Everything feels different at a meet vs the gym.

——————————————————————————————————————-

We often see pictures of bodybuilders and fitness competitors in magazines that were taking the day of a competition. The look and conditioning they have for a show is an extreme look that may not resemble what they look like on a day to day basis at all.

The reported weights a powerlifter can handle at a competition is also different than what they might use during a regular workout.

The difference between a regular workout and a competition become obvious when you give it a try. Likewise with conditioning and the look you can maintain regularly and on stage at a bodybuilding show.

In today’s podcast we’ll talk about the difference between competition condition and strength and every day condition and strength.

You've got to find the sweet spot

———————————————————————————————————-

What do drugs, exercise, alcohol, food, and stress have in common?

They all follow the principle of Hormesis

Hormesis is the concept that a given stress to your body has an amount that is too little, an amount that is too much, and an amount that is optimal.

Getting the most out of your health, fitness and diet efforts requires you to find the optimal level, or the ’sweet spot’.

In this podcast we’ll talk about hormesis and explain how it pertains to various parts of your lifestyle.
