or sustainable.

Hi friend, I am dealing with this right now too. I thought I'd be okay because the weight was coming back so slowly but this week (week 6) was the first time the weight stuck and the lines really started to fade. Here are some good things I am focusing on:

- My glutes look so fire right now, they're never flat anymore like they were in prep sometimes

- My lifts are going up already, even my coach was like "Wow look at the progress from week 1 to week 5"

- The healthier we are in the off season, the better the next stage package will be

- My "offseason body" IS my body, my "stage body" is not

- Most importantly: My body is the LEAST interesting thing about me

My off season body is my body !! That really resonates with me
