Mark Bell breaks down his preparation for his first bodybuilding show.

Preparing for a bodybuilding show can be a complicated and daunting experience, one that requires an individual to dig deep. Whether it’s fine tuning your nutrition, picking the right workout split, your supplementation, your recovery, there are a great many things that must be taken under consideration to perform successfully.


For powerlifter Mark Bell, dialing in his training and nutrition were both key factors to his performance in his recent bodybuilding debut. It required understanding his body, knowing what he could use for fuel and the right kind of training that would allow him to perform and continue to build and maintain muscle mass.

That said, many people have been more interested in how Mark Bell transformed his physique from a different angle. Namely, many wanted to know what kind of steroid cycle he was on. This in itself could be considered a huge cop out as many will tell that using gear isn’t as important as the hard training and dieting. But you can always expect Mark Bell to be a candid individual and so the powerlifter turned bodybuilder has decided to answer fan questions head on in regards to steroids.
