Episode 34: Dr. Eric Helms and Laurin Conlin: Female Post Contest Recovery

Episode 34: Dr. Eric Helms and Laurin Conlin: Female Post Contest Recovery   In this episode of J3 University, Luke and I are joined by Dr. Eric Helms and Laurin Conlin for a discussion on how to recover females from the rigors of Contest Prep. We cover how setting up a client before a prep even begins is crucial in the prep and post contest phases. What happens physiologically and psychological over a prep and what are the issues entering the post show period to resolve. Within the post show period we aim to transition clients from a regimented approach to a more sustainable one and discuss the strategies used to do so.     Timestamps   Introducing Eric Helms & Laurin Conlin- 00:00:14   Energy Availability/Metabolic Adaptation- 00:01:58   Setting yourself up for a successful prep- 00:08:59   Menstrual cycle return post dieting- 00:15:50   Post Show and Long term planning- 00:19:18   The first weeks Post Show and Recovery Diet- 00:26:20   Training Performance and Body Image- 00:40:50   Sustainable Approach- 00:52:07   Where to find Laurin Conlin and Eric Helms- 01:04:27   Laurin Conlin: www.teamlocofit.com Podcast: The LoCoFit Show @teamlocofit @laurinconlin   Eric Helms: www.3dmusclejourney.com Podcast: Iron Culture @team3dmg @helms3dmj     J3 UNIVERSITY: http://j3university.com FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/J3-University-103894631667528 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/johnjewett3/   Luke Miller INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/noswitchfitness/?hl=en Luke Miller coaching: https://noswitchfitness.com/contact/
