Because I think it’s, um, there’s a lot of people that train it way too much, way too frequent, too much volume.

And don’t understand that this muscle is very small. It doesn’t need that much attention brought to it. Does it not need to be beaten up in the gym? Like it’s your quads, your chest, or your back, your lats. It isn’t a very small muscle and the littlest things go far away. Lighter weight goes a further way. Squeezing tempo tension is so important. Most important factors in your rear Delt training. You’d be mind-boggling how easy it is to get big rear delts. And that’s not injecting them. I’m talking about just

training them. So, uh, of course, injections work as well, but we’re gonna talk about primarily training today because I think a lot of people don’t have complete delts because they don’t train their rear delts properly. They’re not engaging their rear delts properly. A lot of them don’t understand the exercise science behind, uh, cue points of training, those rear delts. You know what the,

For what, what angle, uh, what tempo,

Uh, you know, there’s a lot of people doing these incorrectly. So the first thing I want to talk about is exercise selection. So this is going to vary, you know, depending on whether you’re bent over 90 degrees or you’re straight up one 80, uh, it’s essentially the same movement. Okay. Uh, for me.

I felt being bent over 90 degrees at my waist. I got a better stretch on my rear Delt and I engaged my rear Delt much better maybe because my arms were longer. I don’t know. Maybe cause my arms were overpowered exercises. I don’t know. I am just telling you. There’s no science to back. This is just from experience. People longer arms seemed to be a much better trainer, rare rear delts bent over at the waist, not standing 180-DEGREES, straight up parallel doing like rope pose or seated rope poles or, uh, cables from the top pulleys, you know, rear Delt flies. I liked everything to be bent over to the I did from my rear delts. Now I’m not saying that my rear delts didn’t engage, but I felt them. I felt the best pump, the best workout. When I bent over at the waist doing either dumbbell work or barbell work or cable work, whatever it was, it was bent over either sitting on the end of a bench or just standing up, being bent over.

Um, and the swinging were outward motion of my pinkies leading the way and more of a forward release. Like I was throwing it away from me, not to the side. When I went to the side too much, it was way too much. Terry’s muscles, major, minor Terry’s muscles engaging. And eventually it was trapped. And then scap and I didn’t want that. I wanted just to be rear Delt. So what I would angle my hands like this, as you could see like this and throw it away on a diagonal. So I’d be throwing it towards my ear, not towards the side of my body and the rear Delt activation I would get from that was amazing. I mean, my rear delts would blow up with blood. They’d be full. And if you guys looked at my competition photos, I had good shoulders. I was doing something right.

Those were not shot up shoulders. I had striations in them. That was a real short rear Delt rear real, a real rear Delt right muscle right there. That was not a shut up muscle, which most guys just put a lot of shit there and it just fills it out. But I promise you, my rear delts were legit. My shoulders were a religion. And um, another exercise I loved was pressing on the Smith machine, behind the neck. I would grab my arm just so long. I would grab the end of the bar on the Swift machine all the way out. And my orange would come down at an angle and I wouldn’t go all the way down, but down to like the bottom of my ear lobe and go up and fully full extension at the top, very slow tempo down. I would get pretty heavy. I’ll go to like almost three, four plates with these, but that was at the peak, my career, but two plates was punting heavy, you know, but I would rip it out 15, 20 times.

I mean, I would literally beat the shit out of my rear Delt on that machine, but listen, I would do four sets and be done. Um, I would never, I would never do 10, 15, 20 sets when they were adults. Like people are crazy. I mean the max amount of sets I would go is eight and that’s like an intense pace, eight sets. This is not me hanging out for three hours doing rear delts. I mean, it’d be banged out at the end of a workout somewhere. Either my chest workout, my shoulder workout, my arm workout. Uh, and once a week I was like, I was not treating my rear delts that frequent. It was just that I was hitting them hard and correctly. My cue points were on point. Um, there’s some temporal exercise I like to do. I could demonstrate it right now if I would, but um, really need to be in the gym to show these.

But I wanted to talk about them because I think a lot of people do not train them correctly or they don’t put enough emphasis on them in the correct, uh, exercise in the gym and they don’t get trained. Right. And you see a lot of guys with rolled shoulder blades forward because they have no rear delts. I want to see my posture to be straight up. And I’m when I hit a side shot. That completes the whole side shot. When you have no rear Delt capped off, you don’t look as thick from the side tricep to side chest from the rear poses. I mean, without a rear Delt, the whole back shot is not complete. I know there’s a lot more to the back shop, but to me, my eyes immediately go to it. When the guy doesn’t have your adults, I’m like, Ugh, it doesn’t fill out.

Right. It doesn’t look right. It doesn’t pop. It’s not three dimensional. If you look at guys a big backs, they have good rear delts. It makes a big difference. It just fills that hole. It ties in that whole shoulder blade into the Terry’s and ends it into the lats. And it just looks so good when you have big shoulders, complete front, you know, when the front Delta-like sticking up to their, their neck and then they have no rear Delt, it looks weird. It doesn’t look complete to me. And so many guys have great front delts and medial adults, but no rear. And it drives me nuts. It drives me nuts because they, they train the other muscles so hard and forget that the rear delts there, for some reason, I’m definitely a neglected muscle majorly neglected muscle. But I wanted to talk about this today because so many people do not train them.

Right? And I think the shorter guys have an advantage from doing to doing rope poles because their arms aren’t as long. So the leverage point is different. The point at which the arm is going to be flexing is going to be different than someone with a shorter arm, the longer arm. So real poles are good for people. I mean, I never felt a road pole. It was just too much. There’s too much area to cross with my arms before I get any tension in my rear Delt, I have to pull like here all the way behind me to get any tension to my rear Delt. So me bent over, I felt my rear Delt engaged already when it was hanging, you know, just from the hang. I feel my rear Delt, like just doing this hanging in my arms straight out, I can feel pulling on my rear Delt.

And then when I would go up, I immediately lit I would leave with the peak pinky and I would throw outward on a diagonal and my Delt would blow up with blood guys. Now I like to do tempos too. John metals taught me that he’s leaning over a bench, just keeping tempo and just keep going until you burn out with heavier dumbbells. Those are great too bent over cables are great, but over dumb, those are great. Mental were barbell and keeping the elbows at 90 degrees aligned, throwing up, throwing my elbows up. I killed my rear delts and I, you know, I think I had some of the most killer delts at the time. You know, I think I had great delts and I’m not comparing to like pros. I mean, Mr. Olympia pros, but like I had some really good delts and I was wide.

And um, you know, I didn’t beat them up once a week. I did them at their chest or didn’t have their back. I didn’t have their arms whenever I felt like getting them in. I threw them in. There’s not really a right or wrong time. Just obviously when you’re training your upper body, you want to hit them. But once a week is plenty guys. I wouldn’t do any more than two exercises, a couple sets each. And that’s it be done with them. Don’t train them multiple times a week. Don’t inject them with shitload. Then you’re going to lose that connection, muscle, mind connection you have with them because of all the scar tissue don’t do that. Just, you know, you can put shots there, but don’t overdo it. You know, too many people overdoing. They had these pointy fucking triangle rear delts and it looks awful to me. I think it looks like garbage. Does it move when they flex, as you like most muscular side tricep side chest, it just doesn’t move. So it’s frozen. Um, so just wanna give you my 2 cents today on rear delts. Uh, try it out. If you have any questions, you guys know where to find me. Of course today’s video is sponsored by body sign sups and save your SARMs and the chicken pound, uh, check out the BOGO sale, at bodysceincesupps.com Thanks again, guys.

Welcome back guys to another podcast today. My name is Nick Trigili. And today we’re going to speak to you guys about, uh, how many weeks are you supposed to prep for your first or second bodybuilding show is more time, better as less time better. What’s like the sweet spot. 

Before we get started, let’s talk about the sponsors of today’s video. Uh, my supplement store, uh, and supplement line savior SARMs and sponsored by body science, sups. Uh, it’s my settlement story. You get all your, all the shit. You need guys, protein, aminos pre-workouts SARMs save your SARMs, uh, vitamins minerals, everything we have bodysciencesupps.com and also the chicken pound, uh, another, uh, great company to get your food from. Uh, we deliver chicken to your door. Freshly cooked, multiple flavors to choose from the chicken pound.com and of course, wc-trainers.com my coaching business. So, alright, so now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s talk about what is ideal prep time for your first physique, uh, bodybuilding, bikini, whatever division you decide to jump in. Uh, I believe there’s a sweet spot of time that you should put aside for your first prep and the reasons why are, are, are as follows.

Because number one, the majority of you people out there that are prepping for your first bodybuilding show or fitness show, let’s just call it fitness show. Doesn’t have a lot of mature muscle on them. Okay? Let’s say you’re, you know, you’re young and motivated. You do your first show. You have a lot of fat cells on your body. So you’re going to need a longer time than usual to get off all this baby fat. I like to call it quote unquote. Uh, it takes a slower process. You have to come down slower. You cannot rush the process because you don’t have a lot of mature muscle. And what happens is when you start to begin the diet, you lose a lot more weight than you intended to. You’ll probably lose a lot more muscle than you tried to. Uh, not just happens because that’s the part of the process.

