Dear Serge,

I understand that you ate 3-4kg meat every day as you approached your competition. That is tough, no doubt, but that high protein diet is pretty universal with all bodybuilders when ripping down.

How did you eat in the offseason though? When building up? There are stories of bodybuilders, like Sergio Olivia, who ate just anything in the offseason to get big and strong, without any nutritional plan or the like. Same, apparently, goes to Arnold. You could see him toast and three eggs in his videos sometimes, which somehow indicates that he didn't care too much.

Did you eat instinctively during that time or systematically?

With best regards from Vienna,
Pector
