S10 EP14: Bodybuilding: The Good, the Bad, and the Functional


Listen Later

In today's episode we talk about traditional bodybuilding, the go-to training for aesthetic based changes in body composition. Yes, we have qualms with the methodology, with the dieting, and with the huge focus on body fat that can lead to disordered body image & eating habits.. BUT!

 We aren’t here to bash bodybuilding. There's some GREAT stuff about it!: The tempo…slowing it down is invaluable for all things! The focus on form with slow and deliberate movements..and isolation has benefits and creates a mind-muscle connection. And the PUMP! The pump is real! When you take the good from bodybuilding and leave out the bad (like 6 inch heels) you are left with functional bodybuilding. And that’s what we are talking about! You can get the aesthetic without the injury. We’ve done the lifting and dropping for you and want to tell you about our new functional TTSL bodybuilding cycle. It’s for everyone, yes YOU.
