Description

In this Father’s Day special of The General Muscle Podcast, Lawrence sits down with professional natural bodybuilders Nathan Wallace and Damon Forrest to explore the balance between fatherhood and the bodybuilding lifestyle. The conversation dives into what training and nutrition looked like before starting a family and how their training frequency and structure have adapted, along with practical tips for getting sessions in while raising young children. They also discuss changes in their nutritional strategies, how they approach food choices around their kids, and the challenges of managing sleep and recovery when family comes first. Finally, the episode touches on a deeper question: has becoming a father changed their “why” for bodybuilding? This is a must-listen for athletes, parents, and anyone learning how to balance personal goals with family life.
