In this episode of The General Muscle Podcast, Lawrence sits down with the one and only Dr. Mike Israetel to discuss training, recovery, and the evolving landscape of bodybuilding. Mike shares an update on his own training journey following surgery and reflects on what might motivate him to step on stage again. The conversation explores how bodybuilders can balance training “feel” with measurable progress in the logbook, when outside sports or activities begin to interfere with hypertrophy, and how to overcome stubborn muscle groups through smart programming. Finally, they look ahead to the future of bodybuilding — diving into topics like AI, myostatin blockers, and genetic modification — and what these advances could mean for the next generation of athletes.

In Part 4 of The General Muscle Podcast’s bodybuilding rehab series, Lawrence is joined once again by Nick, Mike, and James to break down everything you need to know about subacromial shoulder pain — what it is, what to call it, and what it really means for patients and lifters. They cover the key clinical tests physios use to assess shoulder issues, when imaging is actually necessary, and red flags that might suggest pain is coming from somewhere else. The team also dives into practical modifications for common lifts that often aggravate shoulder pain — including bench presses, shoulder presses, rows, pulldowns, and lateral raises — plus evidence-informed rehab strategies to keep shoulders strong and resilient.

This week, Lawrence is joined by Hudson for his long awaited return. The two don't necessarily have a set agenda for this one, they just hit record and started talking. The name of this mini-series "On The Bus" comes from the many journeys these two shared on the 209 bus from UQ to Carindale, which is where a lot of these conversations were had.