There’s not, it’s very hard to balance someone’s body. The first time they come down, the body doesn’t know what’s going on. It pushes back a lot. It doesn’t like to drop body fat. You have a tendency of holding onto body fat longer in some stubborn areas. Now this is for the general public. There’s also exceptions to this rule because some people have genetics where they can prep for the first time and they come down nice and easy and come perfect. But that’s not for everybody I’m talking about for the general, generalizing this for the most people, you’re gonna have a hard time coming down here, have a hard time getting off body fat, especially in stubborn areas like your back, your abs, your, your glutes, your hamstrings, you know, all the extremities that we tend to have a tendency to holding more body fat in, uh, are going to come down a lot slower and not going to be as tight as we want them to be.

The first time we go on stage, I mean, that’s just part of the process. And that’s what, that’s the beauty of it that you have to kinda, you know, enjoy the journey as people call it’s cliche. But it’s true because your goal is to just beat that look, every single time you get to this stage, it’s, it’s really a battle amongst yourself. Yes, you want to beat others. You want to win. You want to get that pro card. You want to win the trophy, blah, blah, blah. But this is a personal battle. If you don’t really get motive, if you don’t find motivation within yourself to beat yourself, to get into, have a hard time doing this sport for a long time. All my motivation, the majority of it, of course, I love competition. And I love beating people, especially those I don’t like and beating my friends.

Of course that’s fun. But my, my core motivation was me. Like, I want to beat the last version of Nick. And even that sounds cheesy sometimes because a lot of people will abuse that statement, but don’t really understand fully what it means. So to go into detail, if you see yourself the last show and you don’t look at that photo and seek motivation from saying, I want to be better than that, then you’re not doing the sport for the right reasons. Number one, number two, if you can’t seek motivation from yourself and see like, damn, I want to come in better. I want to look better. I want to have bigger shoulders or bigger legs or a bigger bag or more shredded this. Or then I don’t know what to tell you, because if you can’t see the photo of yourself and get motivation from that, that’s weird to me, honestly, it’s very weird because you’re in this because it’s, uh, a lot of let’s admit a lot of us have insecurities.

I had insecurities. We all do with the way we look. We want to look a certain way. We want to present ourselves in public, looking a certain way. Especially when we get on stage, we want to look a certain way. There might be a person we idolize might be someone we visit. We look up to or get motivated by that. We kind of want to copy. That is your goal. You know, you want to have less body fat areas. You want to have bigger, this better, that round or this, you know, bigger arms. These are insecurities we have, and we conquer them by going onstage and, and saying, Hey, I’m okay with you judging me. I’m okay with taking Cruz criticism. I’m okay with you guys critiquing my body. And you’re accepting that when you go on stage and for people who don’t accept that properly.

And, and guys that I went to about guys in particular, because I’m a guy guys that can’t take criticism, well, you sign up for the wrong fucking sport do, because this is where you put it all out there. You’re covering everything, uh, you know, exposing everything except your crotch in your ass. And you’re saying, Hey, judge me, what do you think I need work on? What do you think are my strong points? Can I beat the guy next to me? You’re asking for criticism. Okay. Just like you would, as a basketball player, football player, a UFC fighter or a boxer you’re asking for criticism. When you go out there and perform your sport. It’s the same thing when your body’s a little more personal, because now you’re, you’re judging. Someone’s physique. That’s their own skin. They walk in performance could be tainted from a lot of different things.

So there’s a little more subjective argument there, but this, this you’re taking someone’s opinion from a judge or a fan or someone commenting on Instagram. And you’re, you know, you’re taking it in and as either a compliment or an insult or whatever, and you have to be able to either accept it or use it as motivation. And if you use it as you’ve seen as a negative thing, and you get the press from it or upset from it, then you should probably walk away from the sport because it’s going to be a long road because you can’t accept criticism in a positive manner. No, one’s out here to hurt anybody. When they say, Hey, that man’s got no legs or he needs a bigger back, we want to win. That’s just, that’s just like saying, LeBron James can’t shoot three free throws, you know, or Shaquille O’Neal can’t shoot, you know, from passing the free throw line.

You know, that’s just part of getting critiqued and telling you what you have to work on and see it as a positive thing, people are giving you constructive criticism. Look at it from a different point of view. Don’t see it as a negative thing. Now how many weeks you need is really going to depend on what kind of shape you’re in. When you start this prep, if you are far fetched out of shape, and this is like something out of the whim that you’re trying, you would probably give yourself 16 to 20 weeks. So you have some time to put a little bit of muscle on a little mini off season, and you transition into a contest prep, but it’s obvious. Season’s going to be a scenario where you’re keeping body fat low. You’re trying to build lean muscle tissue. You’re not trying to get bloated out of shape.

And you know, you’re utilizing to the best of your ability, a diet, cardiovascular work and weight training. Now, if you’re in shape, let’s say I probably suggest a 12 to 16 week prep, depending on what you look like, how much muscle you have, male or female, how old you are. Um, that is probably the sweet spot for most people. Once I was advanced, cause I used myself as an example, I was doing eight to 10 week preps max, because I had a lot of mature muscle. I was carrying a lot less body fat cells. I would get in shape a lot faster. My body knew what was happening when I did it. It just responded instantly. So 10 week was max. I start cleaning my dye up after eight weeks of hard. Dieting was usually what I did at the end of my, my contest prep season, um, career, I should say, now this is different.

Some people have to prep for 12, 16 weeks. They had to come down very slow and meticulous and watch their food. Watched her cardio. They’re very sensitive to things, not so much myself, but I was a different kind. Like I said, I had genetics for certain things and certain things. I didn’t dieting metabolism, fast metabolism, my gifts. I was able to come and shave very easily. Now this is all subjected to change depending on the person and experience and how much muscle they have. So don’t hold a candle to this. This is just an idea of, so you have an idea what you’re getting involved in. Now, the variables you have to focus on when you first start prep is let’s not, let’s not super extend ourselves too far and use all of our weapons. I like to call it when we first started our prep.

So what I mean is if you’re going into conduct prep, don’t use all the fabbers. Don’t use all this crazy cardio. Don’t starve yourself. Don’t overtrain. These are all things you should pay attention to, to not do. When you first start a contest prep, you should slowly add them in as necessary and needed. So what I mean is train hard and clean up the diet. Those are the first two things you just do. And very low intensity cardio, nothing has a high frequency. So don’t be doing it every day. Don’t be doing it five days a week, start out low, like probably two to three days a week, low intensity cardio, hardcore weight training, and cleaning up the diet. That’s where you start out, see how the body outcome commands. And then you can start slowly adding things in whether you’d use fat burners as the next variable, or you increase cardio as the next variable, or you’re adjusting the diet as the next variable, depending on what the person looks like, their experience, how old they are, male, female, et cetera, et cetera.

It’s going to, depending on which one you do next, some, sometimes there’s two or three at a time. So that’s all of them. Sometimes it’s zeros. And as you pull back, that is going to be taken day by day by the coach or yourself, depending on what you look like in that mirror. So there’s really no definitive answer right now for me to say, Hey, this is the exact formula you should file to get in shape in 16 weeks. And if you do this, you will be a hundred percent beyond shape and shape on contest day. No coach, no mentor, no. Anybody can promise that to you. It’s going to be taken day by day, week by week, month by month for prep. That’s what check-ins are for. That’s what a coach is for the third eye to take a look at you, to judge where you’re at. If you need to keep pushing harder or pull back or keep going where you’re at, that’s going to be taken every, you know, those, those things are gonna be taken in when you do check-ins. So

Don’t rush.

This is my best advice. Number two, be patient. Sometimes you hit sticking points where you’re at a certain body, weight or body fat for sometimes a few weeks. And all of a sudden your pie, just all of a sudden clicks and your body starts accelerating and you just have rapid fat loss, fat loss. So you have that patient. When you make a change, you have to be very smart and critical when you make changes, because sometimes you can change too much, too fast. And the person plummets, they get flat, they lose muscle yada yada. So you have to be very meticulous on how well, you know, somebody’s bodies respond to things, how sensitive they are, uh, you know, are they doing all these necessary things that you told them to do? Are they following a protocol, a hundred percent? Those things had to be taken into consideration.

I know I’m not going to mention names. Some of my clients that I know are probably doing a little too much, and I have the clients that are probably doing two less. So I know when to push and pull back, that’s something a coach has to be able to recognize and feel out and kind of, I don’t want to say withhold that from the client, because sometimes those things are better left, unknown until afterwards the communication jobs should be there between you and your coach, but at most, and most important is the client being transparent as possible to the coach about what they are not doing and what they are doing. That’s number one to me, you know, if the client is not being transparent, what they’re doing like saying, yes, I did 60 minutes of cardio every day, this week, like you told me to, and they really did it twice.

That’s going to be a big factor in whether or not that person gets in shape. That’s going to be a big factor in whether or not I make changes or not this week when check-in. So when you get my, give you a report, when you check in, I’m assessing all these things, these are most important to how I make my changes. So when you’re a client, you have to say, yes, I had a big Mac this week. What are you gonna do about it? Well, at least I know not to start feeding them more food because you look flat or because of XYZ. These things have to be completely honest and transparent between you and the coach. If they’re not, don’t expect to be your best on show day, don’t expect to be a hundred percent and then blame your coach because you’re not in shape because you forgot about all those three or four to five times that you fucked up during your contest prep.

