Description
Steve Hall and Magic Mike open with a light, personal catch-up before moving into a wide-ranging Q and A on contest prep, training, tracking, and coaching decisions. They also touch on current personal updates, recent body composition changes, and a few reflections on bodybuilding life, travel, and old prep memories.
They cover practical lessons from dieting, how to judge fullness and conditioning, and when it may be time to step away from competing. They also answer listener questions on tracking, training setup, cardio, social norms, and the usefulness of limited equipment.
