Hey Guys and welcome to the first episode of KZPT Audio for 2021 I hope you all had a relaxing break, I know I did, and hoping we're ready to absolutely crush 2021 and achieve a post lockdown body you can be proud of. If you have always been curious about physique sports and competitive bodybuilding, or when you see someone compete you're not quite sure how they pick a winner, or what the judges are looking for then this is the podcast for you. Vicki Arief has spent the last 20 years on the judging panel of multiple bodybuilding federations and worked with thousands of competitors to bring their best physique to the stage. We're going to talk about each division and what the judges are looking for, we're going to talk about the physique and how to make it look as presentable as possible to showcase your hard work and I think straight away you're going to be able to tell how passionate vicki is about beautiful bodies. If you're thinking about competing in 2021 and beyond then this is a must listen, As there is a big chance if you're competing in Melbourne Vicki will be on that judging panel critiquing your body and this is an easy way to find out what the panel is truly looking for. If you have a friend competing this year I would love for you to share this podcast with them, There is so much in this interview that does not get spoken about on any other platform and can help them avoid a lot of first timers mistakes.

People from all walks of life walk through those gym doors and it falls on the trainers and coaches of these gyms to develop strategies for a vast population, and it's important that when you are doing this you look at the evidence based approaches and build your foundation on what's been proven to work, and then based on the outcomes of the individual you decide what to do, and that is exactly what I want to talk to you about today welcome Brendon!

Walk with me! #walkwithkarl @coachkzpt Now it's important when you are gathering information, you are getting it from credible sources. You can get information from a PHD or someone very up To date with the literature, but sometimes that leads to answers that don't really fit in with day to day life and isn't really applicable. You can also listen to the practitioners, the coaches, the people in the trenches but what happens to us is we get so caught up taking the sessions and applying our already obtained knowledge, that it's hard to find time to keep upskilling and learn more so you get very stuck in the way you think and apply. Then we have those select few who love the science, love the data and then have the passion to apply it to real people to achieve god-like results for themselves and the people they work with. Brandon Kempter is a Comp Prep Specialist, Winning the ICN Worlds Bodybuilding Overall, which is in my opinion one of the greatest achievements in Australian Natural Bodybuilding history. 8 years in the fitness industry, creating 100's of physiques that go against nature with his signature “BK Conditioning”. Today, I'm going to talk about competition, immune function, the science behind home training and what it takes to become a pro from someone that actually started on a farm with very limited equipment and was able to start his journey to where he is today so welcome to the podcast Brandon Kempter!
