Episode 144 - TCC Back In The Studio! - Prep Life, Natural Season Updates & Talking Sh*t

Welcome Back To The Coaching Collective Podcast! We're back in the studio for the first time in a long time and it feels good! In today's episode, Michael, James, Jude & Lucas sit down for a proper catch-up episode straight from the new podcast studio. No guest, no agenda just an honest conversation about everything going on right now. We kick things off talking about the TCC team sponsoring the IFBB Season B & C natural shows, what we're hoping to see from the natural pathway, and why consistent judging and a clear progression for natural athletes matters more than ever. From there, the boys dive into prep life where they're all at heading into Season C, the Queensland and Adelaide shows, competing overseas, and the honest reality of peak week, sleep, caffeine, and keeping your head straight when the grind gets tough. We also get into the international bodybuilding scene, the standard of judging across different countries, what it actually takes to turn pro, and why sometimes the most honest feedback is the hardest to hear. Oh and if you've ever wondered what these guys actually eat in prep, brace yourself. It's not pretty. A bit of banter, a bit of bodybuilding, and a whole lot of real talk. Enjoy!
