We kick things off with a recap of the recent WNBF Australia Melbourne show, sharing highlights from the weekend and looking ahead to the stacked Brisbane lineup.

From there, the discussion moves to post-show recovery, covering the psychological and physiological challenges of regaining control around food, staying mindful of hunger, and setting up a smooth recovery diet.

Next, the team explores meal prep and flexibility, weighing the pros and cons of traditional batch-prep, how to save time while still hitting nutritional targets, and when it makes sense to loosen the reins in the off-season.

Finally, we dive into genetics in bodybuilding, from muscle insertions to leverages and discuss what can realistically be influenced by training, posing, and consistency versus what’s outside of our control.

This episode is packed with evidence-based insights, practical advice, and thoughtful discussion for competitors and bodybuilding enthusiasts alike.
