Back at home base after Bali, the boys recap the trip, recovery sessions, getting sick on the way home, and why the retreat seems to have reignited the fire for training. From post-Bali momentum and better routines to comparison in the improvement season, supplement basics, sleep structure and the biggest nutrition mistakes athletes still make in prep, this one covers a lot of ground.

We cover:
✅ Post-Bali reflections — the new gym setup, recovery session, cold plunge, sauna and why the retreat worked so well
✅ MG’s update: baby nearly here, health in a great place, and why training motivation is back at an all-time high
✅ MT’s Bali bug aftermath, antibiotics, appetite crash and how quickly things can go downhill after travel
✅ How to handle comparison in the improvement season by filtering feedback through qualification, actionability and long-term relevance
✅ Basic daily supplements the boys would prioritise: vitamin D3, magnesium, fish oil, probiotics, plus why creatine is still king
✅ Iron deficiency, infusions vs supplementation, and how lifestyle, sleep and food quality affect blood markers more than people realise
✅ Favourite upper and lower compound lifts right now — from shoulder pressing and rows to SLDLs, V-squats and good mornings
✅ What athletes think matters in prep but actually doesn’t — and why sleep gets ignored while “sleep hacks” get overhyped
✅ Why your day really starts the night before: brain dumps, no-phone blocks, journaling, gratitude and protecting down-regulation
✅ Biggest nutrition mistakes in prep — inaccurate tracking, eyeballing “little things,” overusing sugar-free extras, and ignoring nutrient quality

🎧 Back from Bali talking recovery, routines, supplements, sleep and the prep mistakes that still hold athletes back.