I can’t stand that when I see a client or a coach go out there and start blaming one or the other it’s both of your faults because there was either some communication error or there was something left out in the coaches part or the client forgot to tell the coach something or purposely did. There’s always a reason why the client didn’t come in, in condition. You know, sometimes it’s not just lack of knowledge or lack of experience with that client. So I, as a coach, need multiple shows or sometimes a lot of shows to get to know a client. People’s bodies changed from one prep to another. These things are, are all recurring, uh, sequences, uh, you know, during, you know, a client and coach relationship, these things are gonna happen. So the best coach and client transformations are always the one that, where you had most experience with each other.

That’s just proven facts. That’s just hard. And those evidence now, the close this out number one thing I want to stress is that drugs do not make you a better bodybuilder doing contest prep. Number two, doing more cardio does not accelerate fat loss. Okay? Always the diet has to be changed. And according to the cardio that’s given in order to see the changes and the training has to be changed. According to the changes, it’s not just to give more cardio and then expect to lose more fat. That will shut down your metabolism. Three training, weight training, more frequent does not make your muscles bigger. During contest prep, food has to be adjusted. Cardio has to be adjusted in order for that to work the fill out or get, look more fuller fourth. Now,

You’ve been prepping for 16 weeks, doesn’t always mean you’re going to be shredded. Come show day. Maybe you need less time. Maybe you flattened out and got softer and lost too much muscle, or maybe you needed more time. So don’t always say, Oh, well, I dyed it for four months. I should be shredded. Come on next one. Um, don’t always think that because you starved yourself and you’re eating less, you’re suffering more. That does not equal better results because you’re eating less caloric intake or less macros than you were prior last week that does not equal more shred. Okay. More shred equals because you’ve aligned the diet, the training and the supplementation together. Cause usually when I make one change, there has to be a change with something else. I ordinarily, depending on the situation, like there’s always a, what if I never just change the food and don’t adjust something else or just change the diet.

I mean the training and not just the diet or change the subs and don’t adjust something else. I might pull back on stuff one time, like one thing, but I don’t usually say, Hey, you know what? Let’s increase. The food usually increases the food, but I’ll usually adjust the volume of the workouts or change the cardio or change the subs. There’s always a reciprocal thing changing. Uh, when I do something just how I do things, it might be different than other coaches, but like I said, that’s not always, but most of the time I do. And lastly, always listen to your coach. Even if you think it’s wrong, okay. Either quit that coach and start somewhere new either by yourself or with someone new, but don’t just keep working with a coach and not doing what they tell you that is wasting both of your time.

You are not going to end up looking right. If you’re listening to other people and combining that should be another one. I actually don’t combine multiple coaches. A way of preparing into one doesn’t take someone’s good that you think is good with them and apply it to one that does not equal great. That equals a clusterfuck and looking like shit. So don’t do that either. It’s a very important one as well. Listen to the coach all the way through, because then what you can do is look back and you have at least the test report or test transformation I should say of what you did and what doesn’t work or what works. Great. That, I mean, that was where my best lessons working with a coach and saying, Oh, well that fucking didn’t work or well, that fucking worked amazing. And now we just tweak this. Can you imagine,

Even if you lose, but you’ve had the best

Experience learning from that, that is a win to me. You don’t have to win the show to win. You can win off the stage. So take all those things into consideration. Guys, when you do a contest prep, listen to me, these are all main factors that you should listen to and pay attention to greatly. And I promise if you apply these, you will see a better body of your own. So remember today was sponsored by body science subs, save your SARMs and the chicken pound. If you guys want to look at any of these, check the links below, they’re all my description. And thanks again for listening. I will see you guys soon.

I’m going to speak to you guys about how to maximize your off seasons with gear, sars, nutrition training, do a wholesome video about just off season in general. Some things that could possibly help you get a better off season, making it more productive, more effective, and be able to maximize that time in the off season in order to have a better, physique, either for a show or just to improve your overall health and balance. If you want as well, look better or put on more muscle. Some things that come to mind when I, when I talk about off season, number one is

Being fresh, ready, not overdoing things, not doing crazy dosages. There’s a time and place where you’re going to get in your career or life when it comes to being a AK bodybuilder and you might have to increase dosages to a level that you’ve never used before because of the way your body evolves. What it is with PDs, sometimes our receptors, they just don’t respond to the same dose as we’ve been doing so we have to increase them a little bit. I think a lot of people really don’t have a full understanding of how far even just 50 milligrams, 75 milligrams, 100 milligrams, a dose increase goes, that’s a big difference in the way your body facilitates that and utilizes it. So you don’t have to always jump two, three, four, or 500 milligrams, to notice a big difference.

You know, if you’re at the 800 grand mark with a compound whatever that is, generally speaking, if you decide to go to 900, that’s still going to be a big difference in what you were doing. I think a lot of people underestimate the power of these hormones and how effective they just by increasing them in small doses. I still also think a lot of people don’t fully understand the concept of that, taking advantage of the lowest dose possible for the longest period of time, you don’t have to jump up every cycle, you don’t have to jump up every year. Listen, the best results I ever had was doing mediocre dosages with everything, not oversaturating myself, not becoming acidic, not doing 8 million injections a week and just being so sick of everything in the whole process

and it fucking up my digestion system, because of all the things I was on, all the orals I was on and, just becoming a pin cushion. That isn’t bodybuilding, and way too many people, men, kids, no matter what age you are, there’s no demographic, that’s worse than others. You guys are so obsessed with just worrying about gear and there’s so many other things I couldn’t make the gear give you better results, essentially. That’s your digestive system, that’s doing cleanses, making sure you take time of, making sure you’re not over-training, overdoing things. Over-train is kind of an abused term, when I say overtraining, I mean, just not giving the body a break at all training six days a week, year after year, a month after month, not having enough recovery time, you know, the hormones are great for recovery.

Obviously that’s one of the biggest benefits to why we use them and we feel super human on them because we are recovering at a rapid rate. But the thing is you still need time off. There’s only so much nutrition and the gear can do to enhance and speed up your recovery. I don’t think a lot of people put into perspective that when you’re training at a high level, which a lot of people do, even if they’re not competing. People train hard and they think that they can recover within 24 hours, 48 hours for big body parts, or after they’ve done a grueling heavy weight session for an hour and a half. Like the body takes a lot of time, there’s a lot of stages and phases it goes through till it’s fully recovered. A-just because you’re not sore doesn’t mean you’re recovered, B- just because you ate your post workout meal or shot some drug or had a good eight hours of sleep

doesn’t mean you’re recovered. Your central nervous system has a lot to do with your CNS, I like to call it, it has a lot to do with your recovery. If that is overtaxed, it’s only going to keep extending those days and hours for recovery. So you have to really pay attention to a lot of different little signs that your body’s giving you, that you’re fatigued, you’re tired, you’re restless, you have no appetite. You basically have been shutting down, your strength has not been what it usually is, you have chronic fatigue all the time, you’re getting restless sleep, you’re body’s not absorbing nutrients. Well, those are a lot of signs that you have to pay attention to when your body’s over-trained, it’s not that you can’t train or that you’re not growing because you probably will still grow honestly, on PEDs when you do feel the worst, but are you really truthfully getting the best results?

No, absolutely not. So there’s a lot of things that people have a tendency to overdo, and that’s definitely training and definitely gear that people take way too much to gear. I think that this video is going to be kind of an overall, my take on, obviously people’s off season approaches. People have a tendency to take more drugs thinking that’s going to speed up the recovery, or that’s going to make them more superhuman in order to be able to train more. Sometimes I see guys talking about training body parts twice in the same day. Listen, there’s been times and places where I’ve done some pretty crazy shit and even I’m like, what the fuck was I thinking? But you can do those things, but you cannot do them consistently for weeks at a time or months at a time.

If you want to shock your body or shock a body part, and Hey, you know what, I’m going to bang this body part out twice in three days, because I feel like it needs a little extra shock than it normally does, and I’ve gotten a  good response out of it. Then maybe take a full week off from training that body part this time, do it for fun, see what it does, test the waters. But these are not things you can consistently do week after week, month after month, your body is going to push back and injury is going to occur. Your appetite’s going to get shut down, you’re going to feel weird, shitty anxiety, you’re going to feel restless. The biggest fear I have with people doing that is injuries, that’s like the number one thing. Most of the time people don’t understand is that you’re getting hurt because probably your recovery is not right.

A lot of people don’t pay attention and go into the chiropractors. A chiropractor that just automatically cracks you as not a chiropractor, a chiropractor that looks at you examines your body, analyzes what’s wrong and treats it in a therapeutic way by either adjusting you or some type of therapy, stim machine, stretching, that’s a real chiropractor. If your chiropractor just goes in there and cracks you, and doesn’t actually do a full examination on what’s wrong and what needs attention, then you should probably find someone new massage therapist. They have their time and place, it’s not something you get done, week after week, regardless if you need it or not. That’s something you use as a tool when you do have aches and pains, if you are tight in some areas, you’re not feeling as you’re not getting the best workouts  on that body part, maybe because something’s locked up or it’s too much scar tissue has built up or circulation issues.

You should use these tools as needed, not something that you should abuse weekend and week out because that also will play against you in a negative way. Now, a lot of guys are big on, you know, cupping, foam rolling and all this crazy stuff now, IV drips for recovery and there’s always something new, I feel like just trending on Instagram or the internet for bodybuilders to do or something cool that’s revolutionizing the sport for recovery. Listen, everything is very good in moderation. I’ve noticed throughout my career, I’ve done everything possible to try to be the best enhance my physique and take it to the next level science wise because that’s just how I was. I always wanted to be on the cutting edge of things. Cryotherapy has been very popular, I noticed too, these things all work.

