Oscar's Sparse Competition History
Oscar turned pro at his first show in 2018, then largely stepped away until re-earning pro status in 2022.
He competes sparingly because prep disrupts family life and his job, so competing is optional for him.

Prioritize Frequency And Contraction
Train prioritized body parts frequently while respecting recovery and focus on contraction rather than max load every set.
Use experimentation with angles and rep ranges to find movements that target your muscle best.

Do Fewer Quality Sets As You Age
Reduce overall volume as you age but make sets count by taking them to failure on key lifts.
Ben uses shorter ~1-hour sessions with fewer sets but maximal effort on main exercises.
