Live from Bali with the retreat crew in the room, this one is part chaos, part community, part coaching deep-dive. Between giraffes, jelly beans and Waterbom stories, the boys reflect on how far the podcast has come, answer questions from the live audience, and dig into comparison, sickness, women’s health, gym accessories and whether competing again is actually on the cards.

We cover:
✅ How the Prep Coach Podcast grew into something far bigger than expected — and why this community means so much
✅ The story of how MG, MT and Scotty met, and how TMG Physiques came to life
✅ Off-season comparison traps — genetics, density, social media, AI edits and why you can’t compare your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s highlight reel
✅ Returning to training after Bali belly or a stomach bug — what to eat first, when to train again, and how to avoid resetting the whole process
✅ Why white rice, low fibre and easy-to-digest foods matter more than “perfect macros” when your gut is wrecked
✅ Why face-to-face coaching experience still matters for online coaches — movement quality, communication, psychology and practical programming
✅ Lying vs seated leg extensions and whether hip angle changes quad hypertrophy enough to matter in the real world
✅ Must-have gym accessories vs nice-to-have extras — straps, belts, sleeves, shoes, cuffs and more
✅ Whether the boys will compete again, what divisions/federations tempt them, and if they’d support their kids stepping on stage
✅ Coaching women through peri-menopause and menopause, and why you still need to nail basics before chasing quick-fix solutions
✅ The retreat so far — favourite moments, best sessions, and why the recovery work has been such a standout

🎧 A fun, live Bali episode covering community, coaching, comparison and everything in between.