Absolutely they work, but within reason, depending on what the injury is, depending on what the pain or the, little nagging strains you’re getting, they all have an application purpose and some things will work, some things won’t, and some people are better at their job than others. That’s another thing you have to learn that just because you saw somebody on the internet using massage therapist and to cure their issue. If you have the same problem, doesn’t mean you’re going to get the same result. Your body will either react very well to the therapy, or it might fight back, not everyone’s injury is going to be really the same, just because you have the same pain or the same, maybe muscle tear, it doesn’t mean it’s going to recover the same for you.

Now, these liquid IVs, I see everyone using and peptides for recovery. There’s ones that do work and there’s ones that are just honestly full of shit. Now, filtering through them is really good, depending on the quality of both of those, and also how often you use them. You know, really what’s the obligation, like what are you trying to accomplish by using these therapeutic things, peptides and IVs drips and everything else. I think Ivy drips have a place in bodybuilding, especially for immune support, the essential vitamins and minerals that you need, that you’re probably lacking, keeping a good balance of them. Peptides are great for recovery purposes like injuries and strains and muscle tears, there’s some really legit ones out there. As long as you get it from a legit companies, peptides for growing purposes, it’s very hit or miss, as long as you’re getting it from a good pack compound agency, you can get really good results with some of them for muscle growth, but that’s very person to person, it’s going to vary, the results are going to vary.

So, and that all comes down to when it comes down to gear and training too, just because you saw your favorite bodybuilder or your favorite coach, mentor or whoever it is preaching about a training method, doesn’t always mean it’s going to be great for you. I tell everybody the same thing, my clients, anyone that messages me, training methods should be built upon your trial and error, you should be able to have either a mental note or an actual notebook to take notes on how exercises affect your body negatively and positively. Also, training splits that have been better for you and for worse for you. I don’t think there’s exactly a correct method to train. I think everyone could figure out on their own how many times they need to train something

how frequent, what exercises do they feel the most, you know, just for instance, when I was a bodybuilder, every arm exercise that was free weight, I just never got the same muscle mind connection as I did when I did machines or cables. Everyone always knocked me for not doing dumbbell straight bars, my friend, my trading partners, whoever I trained with, people I would meet. Like you’re not going to do like barbell and stuff for arms. I’m like, I just feel pain when I do that. I don’t feel like my muscle is actually getting a workout. I feel like I’m just getting elbow pain, tendonitis. I feel like my shoulders going to fall out. I just don’t feel like I’m getting a great muscle tension or  muscle contraction like I do with cables or machines. That was something that it was like my stable, I just didn’t really do free weights unless I felt like doing something different

because I was bored, but I built my arms and I had decent arms on machines and cables. if you talk to most people, they would totally be against that because they feel like heavy weight, you got to nail them, you gotta kill them. You know, but to me, lighter weight, hard concentration, isolation exercises doing one arm at a time was  my bread and butter that built my arms. Same with my legs, I talked about this a lot, my bread and butter for legs was doing isolation exercises, single leg press, Bulgarian, split squats, walking lunges, front squats was my favorite two legged exercise, but I didn’t get anything out of back squats. My ass grew in, my hips got stronger, my quads got nothing out of that. Now when I switched to Smith machine and I did like a closed stance squat, back squat, I got a much better contraction, but they didn’t like blow my legs up

Like back squats did, or front squat, double leg did. Single leg presses were absolutely a killer, bulgarian split squats, walking lunges were just, my legs never got more pumped by isolating them. As a tall guy, I had a very hard time developing my legs as big as they needed to be on stage. I feel like that was my bread and butter for legs. Now, a lot of people may disagree, I know people will be like, that’s not how science works, that’s not the best way but after training for my entire life, since I’ve been 15 years old going on 20 years of training, I have developed a method that worked for me. That’s what it’s all about, this is all a learning experience for everybody, everyone’s going to learn something new,

they’re going to feel things out.  That doesn’t mean don’t try something, but that doesn’t mean you have to take the whole entire training method and apply it to your training. You can take bits and pieces of it that you like and you feel like you’re getting results on and apply it to something else and mix them together. There is absolutely no possible way that there is a perfect training method for everybody. There is not one method for everybody and just because you see your favorite bodybuilder or someone you look up to, or someone you’re friends with responding to a training program, it doesn’t mean it’s going to work for you. This has been and still is a very common problem that I get questions about. People are like, Oh, I’m going to try this, you know, SST, or I’m going to try Dorian, or I’m going to try this and im like

Yeah, try it, but take something from it that you like and apply it. Take pieces from everything that you learned and have tried and build your own training method, that’s going to be the best case scenario for you. Same thing when it comes to gear, everyone’s like, well, how much gear did you do? How much test did you do deca, growth, this. It doesn’t matter, it’s irrelevant what I’ve done, what anyone else has done. Now, the biggest pet peeve I have is what people don’t get it, just because someone uses a lot of gear and let’s say that person doesn’t look as good as the other person, he’s used just as much as that person. But that guy is a top 10 Olympia, Doesn’t mean his method was wrong for trying to go so high on drugs,

It just mean that his genetics are not that good. That’s all it means. It doesn’t mean he’s, anything less than the guy that’s placing top 10 Olympian using just as much or less than that guy. It’s because genetics is everything, I stress this so much in every topic It can be that surrounds this because so many people want to knock, Oh, it’s because he’s not doing this or he didn’t stack that. Oh no, he’s not timing it. Listen, I know all of the best bodybuilders in the world and if you guys out there that are fans and don’t have the opportunity or have the chance to talk to these guys on a one on one basis and know what they really do. You’re not going to fully understand how good their genetics are then because I can’t wrap my head around it.

And I talked to them personally. I’m like, there’s no way and they’re like yeah and they swear up and down. People have evidence of it and people, doubled down on it. It still boggles my mind that these guys can get away doing what they do sometimes and get the results they do. And I remember I do flashbacks to myself when I was there and the stuff I would have to do to get my  muscles to respond in the way they do and it still wasn’t even close to their response. Genetics is everything, when it comes to gear, to the training methods, how hard you have to train, how much food you have to eat, the way your body absorbs foods, the side effects that you get. Every aspect of bodybuilding is genetics. It’s not one part of bodybuilding

It’s everything in the view of bodybuilding. Some people’s genics now, also respond quicker than others. You have guys that peak early on in their career, like the Cody Montgomery’s, Steve Cuco responded very well. If you look at Steve Cuco’s T national photos, he can probably compete in collegiate nationals. There’s so many guy, like Branch Warren, Sean Raises, they responded so early in their career to the drugs, to the training, to the food, whatever it was they were doing. They’re hyper responders at a very young age. Then you have guys that flourish later in their careers, there’s Sean Rodin’s, the Brandon Curry’s, these guys hit their stride later on in their thirties and they found what worked. But at the same time, they also have elite genetics, but they didn’t figure it out.

They didn’t figure the formula to success until later on whether it was hiccups in their personal life, whether it was just bodybuilding hiccups, they figured it out later on. So don’t stress that you’re not a professional bodybuilder by 21, it doesn’t make your career any better by turning pro faster or earlier on. It honestly, probably ends those careers earlier than it does help them because I’ve seen most guys crash and burn, they are the ones that usually turn pro earlier or have success earlier in their careers. You rarely see guys go all the way through like Branch, Sean Ray or those guys that turn pro very young that’’ve lasted their entire career. But that’s very far and few between, when you do the math of how many people actually body built in this world, a very small percentage. I mean like minuscule. So the best thing you could do, if you want to have a successful off season is have patients understand that what you hear from others or even what your coach tells you, might not be the best way, you have to try things out.

The best methods that you can take with you from this video is always start small with everything. You don’t have to go heavy in the gym to get big muscles and you don’t have to go high doses to get big muscles. If you’re responding off 50 milligrams and im just using a very low number for an example, then you respond all 50 milligrams. You’re not going to get more because you’ve doubled it. If you’re responding, ride it out until it doesn’t respond and then increase it. That’s like the most simples thing to tell you guys probably in any video, but nobody does that. I get guys every single day, go Nick, I’m taking one capsule of a whatever sarm they bought getting great results, should I go to two? Why would you go to two

If you’re getting great results from one. The mind automatically thinks, Oh, to imagine if I take two of these what I’m going to look like, but the body does not work like that. Drugs don’t work like that, the body doesn’t work like that, chemistry does not work like that. So if you’re getting results out of it, ride that wave. There’s nothing else on the other side of that, that’s gonna make you better. All it’s going to do is cause side effects and cause more toxicity that you don’t need. Honestly, probably backfire because usually when people double and triple things up when they’re already getting results, you’re getting too fucking greedy and then you’re going to get some side effects. You don’t want that whether on steroids, hair loss, libido, suppression, whatever it is.

There’s no need for it. You have to understand that the body does not take in more chemicals because you doubled it, itdoes not say, Oh, I’m going to apply more now because you gave me more. You guys give me a hundred milligrams instead of 50, now you’re gonna get double the results. If it was like that, then everybody would look like a crazy freak. Genetics play a huge role in how well the body absorbs drugs, how well it takes the drug and utilize it. If there’s any side effects, those are all genetic dispositions that you can’t control. You can’t alter those things, can give, the greatest bodybuilders in the world, probably X X amount of whatever drug and I can give myself the same drug.

