To wrap up the competition season, I invited my lovely wife Crystal to the podcast to share her experience living with me during the last 33 weeks. Those who have followed me for a while know that Crystal is a source of strength and support in my life, and I couldn't have made it through this prep season without her.

 

What we discussed:

 

• Prepping all of my meals and the little annoyances that come along with that (4:50)
• The importance of meal prepping during a competition prep season and Crystal's experience with that over the years (6:48)
• Relationship dynamics during the prep and the challenges we faced (12:11)
• Becoming intimate in different ways when my libido took a dive (18:39)
• Handling the total chaos of running a business and traveling with Rigel (20:29)
• Childcare challenges on the road and the differences between managing Rigel in a controlled environment vs. a public setting (23:22)
• Traveling in the rig vs. flying and which was more convenient (28:39)
• What it was like for Crystal to live with me during the entire competition prep phase and her opinions on the outcome (34:40)
• Focusing on what I'm grateful for and wrapping up this competition season (40:18)
