#19: Show Day Stresses

In this episode, Brad Loomis, Jeff Alberts, and Andrea Valdez talk about competition day stresses and how to deal with them.

Sure, getting an ultra lean physique is definitely the hardest part of natural bodybuilding. But for first time competitors or those who lose their cool pretty easily, getting on stage can be quite a traumatic experience.

Throughout this episode, we discuss our personal show-day blunders both logistically and emotionally. We also go into some of the stupid things we did in terms of our nutritional ignorance, improper planning skills, lack of research, and negative perspectives.

We also go into the different mindsets associated with contest prep, and how we separate the grind of the gym from the celebration of our work.

#18: Sacrifice to Win

Alberto Nunez, Eric Helms, and Andrea Valdez talk about embracing the suck and sacrificing to win.

Bodybuilding is an extreme sport. And although recent generations have found more efficient and practical ways to go about it, we can’t forget that the shit gets difficult. At some point, it will hurt…a lot.

The coaches discuss some terrible times, some pleasant times, and some of the times that they suffered unnecessarily.

They also go into strategies on how to deal with hunger, when to eat out, and when it’s time to make drastic changes in your life in order to reach your bodybuilding goals.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to be a competitor, this episode is definitely for you.

#17: All About Injuries

Alberto Nunez, Brad Loomis, and Andrea Valdez discuss all about bodybuilding INJURIES.

This particular episode definitely did not end up how the coaches thought it would, but it took an unexpected turn for the better.

Brad, Berto, and Andrea start with the physical injuries. They dive into prevention, warm-up, and all the other normal stuff you’d expect on an episode about injuries.

But somewhere in the middle, they actually dive into mental, psychological, or behavioral “injuries” that can come in various forms, as these are what often-times wind up being the reason people do not complete a contest prep.

And of course, the coaches discuss their own current aches and pains, how they’ve learned to deal with them, and why they expect they will never fully go away.
