In this episode, I sit down with BPN athlete Luke Hopkins, a pro natural bodybuilder and hybrid athlete currently training for an Ironman. He recently graduated from USC with a degree in neuroscience. Luke shares how a positive mindset and psychological strategies impact high-level sport performance. He and I cover the physical and mental challenges of Ironman training, the importance of progressive overload, and the benefits of group training. This conversation is all about pacing, setting realistic goals, and the balance between training and daily life, with insights from both of our personal experiences.
