Welcome to Episode 209 of the Bodybuilding Down Under Podcast!

With the final national shows of the season just around the corner, we tackle two of the most common yet least discussed realities of competitive bodybuilding. First up, what actually happens when you overeat on prep. We cover carb blowouts versus high fat binges, how being extremely lean changes the way your body may store excess food, and how we handle these conversations with our athletes when it happens.

From there we shift into the post show recovery phase, covering common coaching mistakes, how to set recovery macros, why framing recovery as an extension of prep rather than the start of the off season makes a huge psychological difference, and the importance of celebrating small wins over chasing perfection.

To wrap up, we each share out top practical tips for getting through post show, from swapping intra workout carbs for more food volume to the simple advice of just being kind to yourself.

Enjoy!
