Description

Welcome to episode 176 of the Bodybuilding Down Under podcast! This week we dive into one of the most important (and often overlooked) phases of the sport: post-show recovery.


We kick things off by discussing how we approach weight gain after a show, why the rate of increase matters for health, performance, and long-term physique outcomes, and how we personally manage step counts, cardio, and food intake to find a sustainable level of leanness.


From there, we share how we navigate the mental side of the recovery phase, regaining control around food, taking the pressure off macro tracking, and finding joy in training again outside of a prep context.


Finally, we chat about how we set up our off-seasons to be productive and enjoyable, focusing on maximising muscle growth.


If you're coming out of prep or planning your next season, this ones certainly for you!
