From my experience, a coach isn’t mandatory at the very start, but guidance definitely helps avoid mistakes. When I began, I trained alone for about a year and made progress, but I later realized my technique and recovery were off. Looking at how structured prep is for competitors, it’s clear that planning matters. Even when researching supplements and different approaches, I found detailed product breakdowns like https://misterolympia.to/product/pharma-test-e-300-pharmacom that helped me understand what advanced athletes consider. Not saying beginners need that, but understanding the bigger picture can keep you realistic. If you can afford even a few sessions with a coach to learn form and programming basics, it can save you months of trial and error.