I’m not going to get the same response because their genetics are just better. That is what it boils down to everything. Some guys can train three times a week, some guys have to train six times a week. Some guys have to do this, have to do that. I think this is the biggest lesson you guys all have to learn is that you have to continue to work hard regardless of what your genetics are because nothing’s given to you. You have to have patience when it comes to any sport, not just bodybuilding, to evolve. Just because you’re not good today, next week, next month, doesn’t mean you’re not going to be good. You have to give things time to work out. You have to give things time to work. You have to get your body to respond, 

you have to give your body time to learn it. You know, just because you don’t feel it the first time or get results the first time you do it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. Either, you can go back and try and exercise or try a drug later on, try a food that you didn’t like or didn’t absorb. Well, later on the human body is going to evolve and you’re going to evolve with it. That goes to every aspect of your body building career and personal life. So welcome changes with your physique. Welcome changes with your mind and body. It’s part of life, it’s human evolution. Just because today something didn’t work doesn’t mean it won’t work six months from now or five years from now. I go through that almost every day with my body. Now I’m in my thirties.

Ever since I hit 29, 30 years old, I noticed my food allergies constantly changed things. What  I like to eat constantly changed, hat I enjoyed to do constantly changed like hobbies, whatever TV show, like everything varies more than ever, now that I’m older. So just understand that it’s part of life there nothing wrong with you. Just accept it and understand that sometimes you start out something, it doesn’t mean you’re not going to be good at it just because you weren’t good today. That’s today’s advice about off season growing and bodybuilding. I hope you guys enjoyed it and don’t forget, this video is sponsored by body science supps and savior sarms, get yours while you can at body sciencesupps.com 

So today I got an interesting podcast for you guys. I’m not sure if you guys saw it, but seven-time champ Phil, he did an exclusive interview with DAN SAULMAN, who runs the mr. Olympia competition now. On Instagram, I watched it the other night live, and then I found a channel that actually recorded because my recording on my phone did not work for some reason. I don’t know why, but he’s the only one that had the recording. So I want to shout him out, is called the great bodybuilder’s YouTube. I appreciate you for recording it and putting the interview up because I wanted to rewatch it with a different perspective. I was watching it as a friend and just registering what Phil was saying and getting excited about it.

Now as a journalist, I wanted to appreciate it from a different angle and look at it from a different perspective as a journalist and dissect what Phil Heath was telling us, what Dan was asking him, and the specifics on why Dan asked these questions. So, if you didn’t see it, I’m going to cover it. We’ll talk about a couple of the questions that were brought up and you’ll see why I brought them up because there were interesting answers from the champ. As I got to know Phil, we joke around 99% of the time, it’s never serious really and the times that it is serious, it’s very serious, and seeing him with this type of attitude and mindset, it wasn’t an act. He’s told me numerous times how focused and how different he feels about the approach to this Olympia.

I’m getting goosebumps talking about it because I was an athlete too, growing up, just like him, obviously not to his skill set, but I was very competitive and I did not like to lose. I had bad sportsmanship. I’m going to admit it, when I was a kid, I was really salty about losing. I mean, most guys are when they’re into sports. So you take that now with Phil Heath’s skillset athletic background, and then him after winning seven straight Olympia’s ever since he turned pro, whatever year that was. He hasn’t had much downtime it’s all been just a steady climb up and how many other pros could say that they went from turning pro to winning, Colorado pro, New York pro and then going places, the Olympia, placing at the Arnold and, and winning the Olympia, never losing again.

I mean, that’s a pretty serious track record, he never had a chance to like really absorb it all. He’s just going, going, going every year. If you think about it like one prep after another, it’s all just turned into one after a while. Then you have your personal stuff on the side going on, you don’t have a chance to even like absorb it all and register what’s going on. You’re just traveling over the world. I don’t think a lot of people put in perspective how exhausting that is. Then when you finally do end up taking second place in 2018, all the shit that was just compiling up for so many years, all hits you in the face. It’s it hurts. I went through the same thing on a very low scale level with turning pro Mr.USA

Then having everything turn from shiny, bright for me and my head and then it all turned to shit because I had to stop for whatever reasons. All my real-life starts to compile up and you’re like, fuck, man, I shouldn’t have ever put all this stuff off. He kind of went through something very similar, but he had to get humbled in front of millions of people and lose, then get ripped and ridiculed for something that was unavoidable. It was an injury, just like when someone tears, a muscle. He had a hernia, a tear in the abdominal wall. He competed for two years with it and he let it go because he had no downtime and said, fuck it. Still came 100% in shape and no one talks about how great of a shape he was or what he looked like.

They talk about the one stupid little thing on his midsection. We have all these click baiters that love it, they’re click-baiting and it’s just never-ending. I’m not doing this because I’m just friends with him. I’m doing this because these things need to be heard more of instead of these YouTube channels and bodybuilding channels just giving a negative light on our sport. They’re not bringing the good out, they’re bringing all the negative shit out, then they get clicked in the interview because they’re such a piece of shit to begin with. Then they click that and just try to say the opposite of what they’ve been doing the entire time. So I want to just talk about all the positive things that Phil is doing.

His charity work, all his events that he’s done for the sport, guest posings, giving back to the sport, flying around all the 30 countries and representing the sport with all different supplement companies and people don’t talk about that stuff though. They just want to talk about the one little negative thing in his stomach or this and that. Let me just say something, and this is coming from a good place, it’s not coming from being biased. This is saying that, that year when he lost should have never happened, let’s call it what it is and I think everybody can agree with that. Besides the little distension that he had in his hernia, there is no reason why I feel like he should’ve lost that night. He should ever have lost because of that, we can sit there and pick apart shots and everything else.

Phil is a different man right now. He’s coming for it, he’s just trying to close that narrative that he lost. As he uses montage that he’s unfinished business. It’s personal and business,this is not just something to do with bodybuilding and winning. This is a personal battle for him because I’m sure just like I did and what anyone else does, they go through a lot of different things mentally after you lose. Then all these other things come out and surface and relationships get severed or people have a different point of view on you. Then you have the whole transition to the fans and they hate you then they love you then they hate you they love you.

If you’ve never been in that position before, you have no idea what it’s like to go through that. I went through it on a very small scale. I keep comparing myself to him, but I’m talking about in relatively, what it’s like. It’s a lot to deal with if you’re not used to it or don’t have thick skin. Phil welcomes it, he loves the engagement with people, he loves engaging with fans, just like Dan Saulman talked about in the interview, which I’ll talk about. He talked about how he was the first Mr. Olympia to actually have social media and what it was like. I’m going to talk about that later, but there was no playbook to go by and say, “Hey, you know what, don’t do this, do that. Don’t do this. Don’t do that.” He was welcoming as it came.

He was just being real, being himself, and letting people see Phil Heath and interact with Phil Heath. No one ever thought that this was going to be like this. No one saw this coming, that Mr. Olympia’s and celebrities, were going to have Instagram and you’ll be able to, just send them a DM or send out a comment and try to get to them. After a while, though you start reading some shit. I tend to disconnect as much as I can. I don’t read much unless they’re positive things, or if I don’t want to see them, I just get rid of them. But when you’re Mr. Olympian, you can’t do that because it just comes in at 10 folds, a hundred folds. I mean, you can’t register what’s going on.

You just see all the negative shit, cause that’s where your brain goes. So for him to have to overcome all that on top of having to focus on his physique and continue to grow and be a better person, have business success, personal success, and relationship success. People don’t put all of that in perspective. They just look at Phil as, Oh, he’s the best bodybuilder in the world and Mr. Olympia and they don’t take him as a human. I think that’s where the disconnect comes from and I think now that he has that DVD coming out, you’re going to see behind the scenes of the real Phil Heath and the real narrative of what is was going on and who the real human is behind all this glitz, glamour, championships, winning and all that shit. It’s going to paint a different picture than what these YouTubers and bullshit reporters painted for you.

That’s why this interview is so great, because it really captured how focused he is and the laser like attention that he’s giving this prep, you could tell it’s different. It means something much more than it ever has to come back and win again. Who knows if he’s going to go for nine or 10, the guy’s only 40 years old but looks 30 years old and his body looks young, he’s refreshed, healed. A healed Phil Heath is unbeatable. I don’t think he’s ever lost a point before in Olympia. You guys can check, but it does not outweigh obviously how many points he’s won, It actually destroys it.

It smashes Phil Heath smashes you when you compete against him, there is no chance of winning when you stand next to Phil Heath. I don’t care, you can go put any ex Mr. Olympia, any bodybuilder next to him, no one smashes Phil Heath. So he’s coming in with that mentality that I have my Thor hammer, and I’m coming here to smash everybody. He’ll talk about this too, about how other bodybuilders are saying, Oh, now they’re more motivated because Phil’s in the show and you’ll hear Phil’s answer. It’s affirmative that he doesn’t need motivation. He’s got all the motivation he needs, he’s a champion and with that mindset I don’t know. I get goosebumps talking about it, I don’t know if anyone stands a chance. I really don’t think there’s even going to be a show, Ithink it’s going to be Phil and then everyone else, but let’s bring up some part of this interview with Dan and Phil. We’re going to talk about that on here real quick. A couple of things I brought up, they brought up for attention. I’m going to play it for you, and then we’re going to talk about it.

