Welcome Back to The Beyond Condition Podcast for a Solo Episode.

What a couple of weeks it has been! Today I bring you an episode sharing a wild time, the result of needing to pull back to push forward.

I decided to create this episode to delve into the feelings you may encounter when heading towards overreach.

Topics Covered:

• Noticing Signs of Overreach

Learning from experience is key to evolving as a competitive bodybuilder. I want to share my experience to help you understand more about your own journey.

• The Benefits of Deloading

Deloads are unique to us all. It’s important to understand how to time deloads appropriately and how that helps you with continuous progression.

• Dealing with Fatigue

As competitive bodybuilders, fatigue is part of this journey, so how do we know when it’s fatigue that actually requires pulling back?

• Internal Conflict

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say we can keep pushing. We can start to make excuses in our own minds to keep going. I hope that by sharing my thoughts, we can learn together.

I hope you enjoy this episode.
