In this episode, I sit down with competitive bodybuilder Diego Gonzalez, who placed 6th overall in his last show at the Amateur Olympia in pursuit of his pro card. What started as something he thought he’d never do — stepping on stage and posing — became a path to deeper discipline, structure, and personal growth. Diego opens up about the mental and physical grind of prepping for a show, what truly goes into getting shredded, and why cutting for competition is often easier than trying to stay lean in everyday life.
This episode is a raw look at what it takes to chase a pro card and the lessons anyone can take from the bodybuilding lifestyle, whether you want to compete or just get serious about your fitness.
