Welcome to episode 164 of the Bodybuilding Down Under podcast!
In this week’s episode, we tackle a range of questions from listeners covering the mental and physical challenges of competing, recovering, and growing in the sport of bodybuilding.
Here’s what we discuss:
🔹 Prepping twice in one year – Is it worth it, and how does the second prep feel physically and mentally? 🔹 Post-comp food obsession – What to do when your brain won’t stop thinking about food, even when you’re full. 🔹 Sleep supplementation – What actually helps when your sleep hygiene is already on point? We discuss melatonin, magnesium, l-theanine, ashwagandha, and 5-HTP. 🔹 Gaining phase macros – When and how to know whether to increase carbs, fats, or both. 🔹 Caffeine sensitivity in prep – Can lower body weight make you more sensitive? We share our personal experiences with caffeine intake during comp prep. 🔹 Goals in and out of the gym – What we’re aiming for both personally and professionally right now.