*interview*

Interviewer:  What was the, um, the end game and how did we get to this place where you were, um, you were feeling like now is the right time.

Phil:  Um, simply because if there was fucking unfinished business to take care of simple as that

First here, Dan asked him,  how did he get here? Long story short, what brought you here? what’s the reason why you’re coming back and, Phil answered them very easily and says, got unfinished business, that’s it. He’s very affirmative about the answer and like I said earlier, Phil is a man of a lot of words. Usually he makes jokes. He has fun with it, but you can tell, the focus is all there in his interview and he’s zoned in on his answer. That’s just it, he leaves it short, sweet and to the point, and this is different. I don’t know if you’ve ever watched any other affiliates interviews. He doesn’t do that much media coverage because he’s very picky about who he wants, whose platform he wants to share on, but this is a very firm and serious attitude. Which he has, this is not normal Phil Heath character on camera. That’s why I think this is very interesting to see, because this is obviously how he’s approaching this prep. The competitors in this Olympia are going to be watching this and saying, Hm Philly is really fucking focused. So watch the next question. Now it gets even better.

Interviewer: And I think to all those millions who follow you, um, but you know, but I’ll be honest with you that started in 2018, right? So you come to the 2018 Olympia, look into tidy all time record. And we’ll talk about that in a moment. And of course the unexpected happened, Sean Roden came in ready to battle and, uh, he beat you. And, um, I have to imagine if you could kind of go back to that night in 2018, and you can think about it for a second and think about the moments leading up to it while it happened in those days, weeks and months after that 2018 Olympia, if you could go back now that you’re a little bit more reflective, you’ve had a chance to kind of process and we’re as emotional today as we were at that time. Um, what are some of the things you might’ve done different?

You hear Dan asked him to give him a more detailed answer about what transpired between that time and now. You know Phil goes into basically how he’s owning the loss. We saw a couple on recent interviews, Phil was upset, he was emotional, who wouldn’t be? This is freshly after the Olympia, there’s a different attitude. He had to reflect and spoke about that on here. He talked to Jim Mandy about it, and he gets to 2018. It happened, I owned it, it is what it is, now 2020 is here and it’s time to put that shit in the past, move forward.

And win 2020, you can’t change the past. So this is a good learning lesson for a lot of you guys that harp on losses or harp on tragic things that happen. Even him, he had to go through it on a personal level and on a business level, that it is what it is. I didn’t win that day. As much as it hurts to hear him admit that, hear him say that he was not the best man that day,  he has to move forward and look at the next thing. The next task on hand was getting his hernia surgery and addressing the problem to why he lost that show that he was putting off because he didn’t want to give up a year of competing. He probably would have been better off just taking a year off and just had the hernia surgery and then came back.

But when you’re winning seven in a row, you feel fucking beautiful, you feel great. we’ve all been there before, i’m sure with something, no matter how small it is or how big it is. When you’re on a roll, you’re on a fucking role. As an athlete, you don’t want to jinx that, you don’t want to disrupt that, so you’re just like, I’m going to go with the punches. I’m going to see which best man will win, I’ll deal with it, I’ll do it, I’ll deal with it. The 2018 I’ll deal with it in 2019 had to have two surgeries because of the seriousness of that hernia. He missed most of 2019 and people still thought he was doing the Olympia in 2019, which is crazy. So he had the confidence boost and then he reflected, as you said, you know, with HAUNIE and Hottie over in Dubai, he wrote down some thoughts that he wanted to manifest.

We all didn’t know that Phil, he was a deep person, but now we’re hearing it firsthand from him that he had to manifest this. He had to think about it and instill in his mind that this is what he was going to do. This happened over a year ago now, and now we are a couple months away from the Olympia and he’s talking about those moments. So just take those in as an athlete or even as an individual that’s trying to be better in life. Writing shit down, does work, trust me it does.

Interviewer: By the way, you’re relatively young in the grand scheme of things, compared to other champions who were at this part of their process, right? So the question becomes, what is it that the fans can anticipate seeing from this version of Phil Heath, in contrast to what we saw the last time he took the stage.

So now you heard Dan ask, well, what can we expect to see from you this year? How are you going to look? And he said a healed Phil Heath, and then silence. I want to say, Dan didn’t know what to say, but Dan was probably hoping for a bigger, more in depth answer like I’m gonna be shredded, the best I’ve ever looked, I’m gonna be the biggest I ever was. But Phil just left it short and sweet. He has nothing to prove guys, this is what I’m trying to get at. He’s not trying to win anybody over. He’s not trying to persuade you with his words that don’t make him feel like he’s a champ already. He doesn’t need that.

He’s not searching for any answers. He’s not looking for any support from anybody. This is all about him and his journey in this Olympia and about how he’s going to accomplish this. He doesn’t need anybody right now. I’d be very surprised if we even see much or hear from him during this prep. Because, as a competitor, I was there. Obviously I was a bodybuilder. It was one of those things. It was nice to have social media to put up your photos, I mean at my level. I would never do that at his level, but to get motivation from the fans and people tell you how great you are, I mean, who doesn’t like to hear that. You’re lying if you don’t like to hear that. So for him to be very stern and just certain about that answer about how he’s just going to be healed and that’s it. He’s going to win, that’s spewing confidence and knows when he takes that shirt off backstage and starts pumping up, people are going to freak out.

Interviewer: What’s your connection with the fans because I know it’s always been sort of a hot cold journey for you and you’re never afraid to connect with fans. You’re not afraid to get into it with fans at times. It’s something that you’ve always, um, been kinda, you wear your heart on your sleeve. So, so talk about that relationship with the fans because for you, I think it’s a very unique one compared to other champions we’ve had,

So then as you heard Dan asked about how does he feel about the fan base. you wear your heart on your sleeve. Where does he feel like he’s at right now? So Phil basically said in that three minute speech that, he knows who his fans are and he’s not worried about the haters because he knows deep down what the true story is. He knows who he is, what he wants and he’s going to do it. That’s why he’s named Mr. Olympia again for the eighth time. People can say whatever they want, just like when they talk about politics, they can talk about different news channels, spew different things. The narrative is that he’s only worried about what he has to do. He knows what he has to do to get there because he was a seven time champ before.

He knows what the end game is, what it’s going to take, how much focus he needs to zone in on this prep. You could tell that nothing is going to sway his mindset at all or take him off his tracks.  That train right now, the Philly train is steaming, chugging and going full steam ahead towards that Mr. Olympia, eighth title. Just like he said, guys reach hard to be liked on social media. They reach hard to have a fan base. This guy has 3 million plus on Instagram alone, and Phil’s an Instagram guy, but he’s not giving you updates all day on his Instagram, but he posts it up. Can you imagine if Phil was reaching hard for fans, how he continuously posted and was aggressive on Instagram, what it would be like, it’d be a totally different Instagram you’d be looking at.

So he’s just saying straight up, I don’t need to reach for anything, I don’t need to prove anything to anybody. Everyone should know that I’m a seven time Mr. Olympia, in a row, they should know about and whom about, and what I show up looking like, he doesn’t have talk about it or be about it. It’s just going to happen. He’s going to show up and he’s going to be the best he ever was and that’s it. He doesn’t need to win anybody over and the people that will support him will support him. The haters are always going to hate, you’re always going to have hate in this world, no matter what, there’s always going to be one side that loves you and the one side that hates you. Especially when you get to a certain level of success, it’s just going to happen. You’re never going to have everyone on your side, that’s impossible and if you do, there’s something wrong. So if you meet somebody and all they do is have all these people that love them and just want to be around them and no one ever says anything bad about, then there’s something going on there, trust me. So, I really respect that answered by Phil. So here’s the next question,

Interviewer: eight time champion. Talk about what that means to you as you begin a contest prep that if successful would put you in a place that a few could ever, ever dream of.

So then Dan asks, what is it like to be measured against the greatest of those who ever did in our sport? The Ronnie’s, the Hanny’s, the Arnolds, the J all those guys. Then Phils one word answer, I mean, he’s very humble, It’s just unreal, you know, but then he gets into perspective on things. This is really good for some of you guys to listen to that are young and upcoming. Whatever you’re trying to do in life. Now let’s put this into perspective too before I say this. We’re talking about the guy with some of the best genetics ever to do this in bodybuilding. He wanted to be a basketball star originally, he was D-one or two basketball player, Denver, aspire to be in the NBA.

Obviously, he wasn’t the tallest man, not to make fun of him, but you know it’s tough. I mean, it’s the NBA. There’s only about 500 people in the entire NBA. So the odds go in the NBA, it’s very rough. He realized that, that door was not going to be open anymore and realized his potential in something else and this is good guys because if you aspire to be the bodybuilder, the pro, you looked up to Phil Heath and that door doesn’t work out for you, you’ve got to be positive and understand that another door might open, it’s not over because you didn’t make it at one thing. This is a good lesson for you young guys to listen to and this is good for me too because I still get caught up in things.

When I get overly obsessed with something, it doesn’t work out for me, i’m always like, fuck man, what am I gonna do now? It’s really good to hear from someone at his statue, at his level of success, with the sport of bodybuilding and business and whatever, to hear that he has the same problems that a regular real world person, a regular problem somebody else has, he’s human too. Basketball didn’t work out for him but it really worked out for him in bodybuilding. So there’s always something else for you in this life, whether it’s a small scale of a regular nine to five job, and you get moved up from the sales to a manager or whatever, there’s always something else for you. So be positive, keep your eyes open, keep networking, keep talking to people, keep all opportunities on the table.

