Boxing Day Reflections

Boxing Day is here, presenting us with more chances to pause and reflect.

As bodybuilders, we are accustomed to structure and routine. With clear goals in sight, it’s easy to become narrow-minded; perhaps this Christmas feels like uncharted territory for you.

I want to be with you as much as possible.

Welcome Back to The Beyond Condition Podcast.

Join me for a solo episode inspired by a recent conversation about...

'I know I should train, but I've lost all motivation'

I recently had a conversation with a competitor after her season ended. Following my Instagram post about transitioning back into training after a diet phase I received a question that could resonate with you. She asked, 'How do you return to training post-season? I dread it; I constantly feel fatigued.' In this episode, I aim to share valuable thought processes for anyone facing a similar challenge, whether it’s after the season or for another reason altogether.

Topics Discussed:

• The Post Show 'DUMP'
• Physiological Effects During and Post Prep
• Training Considerations for Your Reverse Out
• Gaining Support

I hope you enjoy this episode, and as always, thank you for your continued support.

Welcome Back to The Beyond Condition Podcast.

Join me for a solo episode inspired by a recent conversation about...

'How do you gain stage presence, confidence and posing'

As bodybuilders, we often find ourselves focused on daily progress. While this mindset certainly fosters success, could enhancing your approach bring more overall enjoyment from your pursuit? This thought arose during a client check-in. While providing feedback, I recognised that this could be an excellent topic to discuss on the podcast.

Topics Discussed:

• Posing Practise
• Learning Stage Presence
• Building Posing as a Habit
• Show Day

I hope you enjoy this episode, and as always, thank you for your continued support.
