Support and feedback welcome as always!

WE ARE BACK

Very long overdue return to the podcast for us both. There's been a lot going on for each of us which we will bring you all up to speed with in this higher production quality format, which we will continue to upgrade over the coming weeks.

Today we went through some more intricacies of prep, competing and comparing yourself on social media. We did have some tech issues and only captured 22mins of the 50 we spoke for, but that gives us more to talk about next time Please like and subscribe - Your support is always appreciated!

Josh took us through the protocols and considerations that should be at the forefront of our minds as coaches with regards structuring a peak week.

Welcome our very esteemed guest, Dr. Scott Stevenson

We've had the pleasure of being joined by Scott today to help us learn the unavoidable reality of genetic limitations and how to interpret research in a way that can serve us. As always, there are a few tangential conversations that we delve into and was a pleasure to be a part of!

I highly recommend anyone to purchase Scotts book as I had done years ago.

We had the pleasure of having mr. Joe Jeffery on the podcast today discussing when, what and how much drugs to use for your first exposure to PEDs should you wish to go down this path. We also discussed potential implications and alternative pathways and drugs available you may consider instead of or alongside these drugs.

Joined by Mr Zac Fotheringham, we discussed getting the most from your clients. Though this is from a coaches perspective - this is something for clients and aspiring athletes to understand. The psychology and importance of communicating through the inevitably tough times. Understanding the level of flexibility comes down to your ownership and calculated risk of each decision you make. Very insightful stuff from an incredible athlete and coach. Thanks for coming on Zac! Find him here : https://www.instagram.com/zac_teamprocoach/?hl=en @Zac_teamprocoach on IG

Today we had the pleasure of being joined by miss Chloe Pickford, aka CPT Fitness. Chloe is an incredible athlete and coach in her own right having won PCA British Championships back in 2018 and since then devoted an incredibly productive improvement phase to make significant improvements to her physique and being a stand-out British Wellness competitor, currently 7 Weeks out from her first show of the season. We discussed the positive impact that taking such time away from competing has effected the differences of her previous preps compared to this as well as scaling her own coaching business in the meantime. A thoroughly enjoyable chat, be sure to follow her IG (@CPT_Fitness) for context and to keep up to date with her incredible journey,