You never know what you’re going to be good at or fall in love with. So leave all those opportunities open, that’s basically what he said here. Then he goes into a little more deeper stuff about being measured against those guys, how unreal it is and how he won eight in a row. But the main focal point that I wanted to bring up is just that Phil realized that basketball wasn’t working out and he sees the opportunity with bodybuilding, obviously. Who knows if Phil would have just kept trying at basketball, he was wise enough and articulate enough to realize, you know what, maybe I’m better at something else. I’m going to try this out, I love bodybuilding. Look what fucking happened. So last thing here, and then I’m gonna wrap this up.

Interviewer: There’s just a lot of great things happening around the fitness community and thought that you had a big part of it. I’ll let you have a last word before we get out of here.

Phil: Thanks Dan. I just want to tell everybody, thank you. Um, I want to shout out my team or my TGC, the Garcia companies. Thank you. Um, it’s took time to reflect and I’m back. Um, thanks Dan, thank you for this opportunity and be sure to grab those tickets. Obviously I’m going to be there and, uh, to all the competitors

So Phil ends that with no words for his competitors. Now, I thought that was just the fucking, the nail in the coffin line because he’s talking all positive about his team. He has Danny Garcia behind him, the rock, he has a documentary with seven bucks production. He’s grateful for everything, then, you know, he Phil had to get his laugh in with the little smirk, with the little jab. The good old jokester Phil because the entire interview, he was very stone cold, laser light focused on what Dan was saying, giving the right answers, not giving up too much answer. Just explaining what he needed to get out and that was it. Then he adds that at the end where “for my competitors” *nothing* . So if I was a competitor going to Mr.

Olympia and I was watching this and I had a real chance at being in the call out with Phil, I would think that mother fucker, I just can’t leave me hanging like that. The smirk on his face, I loved it. I think that was a great way to end this, this is a great interview with him and Dan,  we need stuff like this. This is what bodybuilding needs, we need the trash talking and the camaraderie and the fun aspect of it. This is what makes bodybuilding awesome. I don’t know if you guys watched the battle of the Olympia DVDs coming up, a lot of you guys might not be old enough, but man, it was awesome hearing Nasser and all these guys talking shit in their gym while they’re training, jacked out of their mind, pumped out of their mind.

He’d go over to Chris Cormier or Flex Wheeler, talking shit and he’s all jacked out of his mind. Everyone’s got their right to, to brag and it was just camaraderie. It was never personal. Everyone loved each other and that’s what we don’t have anymore, so much separation, individuality going on and it’s weird. I don’t like bodybuilding like this, so this is what we need. We need more of this, I hope there’s gonna be more of it. Um, it was a great interview done by Dan and it was a great interview, to hear from Phil finally talking about, going for his eighth win. I wanted to cover it because it wasn’t recorded anywhere, no one could rewatch it really, except for this channel. Like I told you, the great bodybuilders on YouTube, not many views.

So, you know, this needs more attention. This is the seventh time coming back. Everyone should be talking about this, about this interview, not about Phil, everyone’s all about Phil, but talk about this interview. This is great material to talk about. It’s a real positive thing to see in bodybuilding. So hope you guys enjoyed this, this is sponsored by myself, my store, body science supps. Follows that body science supplement on Instagram and if you guys need any help in anything, you know where to find me.

So we’re back to podcast 137, as you guys know, we have a new platform now on listing my videos because YouTube wants to ban me. We’re going to work with what we have and do the best we can with all the platforms I have, which are IGTV weekly/daily, Spotify, SoundCloud, Facebook, Pod Bean which is also audio-video. Also once a week, I’ll be doing a podcast with my friend,Santi Aragon, and that going to be called your bodybuilding plug and that’s every Friday on his YouTube 

I’m going to speak about the  reigning and defending two 12 champion Flex Lewis going into the open. There’s not much media covering this, which is kind of odd. I thought Flex would have a lot of people talking about him, but flex is still flat and he’s still going to be a serious threat. I don’t believe he could really win the title, but I believe he could definitely put up a fight. That’s just coming from my perspective that he can’t do it. At any given day, anyone can win any show, that’s what I would tell people in bodybuilding. Especially somebody with Flex Lewis genetics who’s like 245? Probably somewhere in the two twenties, I would have to guess.

So probably like 10, 15 pounds stage weight, which is going to be a lot on that frame. I’m interested to see though how much he is willing to reveal prior to the Olympia and how much build-up or excitement we’re going to get out of seeing what he looks like. He does post a lot on his Instagram story about working out, a lot of walks and, and talking and speaking to his fans, interacting with his fans, but we don’t see him revealing much. He usually has a sweatshirt on, usually stays covered up once in a while. Once in a while he’ll wear a sleeveless shirt, but I haven’t seen him uncovered in a while. Now the reason I’m making this video is that I  want to talk about the pros and cons of him going into this Olympia for the first time as an open competitor, what should we expect?

What can we expect and what should we expect as fans and as bodybuilding enthusiasts. I see it from both sides as a competitor because I get why he doesn’t want to reveal much going into the show. I also understand how he does and doesn’t want to reveal stuff for the fans to get them excited, build up momentum, bring more spark to this sport right now. Let’s just say he was not competing, what are we getting excited for? Given the situation, we highly doubt we’re going to have any international bodybuilders competing, which is crazy to think about, Olympia without a lot of heavy hitters in it. Now, luckily we have two Americans,Flex,, he’s not really America, but in the USA at least to save it. Imagine if Flex Lewis wasn’t here or Phillies, we would just have a Brandon Curry show and then Brandon Curry against who?

I don’t, there are no names out there that’d be excited about to see him again. Luckily we have Phil and Flex. Flex is a good story because, he’s never really crossed over to this type of level of competition, in the open class. He’s done open show before I believe two, they were against hottie, I believe. I’m not sure how, I don’t really remember the second one that he did. I should’ve looked but nothing crazy competition wise. We’re probably going to see some of the best comparisons ever As far as it goes with flex Lewis, Phil Heath, and then Brandon Curry. These are going to be crazy comparisons just between flex and Phil. I’m excited to see what Flex is going to look like filled out more without having to hit a weight limit, not deplete so much, not having to worry about filling out too much or too hard.

He’s going to just be able to coast into this prep and this peak week and eat up the entire time, which Flex was never going to be able to do, which could also play against him because he’s never been in this territory before, is he going to carve too much? Hopefully, he and Neil test run things. Is he going to come in like super full and lose all that? His well-known conditioning and detail that we’re all used to seeing, the separation and hardness. We don’t know what to expect. We never seen him do it at this level, this hard with  this much competition against him. He does have a very good chance of placing in that top three to five position without a lot of these heavy hitters coming because let’s be honest if Rollie, Rami, Bonac all these big guys we’re going to be in this top five, he’s got a really tough standing on his own, holding his own and standing up with these guys. Considering how much there is muscle mass difference in them. per square inch,

Yes, Flex stands there with anybody per square inch, but you have to also consider the Olympia is the elite of the elite and the most muscular. So they’re going to use the muscularity part as a heavy scoring part of the scoring system to hold against these guys. If they’re not overly muscular enough and flex is, but you know, you’re talking about Rowely Wrinkler, Phil Heath, William Bonac Who’s got just muscle on top of muscle on top of muscle. It’s very hard to sit there and say,  Flex is as equal or greater to than some of those guys. I can’t forget about Rami and even Brandon Curry. Brandon’s a big guy. I don’t know if you guys understand the discrepancy between the two 12 and the open class.

There is a lot of weight in between these guys, and this is the only time where I’m going to say that weight is going to matter. When you have a two 12 guys going to the open class Olympia, this is some serious muscle at this level. Have you guys haven’t ever seen these guys in person then you don’t know what it’s like to see these guys in person,  the videos don’t do them any justice and pictures don’t do any justice. It’s mind-blowing to see what they look like. So I’m really curious to see how much flex is going to reveal. If he does and doesn’t, is that good or bad for the sport? I’m asking you guys these questions. I think you should show a little bit to get us excited, a sneak peek maybe when he first starts his prep and then like halfway through and then that’s it.

Like two or three, That’s all we need not like weekly updates, but just to give us a little sneak preview of what he’s going to be bringing to the stage and bring out the camaraderie between these guys, the energy, and excitement because it’s a long time to the Olympia. December is a long time away. How are you going to keep these fans intrigued and excited, especially when we know a lot of the heavy hitters and favorite  bible aren’t even gonna be in the show. We need excitement, he is what the sport needs and it’s craving. Whether it’s a sit-down interview with these guys, them shit-talking each other, maybe the battle of the Olympia DVDs. We have to get some camaraderie excitement going between them.

I would love to see it happen, especially from the big names like flex, Phil, Brandon, and all these guys that are going to be in the show. It’s going to be very interesting. We’re going to have some guys that are going to place higher than they ever have in their entire life because of the smaller lineup. I think flex should be taking advantage of this year. His coming-out party as an open competitor for his brand and himself. I think he should be bragging about the way he looks because let’s be honest there’s only one Flex Louis and there are not many guys on that stage that could say, Hey I could stand next to flux Lewis and Flex is probably going to be bringing a serious package.

