Maintenance Phases as a Bodybuilder
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome Back to The Beyond Condition Podcast for a Solo Episode.
A lot of bodybuilders obsess over growing and dieting - but a sometimes overlooked secret to long-term progress is mastering maintenance. In this episode, I break down what a true maintenance phase looks like, how to set calories and macros, and why 'holding the line' can be your most productive block of the year.
Discussions Include:
- Defining maintenance: performance-stable calories, bodyweight ranges, biofeedback markers
- How to find your maintenance intake
- Training during maintenance: Fuelling enough to yield training performance
- Using maintenance to resensitise to volume and nutrition for your next growth phase or diet
- Managing hunger, NEAT, sleep, and stress without the mental load of a deficit or surplus
- Why you can still recomposition at 'maintenance'
- Lifestyle wins: social flexibility, travel, deloads, and shaping sustainable habits
Whether you’re coming off a diet, needing to step back during a growth phase, or just need a physiological and psychological reset, this episode gives you a practical playbook for turning maintenance into momentum.
