Today more and more federations are chipping into the natural side of the sport and I think it’s brilliant that natural bodybuilding is expanding! 

However, a lot of people are unclear of the rules into competing as a natural and it varies between federation to federation.

In today’s episode I go through the rules of the main natural federations and shows available in the UK.

I run through the banned substance list (https://www.wada-ama.org/en) and understanding the categories on the list as well as the 2 main drug testing methods; polygraph and the urine analysis test.

If you are unsure of any of the rules of the federation you are competing in contact them directly and well before you compete.

In today's episode I discuss what makes a great show day and what to expect from the federation/event organisers.

I think this is a very important topic of conversation, we invest a lot of time, effort and money into the sport so it's important we have great shows to compete at where it's clear the federation has put a lot of effort into the athletes experience.

It's also in our best interest that we are doing our part to ensure we have a great show day experience. This is definitely one to listen to if this is your first time competing.
