The Zen of Bodybuilding

In this episode we touch on the success of the 2022 Yorton Cup, and I uncover the real historian in Natural Bodybuilding. We also cover the changes in OCB policy that effect ALL OCB Pros, others that pertain to our masters' pros and changes to our drug testing policy, guidelines and suspension protocol. Finally, I wrap up the discussion of the four pillars of wellness and how you can use lessons from bodybuilding to create a balanced, resilient, healthy and happy human on and off the stage.  

In this episode I cover the life of the father of natural bodybuilding and the namesake of the largest natural Pro event in the OCB, Chet Yorton. Chet's story is one of perseverance, dedication, integrity and service to a higher cause. Chet pioneered natural bodybuilding and possessed a world class physique. Chet was one of only three men to beat Arnold and embraced the bodybuilding lifestyle as a way to build not just physiques but character. 

. In this episode we will cover what makes a good promoter and trust me it is not easy, but it is rewarding. We will continue the path we started last month and discuss the physical aspect of the total human concept and how bodybuilding is more than just a tool for looking good on stage. I have a great interview with pro figure competitor, champion powerlifter and the best MC in the industry, Ms. Tricia Floyd.

What is Zen, and how can bodybuilding be a catalyst of change for all aspects of your life? Also, why is OCB changing who we accept polygraphs from and does that change where pros can compete? I also have a great interview with OCB Champion Greg Trombley the Giant Killer 2.0. 

In episode 6 we cover the timeline of when you are actually a legitimate OCB pro and what that means as far as entering amateur events and other pro federations. I have an interview with Frank Formacela, a competitor who started in the 70s and is still a force in the sport. I end with my thoughts on the difference between working in the gym and training. I hope you enjoy this episode. 

In this episode I will provide some clarity on OCB posing standards and provide a few tips to improve your presentation. There is an interview with OCB Hall of Fame inductees Joe Franco and Stasi Longo. I will also answer the question of why OCB is seven years drug free. 

In the episode I cover the changes we are making in the OCB that will allow our masters only pros to participate in the event. I cover one of the early pioneers of women's bodybuilding, Pudgy Stockton. I talk with World bodybuilding Champion and WNBF President, Nancy Andrews and then answer some questions on coaches and coaching influences. 

In this episode we will be talking about OCB drug testing policy and why we polygraph. There is a great interview with OCB promoter, coach, judge, gym owner and champion bodybuilder, Kevin Parrott and we will end with a history lesson and a few questions. 

In episode two I cover the OCB changes for 2022, have an outstanding interview with Yorton Cup Champions, Jessica (Figure) and Will (Bodybuilding) Powell, cover exactly where bodybuilding as both a sport and way of life originated and answer a few questions.
