Beyond The Muscle Podcast

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.

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.