So I’m excited to see what you guys think. If flex should be more open about sharing the way he looks, should he not, should he stay covered up? should we have more,see more stuff of him on his platform. Like I said, there’s pros and cons to both sides of this. So I understand from the competitor side, how they don’t want to reveal too much, because then if you expose too much and you show up short to that on stage, everyone’s going to say, Oh, we told you, so that whole side. Then there’s a sidewall, he didn’t show the way he looks because he looked like crap the entire time, he knew he wasn’t ready, he was too small and blah, blah, blah. Then there’s the ones, the pros of showing your self and being confident and letting these guys feel that energy from you. From the other competitors like, Hey, I’m coming with this serious package and I’m ready to fucking win, make a valid point that I can stand with the open guys, even though I’m a two 12 guy.

So there’s pros and cons of wherever you look at it, there’s no right or wrong answer. I just want to hear what everyone thinks. I’m curious to see what he does it’s gonna be very exciting. I’m very intrigued about having him stand next to Phil. It’s something I’ve always wanted to see before I go, I always wanted to see the open winter versus the two 12 winter as the overall Olympia champion, but it never happened. Now we’re kind of going to see that this year, luckily Phil’s coming back and we’re able to see that comparison that we always wish to see, most likely. I mean, I think they’re going to sit next to each other, I hope so. We’re gonna be able to see what’s the difference between the open winter and the two 12 winter. With a extra few pounds.

I don’t want to bring any light to the person that brought it up, I want to just talk about this subject as a whole. I don’t think there’s enough information out there for people that watch the sport about why guy stomachs get distended, what the issue is and what causes it; The real reason why some people do and don’t have distended stomachs.

Sometimes it’s unavoidable when you’re a 250-pound bodybuilder and you’re eating seven to nine times a day like I was and like most of these guys are. So let’s state the facts, not everybody needs a growth hormone and insulin to look like a professional bodybuilder. A lot of guy’s genetic disposition is so good that they don’t need to use extra astronomical dosages of anything to get to that level. There’s a lot of Olympians that I know personally that I talked to on a personal level whether it’s text or phone calls, we chat regularly and they never touched insulin. They never touched double digits of a growth hormone because they don’t need it. There’s a lot of guys out there that just have good genetics and don’t need to push the envelope as I did.

Or a lot of you guys out there. I didn’t have those genetics, that’s why I had to push the envelope. It’s not because I want to take more drugs and damage my health in the long run. It’s not cool, I never thought that it was cool to take a lot of drugs and that is not why I did it. But that’s why a lot of people do it today because they think it’s cool and looks hardcore. To say that you’re on 2000 milligrams of something when you can easily get away taking 500 milligrams of it, that’s not what happened when I was a bodybuilder. Plus the lack of information when I was a bodybuilder coming up was incredible, we had no outsourced, we didn’t have resources like YouTube and all these other places to get more credible information from.

We just had our regular gym guys around us to talk about stuff like “hey, what’d you do bro?” “Oh, I tried this”. “Okay, let me try it.” That’s what it was like. I’m not trying to sound archaic, but that was the truth. 15 to 20 years ago when I was coming up as a pro, we didn’t have the resources. Things are much different now. Now it’s like, who can boast more about who’s on more and that’s not bodybuilding. That aggravates me because that’s not what got me interested in bodybuilding. Bodybuilding interests me because it was fun, it was exciting to see your body change the science behind it, the chemistry behind it, and how amazing it was to transform your body and how healthy it was to transform your body in the mirror. Then I got too obsessed and that’s when I started crossing over to using too many drugs all the time

And that’s when it got ugly and dark. There was no sunlight coming in when I was in that dark place. Just to remind you, that’s not cool,  that was not the hip thing to do. It was not presented in a glorified way as it is today. It was different back then you didn’t talk about that stuff either, it was respected.  No one walked around the gym boasting about how much they’re on that’s immature, childish and that’s just petty to me. So now let’s talk about genetics guys don’t need all that. Just because a gentleman has a big descendant stomach, does not mean it’s related to drug abuse. My stomach was distended 24 seven in the offseason, but my waist onstage was perfect.  just because you already have a distended stomach line in the offseason from the amount of food you’re eating. Eating does not mean you’re gonna have a big waste on stage.

Let’s make that clear, at the end of the day,  all that matters is what you look like on stage. Now our previous Mr. Olympia had an issue with a hernia. That’s the only reason his stomach was not the same as it normally is. it still wasn’t even bad because we had an abb and thigh pose, his stomach tightened right up. It was just hard for him to breathe because of the hernia. I had the same hernia right now. It’s sucks and uncomfortable, his hernia was way worse than mine. So again, the assumption that most people have is, “Oh my God, his stomach just descended, He must be on lots of growth hormone because his organs are growing”. Like, do you guys realize how much you have to take to get your organs to grow to that extreme?

It doesn’t happen, there are so many myths and theories online. Maybe your heart will grow a little bit, but your liver, kidneys, all that’s not growing at an exponential rate. To push out your stomach that far, it’s just from visceral fat, that’s all that happens in the offseason. that’s all it is, and it goes away to come pre-contest time. It gets a little bloated from the amount of food that you’re trying to put down every day. you’re eating upwards of pounds of food a day, What do you expect your stomach to look like? Flat and shredded all the time? Not when you’re a 250-pound bodybuilder and you have guys reporting that you’re supposed to have a flat stomach all the time, washboard abs 24/7,  365. That’s not the case. Most bodybuilders have a little bit of a stomach offseason with abs in there.

It looks like a big turtle shell and that’s basically what happens, especially when you’re training in the gym and you’re inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling, it’s going to be some variation to the stomach’s sticking out and in.  That just comes with the territory when you’re a big guy, little guys don’t have to worry about that. You’re not over-consuming food. Your digestive system is much more efficient because you’re not eating that much food. Obviously, if you catch anybody breathing in and out, they’re going to look descended, that’s just the nature of the territory. It goes with the game. Now, the next thing is the drugs don’t cause the damage that people claim it does. You would have to be a fucking total asshole to be able to grow your organs so big that it pushes out your stomach, this does not happen.

Maybe there is somebody out there, but that’s not the normal case, number one. Number two, it’s not contributed because of the drugs, most of the time. I guarantee nine out of ten because the amount of food you’re eating and maybe digestion’s a little disrupted because of the amount of food you’re eating, or maybe you just had a meal, it’s still sitting in your stomach, it’s not out of your stomach yet. That’s all it is. Number three, you do carry visceral fat. That that comes with a territory too, when you’re offseason. So you might be a little more distended than you normally are because you’re carrying higher body fat. Four, it could be from just stupid amounts of fluid. You know how fast I can blow my stomach up by chugging, a stupid amount of water or  an interesting shake that I’m drinking in the gym, it’s going to cause distention 

Then the last thing I want to talk about is when you’re taking growth, hormone, and insulin, you’re obviously increasing caloric intake. So, therefore, you’re going to have a little bit of more distension of your stomach because of the amount of food that you’re now pushing and forcing in. It’s going to cause a little more bloating. that just comes with the territory as well. So, it’s not directly from the drugs. So that’s a stupid theory,  I can’t stand hearing it anymore. It drives me nuts Because I abused drugs, my organs didn’t grow, My heart’s still the same size. That’s just a weird genetic defect if someone has that problem happened to them or they just have really shitty luck. That’s what it comes down to. Plenty of guys I know have taken more growth than I have and insulin for longer periods than

I have, never had any problems with their organs growing. So it’s just all related to food at the end of the day, are you over-consuming food or are you force-feeding, is there something that you’re eating that you’re allergic to? Is there something that’s not digesting? Well, that’s all it comes down to. So get rid of all these theories that people are going to explode from the inside out Because if that was the case, we would have all these guys having these issues and we’d be hearing about them by now. That’s never the case. So the overconsumption of food will definitely do it, especially carbohydrates, fats, not proteins unless you’re eating like red meat and stuff where it’s a little slower digesting, but when you’re kind of desperate, everyone’s lean, everyone’s flat when you get upwards of under eight weeks out

No one really distended because you’re not eating that much food at that point. You never see distension then unless there’s an issue with the breathing in and out in a workout. To put it into the present time. If someone’s prepping, they’re not going to have that problem. They’re gonna be much flatter stomach or not eating as much food. They’re doing more cardio, their metabolism faster offseason. It’s almost unavoidable, especially if you’re a 250-pound  bodybuilder. It’s just is what it is. Even with guys smaller, it could happen to because maybe they have had a shorter torso or a blockier your waist. It really depends on genetics and the way you look. So I can’t stand that argument. I can’t stand these click baits, it drives me nuts as I said, I’m a real bodybuilder to the core.

I’ve accomplished more than any of these YouTubers, I’ve been around longer than any of these YouTubers, and I had experienced being in those shoes, unlike any of these guys. So I will tell you first and foremost, my stomach was always distended in the offseason, always. I had the smallest waist on stage and that’s all that matters, is when you show up on stage is your way small and tight and do you have a great abdominal wall? Yes, I did every time. I can second that with my pictures. There’s evidence right there If you look at me, yes, I was bloated because I ate so much food. Even me pre-contest time carbo-loading even for a show, I looked like a whale because I wasn’t shitting properly because I was dehydrated and everything else, it happens. It’s not because of the drugs guys. So please you young guys paying attention to these things. Stop believing these myths that you see online and bullshit that people try to feed you just to get clicks. It’s not true.
