Welcome to Episode 1 of The Stage Code — the slightly chaotic, very honest beginning of our bodybuilding podcast 🖤
In this debut ep, Bec and Paris finally hit record (after maybe an hour of technical difficulties 😅) and kick things off with rapid-fire questions, real talk, and the full backstory of how we both found our way to the stage. From donuts vs pasta debates, pet peeves, favourite lifts, and comfort TV shows… to competing natural, navigating prep, injuries, off-seasons, and the realities of bodybuilding beyond Instagram.
We dive into:
- Our individual journeys into bodybuilding & coaching
- First shows, first preps, and lessons learned the hard way
- Natural competing, IFBB vs ICN, and why the off-season actually matters
- Why prep isn’t something you “just start” — it’s a lifestyle
- How The Stage Code came to life (and why we want to support you beyond posing)
Whether you’re a competitor, a gym-goer, or just bodybuilding-curious, this podcast is raw, relatable, and here to make the sport feel less lonely and a lot more human.
