166: DID IFBB AUS GET NATURAL BODYBUILDING RIGHT? + PEAK WEEK TIPS YOU NEED TO HEAR

Welcome to episode 166 of the Bodybuilding Down Under podcast!

In this week’s episode, we kick things off with a full review of the recent IFBB Natural show in New South Wales, running through the standout winners, class results, critiques, and overall impressions of how the event unfolded. We also share our thoughts on the future of the IFBB Natural scene and what competitors and fans can expect in the years ahead.

Building on last week’s discussion around peak week nutrition, we shift focus to training, skin prep, and stress management during peak week. From adjusting volume and intensity to overlooked details like tanning, posing, and backstage readiness, we cover the small things that can make a big difference when it matters most.

Here’s what we cover:

🔹 Full recap of the IFBB NSW Natural show
🔹 Winners, standout physiques & judging reflections
🔹 The future of IFBB Natural in Australia
🔹 Peak week training strategies
🔹 Skin preparation, tanning tips & presentation hacks
🔹 Reducing stress & improving outcomes during show week

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or fan of the sport, this episode combines practical insight with real-world feedback on what’s working, and what still needs improvement.
