Balancing Multiple Goals— Achieving Success in Bodybuilding and Powerlifting with John Mark Nicolet

“To really take yourself to the next level, you need to think about somehow you're inspiring other people.” —John Mark Nicolet

While bodybuilding and powerlifting share some similarities such as building strength and muscle mass, they differ in their training methods and ultimate goals. By striking the right balance between these two disciplines and incorporating strategies that support both goals, individuals can unlock their full potential and achieve their desired results. 

Therefore, committing to improvement and developing a winning mentality can make a difference in overcoming the unique challenges of pursuing multiple sports. A strong commitment fuels progress while a winning mentality sustains motivation and resilience. 

This week’s Sherrie sits with bodybuilder/powerlifter John Mark Nicolet. John Mark discusses how he got into bodybuilding from a young age with the encouragement of his father and his commitment to continual self-improvement. Sherrie and John also talked about balancing training and nutrition for the different goals of each sport, and the importance of intrinsic motivation in inspiring yourself and others.
