“She/he has better genetics than you.”

“You just don’t have the genetics.”

“Ugh, My genetics won’t let me do that.”

“Well yeah, he’s/she’s a genetic wonder, that’s why.”

“How come you didn’t win? Genetics.”

“Genetics? Pffft. Don’t believe that crap. They don’t matter”

If you’ve heard any one of these statements, or something similar, you’re definitely not alone.

By far one of the most misunderstood and confusing subjects being debated today is just what role “genetics” play in fitness.

Do they matter at all?

If you don’t have them, should you hang up your competitive hat?

What the hell are people even talking about when they refer to “genetics” ?

Austin and Marty cut this topic wide open with a chainsaw and dissect it for you, piece by piece.

Which statements have you heard about genetics? What are your opinions?

Just who the heck are these 2 guys you’ve been listening to for the last 31 episodes?

Do they have interests beyond fitness?

How did they get started in fitness/contest prep coaching?

What are their plans/goals for the future?

How did they wind up where they are today?

Austin interviews Marty, and vice versa, with some “origin story” questions, and we’re calling it the AUDIObiography.

Did you learn anything new about these 2 ? Did some of their answers scare you off completely and you’ll never listen to the podcast again :) ?

In Episode 12, we talked about the importance of “The Offseason”, and hopefully got through to many of our adored listeners.

This time, we’re going to cover:

-What  could you be doing to improve your offseason?

-What shouldn’t you be doing during your offseason?

-How should your nutrition look?

-How should your training look?

-How long should you offseason be?

-How different is your offseason versus Pre-contest?

-What should your supplementation look like?

-Should you be having cheat/free meals weekly? Daily?

-How much cardio should you do? Any at all? None?

-How much weight should you be gaining?

-How do you know when my offseason is going well? When it’s finished? When it’s not?

WIth the spotlight being almost entirely on Pre-Contest, as the place to focus all of a fitness competitor’s attention,

“The Gospel According to Offseason” just isn’t talked about enough.

If your goals aren’t *necessarily* to compete, that’s cool - this podcast is still for you.

This information will still be extremely relevant to you, if you’re looking into maximizing the size, shape, and remodelling of your physique - the correct way.

There are copious amounts of half-assed, not planned, not monitored - or worse, non-existent - offseasons out there.

We’re on a mission to end the “non-productive offseason” - and you’re coming with us!

Tune in to find out where you’re doing it right, where you can pick up your game, and practical insight you can implement for your nest (or current) offseason.

How do you set up your offseason? What have you found is the strategy that works the best for you? What are some of your previous offseason mistakes? Share your thoughts and ideas with us.
