The Zen of Bodybuilding

Are you training optimally for fat loss, hypertrophy and muscle gain? Through my 45 years of experience, I have tried them all, every split you can imagine, and this one is not only backed by research but is time tested! 

In this episode we cover what Classic Physique look for OCB is and how it is different from other federations. Are you preparing accordingly? And we wrap up on how to baseline for our forever diet. 

Ever start a diet, lose a few pounds then nothing after three weeks? Did you stay the course and wait for the changes, or did you dump calories and try to chase the scale? In this short we explore insulin resistance and the metabolic shift. 

In OCB news we keep growing, and now into international waters. I go over constructing a forever diet, Insulin impact on GI and II, baseline diets and new body somatotypes. 

A quick recap of the 2023 Yorton Cup where 200 pro athletes battled for $63,000 in prize money at one of the most prestigious titles in Natural Bodybuilding. 

In this episode we cover the 2023 Yorton Cup, just weeks away at the time of this posting. I also start our nutritional journey from contest bodybuilder to lifestyle bodybuilder. I cover some of the hurdles I, and many others have had to overcome.  How much of your contest bodybuilding habits do you need to maintain? The answer my surprise you. 

I cover the OCB season so far, a few changes and cover where we will be going over the next six episodes. This will be a new, and never talked about aspect of bodybuilding. 

Introduction to the OCB leadership team and our thoughts on the man who made it all happen. 

This episode I will cover four things a competitor can do to greatly enhance the competitive experience and ease any emotional strain.  I will catch everyone up on the past three months and describe how I recently used bodybuilding to bring balance and harmony back into my line.  I will also bring up the loss of OCB founder, Matt Shepley, and introduce everyone wot the OCB leadership team. This will be part one of two episodes where we meet the OCB leadership team and talk about our experiences with the OCB founder, Matt Shepley, and where the OCB is going. 

In this episode I cover the 2022 OCB year in review, showcase some of what is coming in 2023 and where Zen is going. I take time to differentiate between competition bodybuilding and Zen bodybuilding and how to return to Zen post contest prep and how to prevent the competitive aspect from changing you into a one-dimensional human.
