He emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between abductors and adductors, particularly in targeting the upper glutes. Drew critiques common practices like waist trainers and belting, favoring muscle isolation and proper posing techniques instead. He discusses hip flexor issues, the significance of muscle priming for optimal performance, and the critical role of leaving egos behind in the gym. Drew also highlights the importance of lifestyle choices in achieving growth and progression, stressing that attention to small details can make a big difference at higher levels of competition. Finally, he emphasizes the value of educating athletes and the utility of providing footage to coaches for analysis and improvement.Drew Brannon, a University of South Florida Exercise Science graduate, co-founded Pinellas Ultimate Strength House, a premier 7,000-square-foot training facility in Largo, FL. As a dedicated coach and entrepreneur, Drew specializes in working with diverse clients, from NCAA athletes to orthopedic rehab and bodybuilding enthusiasts.

They also touch on the importance of learning from failure and what interventions work quickest and  best for getting clients back to a healthy body after a bodybuilding competition.

Keep listening to hear how Christie worked with Zach to get to her goal and what is next in store for her as she works on her next phase of health.

Currently doing 3 full body workouts/week, 12k steps per day. Getting married next June and I want to grow my back and shoulders so I look great in my dress. How should I change my programming to make noticeable gains in my shoulders/back but still maintain the other areas of my body, especially the glutes? I plan on going into a slight surplus over the Fall/Winter, then cutting prior to the wedding. (14:25) -  I do squats and deadlifts as part of my programming, but as soon as I get close to failure or go for a PR (165 for squats, 195 for DL) I end up hurting my back. I've seen chiropractors, PT, coaches, and nothing seems to help. I know progressive overload is important for muscle growth but I can't seem to make meaningful progress on these lifts. Should I just keep these lifts in, but at lesser loads, because they're good for the body, and just try to overload on my other lifts? Or is there a different solution? (26:00) - I have close to 60lb to lose after losing almost 100 and gaining back 30 . I have struggled for a long time and feel like I desperately need to work with you. Unfortunately money is tight and I can't seem to make it happen. If I were to save up, how long would you say I needed to work with you in order to get on the right track to lose the weight? Would 3 months be worth it or would it need to be longer? The weight gain and struggle is beginning to affect every aspect of my life and I need help! (33:00) - In regards to late night hunger, You mentioned freezing casein protein as a night snack (ep 214). In my current meal plan, I have yogurt, and 15g peanut butter. I've started saving 1 of my protein scoops, mixing it with the yogurt and peanut butter and making popsicles with it as my late night snack. I also started saving my veggies till the end of the night and snacking on them. Is there any harm in doing it this way?

Interview with Denise Wedderburn, NPC bikini competitor! In this interview we discuss her experiences in college, family, and her professional body building competitions. I don't think some people realize the dedication it takes to do competitions and look good on stage. From the training, to counting calories and macros, meal prep, etc. It becomes your life for awhile. Your social life disappears, and you focus solely on this one day very far into the future. As the day of competition draws nearer, it gets harder.

Laureen (not HD) is a trauma therapist, bikini competitor, East coaster, and a human who has experienced excessive bullying for most of her life for various reasons. I wanna preface this episode by asking that you respect her bravery in making herself accessible to people by not making any comments about her physical appearance please. It was amazing that she offered us her story and the vulnerability that came with it. Now that's out of the way . . . As a Bikini Competitor, Laureen had what became realized as her first outbreak while on stage in a competition. There was a sense of denial with the initial symptoms which she went to the ER for not once or twice, but 3 times where she was treated for the common, curable STIs because they thought that was the cause of her discomfort/symptoms. She was able to focus on her show by just pushing this all down. She eventually received a diagnosis and meds to treat the symptoms and outbreak, but still sort of navigated the denial stage of grief.

What's it like to be a bikini competitor, deep into prep? More specifically, what does a normal day in the life a bikini competitor, who is deep into prep vs. one who is in their offseason, look like? In this episode, Jessica and Kayleigh speak on this topic from their own past experiences. 

The hardest part for most people when they want to get fit is finding the time. This is one excuse guest Mary Lynch does not want to hear. She is a mother of 3, a nurse, and a bodybuilder which is a full time job itself. On this episode Mary shares her experience going from gymnast in her youth to putting on weight to wanting to get fit again and then getting right into competing. She uses the stage as her motivation and you won't hear her giving excuses as to why she can't, she will figure it out.
