In this first full episode of The Macro Lounge Podcast, Rachel and Chris introduce themselves, their journeys into bodybuilding and bikini competing, and how they ended up starting a podcast that will probably never stick to the plan (sorry, Producer Bubsickle).

They chat about Rachel’s journey from competitive swimmer to world champion bikini competitor and bikini designer, and Chris’s decades-long involvement in bodybuilding as a competitor, judge, and coach.

Expect honest takes, a few side tangents, and plenty of laughs as they set the stage for what’s to come on The Macro Lounge.

Next episode, they’ll dive into why you should (or shouldn’t) compete and what the reality of bodybuilding really looks like.

Plug in, get your cardio done, and let’s get started.
