In this episode I sit down and chat with athlete, contest prep coach and my old friend from when I last did this whole bodybuilding thing, AJ Morris.

It’s been 9 years since we last did one of these and it’s been great to reconnect with AJ.

AJ has a depth of wisdom far beyond his years which makes him such a valuable voice in the natural bodybuilding community. He’s been coaching since he was a teen and his knowledge really shines here.

In this episode we chat about some of the most overlooked aspects of prep, some things that athletes place too much emphasis on, the kind of individuals that are drawn to bodybuilding and much more.

There’s a lot of great information to be taken from this episode, you won’t want to miss this one!

It was a pleasure to sit down and chat with Pro World Champion, p.t/coach and my old contest prep client Ben Lloyd.

This episode felt very much like sitting down with an old friend! I knew Ben before he rose to the very top of natural bodybuilding and he’s as humble and down to earth now as he was then. It’s very refreshing to see.

In this episode we chat about our time together as coach & client, his training and how it’s evolved over the years, his fantastic 2024 season as well as his future plans.

The latest episode of Beyond The Muscle is now live.

It’s a mini episode this time as I reflect on my 2024 bodybuilding season.

It was fun to review the season a couple of months after the fact. The feelings you feel in the moment take on a different flavour when not in the heat of the moment.

I review the package we brought to each show as well as things I learned along the way, mistakes I made and things I need to work on in the future.

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down and chat with Darren Shepherd-Loxton.

Darren has been involved with bodybuilding for almost 2 decades, both as a competitor and a contest prep and posing coach.

We chat about various topics in this episode. From posing, contest prep, mindset and training, Darren’s knowledge, experience and passion really shine and he makes some incredibly valuable points. I could’ve sat down with him for hours chatting bodybuilding!

It was great to sit down and chat with WNBF judge and NPA Midlands overall champion Kristian Kerr.

Kristian is known for his stellar conditioning and we discuss that in this episode and the strategies he uses to achieve that look.

We also reflect on his 2024 season having been away from the sport for 6 years as well as how his training has changed over the years.

We touch on his experience as a judge and how bodybuilding has grown since he last stepped on stage.
