When it comes to Will Tennyson’s bodybuilding preparation, he starts by stepping on the scale and mentions that he has lost around 30 pounds in his pursuit of getting lean enough to be bodybuilding contest ready. I want to make note that people shouldn’t allow their day to be determined by the number they see on the scale. This is because weight can fluctuate greatly due to many factors including whether or not you’ve eaten, how hydrated you are, and even what time of day you are weighing yourself. Whether the number is higher or lower than you are expecting, it shouldn’t determine your mood because there are still changes you can continue to make to get yourself to where you want.
Will then goes over his morning routine before the gym where he puts on his posing trunks and sends physique check-ins to his coach. This highlights an issue that I find very prevalent in the bodybuilding community; body dysmorphia. Will comments that he feels like he looks flat and depleted, despite his extremely lean and muscular physique. He even states that he feels he is a higher body fat percentage than he really is and that it contributes to him feeling less than stellar mentally. Obviously, anyone on the outside looking in would say that Will looks great! Extremely lean and quite muscular. This psychological effect is a real concern for anyone in the bodybuilding community and can actually lead to habits that are unhealthy both physically and mentally. It’s important to keep things in perspective and to realize that not everything we see in the mirror is reality. Sometimes, we need to take a step back and revaluate what we are looking at.
Will Tennyson then mentions more psychological effects from his bodybuilding prep where he goes onto say that he doesn’t really enjoy going to the gym and training anymore. He states that he has to mentally prepare himself for his chest, back & biceps day. I think it’s safe to say, when you are in a physically and mentally depleted state, asking yourself to engage in that kind of work out is asking for a lot. It might be easier to focus on a single muscle group at a time so that way you have enough energy the next time around to engage with another muscle group. With his current workout split, there is some carryover between muscle groups, in this case the back and biceps. What this means is that less work is needed, directly, for the biceps which also means lower daily workout volume. Trying to tackle a high volume workout in such a depleted state is asking a lot of your body, something it may not be prepared to handle.
From here, Will mentions that he has lost strength and muscle during his cut, but it doesn’t discourage him from having the same mindset of attacking his workout and that by treating it with the same intensity, he will get more out of his workouts. This is interesting because while you may not get the same output in terms of performance, you can still give a high effort and bring the necessary intensity to continue to build muscle in the process. It becomes clear that preparing for a bodybuilding competition is a mental prep as well as a physical prep. By maintaining the right mindset and outlook on everything can make all the difference in the world between success and failure.
