One of the hardest things about building muscle is being able to consume vast amounts of food. And that's why we say competitive eating is bodybuilding's distant cousin. But for a plus sized drag queen, who is already big, it's a challenge pivoting into bodybuilding and losing fat while building muscle at the same time. Let's Grow Big Together! It's the podcast that reminds you it takes a lot of courage to sashay in heels, and even more to deadlift in them.In this series, we take a look at the passion for muscle, adventures in bodybuilding, muscle gods, muscle worship and practical advice to putting on the gains.Today drag queen and bodybuilder Spencer Duncan joins us to look at going from being Vivica Galactica, a plus sized drag queen on the reality TV series Camp Wannakiki to nabbing the bronze medal at the NPC Midwest Gladiator 2025, Masters 35 and over division.SLAY QUEEN! Plus: How imitating others robs us of our own voice.Losing your dad just weeks before stepping on stage. Follow us on Instagram:★ instagram.com/spencerblooms★ instagram.com/faustofernos★ instagram.com/marcfelionHelp Fausto & Marc Fight Blindness and Heart Disease:★ https://gofund.me/00771d8fe

A surprise not-totally-festive edition of Radio Clash, where I talk about a bird I think about a lot (the lost Kauaʻi ʻōʻō bird – apologies for the transliteration but those special symbols will likely gum up the works in the feed and tags) and what Christmas means to me now… I play some new and old mashups and original music – some of which is my favourites of the year, but mostly older since I don’t listen to music in the same way anymore. Loving the new Saint Etienne and Lily Allen albums though, and K-Pop Demon Hunters (DERPY 4EVAH!) and new-ish music from B. Dolan, Hallmighty and Lankum. Buckingham Nicks album gets a timely re-release (are they talking again?) so talk about that and the legendary Coffee Plant demos – and visit Aidan Moffat and RM Hubbert’s Christmas Ghost Stories album…and play the last of my choices from Tom Rasmussen’s amazing Body Building album. And some festive? festering? tracks that have been on ice stuck at the North Pole since Xmas two years ago. Joy to the world and all that, there’s a theme about wanting 2026 to be a lot less shit…but not that hopeful, concentrating on what Xmas is supposed to be about, rather than all the capitalism, food and tradition. Peace on earth for all would be a nice place to start? Not So Flappy Bird But I Bet It’s Ghost Is Angry (2:27, 201Mb) Captain Obvious – What Believing Sounds Like (Huntr/x vs Journey) Bill McClintock – Sleigh Bitch –Explicit– (Carpenters and Buckcherry) B Dolan – Fight Naked Lambrini Girls – God’s Country Problem Patterns – Christmas Number One Obscurest Vinyl – The Secrets Your Asshole Keeps Instamatic – Cranes In The Waterfall (Solange vs Stone Roses) Saint Etienne – Sweet Melodies Lewis Scarole – Moonlight Banquet (Mike Oldfield & Maggie Reilly vs Bloc Party) Lankum – Ghost Town Xinon – Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (One Gameboy Remix) Mike Anthony – Why Can’t We Live Together Tom Rasmussen – Joy Aidan Moffat and RM Hubbert – Weihnachtsstimmung HallMighty – Drive Home Alone For Christmas (The Cars vs. Chris Rea ft Olivia Rodrigo) Jenny Stardust – My Arms Are Just Fuckin’ Stuck Like This Piers Faccini , Ballaké Sissoko – One Half Of A Dream One True Pairing – The World Said No [Domino Recording Co] Black Box Recorder – Do You Believe in God?

Their conversation takes a personal turn with Brandon sharing what he has done over this N orthern Hemisphere summer to get shredded, how he has leveraged his model of high energy flux in a fat loss phase to get the most out of his food and his training, the foods that he chose, supplements he takes and how he implemented rapid fat loss days (aka protein sparing days) to accelerate loss - and his approach when things got tough. Brandon normally regales us with the literature and client stories but today it is a mix of his personal practices and how this has been informed by his understanding of the research.

This episode marks three years of Becoming Relentless- three years of telling the truth about bodybuilding, psychology, identity, and what it actually takes to grow as an athlete and a person.In this anniversary episode, I break down the biggest lessons that kept showing up across every prep, every client transformation, and every conversation on this show. These aren't surface-level takeaways. They're the things that really change people:• Why discipline isn't glamorous, but it's the backbone of every result• The biological realities you can't “out-mindset” your way out of• How your environment shapes your success more than motivation ever will• The post-show identity crash and why it's universal• The value of honesty with PEDs, food obsession, body image, relationships, all of it• Why self-trust is the real transformation most people never buildI also talk about the real origin story of this podcast, what I thought it would be, and what it's become. Bodybuilding might be the surface, but the real work is becoming someone who keeps promises to themselves.Year four is going to look different- deeper, more honest, and more growth-focused than ever.If you've been here since day one or today's your first episode, thank you.

Kreatin – viele kennen es nur im Zusammenhang mit Bodybuilding und stempeln es als „Männersupplement“ ab. Dabei gehört es zu den am besten erforschten und effektivsten Supplements überhaupt – und gerade für Frauen kann es ein echter Gamechanger sein. In dieser Episode spreche ich darüber, - wie Kreatin nicht nur den Muskelaufbau und die Trainingsleistung unterstützt, sondern auch die Knochengesundheit stärkt und altersbedingtem Muskelabbau (Sarkopenie) vorbeugen kann, - warum es auch im Gehirn wirkt – für mehr mentale Energie, Fokus und Stressresilienz, - welche Rolle Hormone und Lebensphasen (z. B. Zyklus, Menopause) dabei spielen, - und wie du es richtig einnimmst – Dosierung, Timing, Qualität und worauf du achten solltest. Kreatin kann Frauen helfen, stärker, widerstandsfähiger und energiegeladener zu werden – körperlich wie mental. Gerade wenn du regelmäßig trainierst, viel leistest oder einfach gesünder älter werden möchtest, solltest du dir diese Episode unbedingt anhören! Hast du Fragen oder Feedback zum Thema der Episode?

In today's episode, I sit down with IFBB Pro Mallory Ennis — a mom, business owner, and women's online wellness coach with a powerful story of resilience and faith. Mallory began competing in 2014, stepping on stage 10–15 times in just two seasons before taking an eight-year break to get married and start her family. She and her husband returned to the stage together in 2023, and in 2025, Mallory earned her Pro card at North Americans, just months after her husband earned his.   Her journey is full of perspective, healing, and honesty, and I know so many women will see themselves in her story.   TOPICS COVERED -Recovering from an eating disorder -Being married to a competitor -Returning to the stage after years away -Setting an example for your kids -The value of having a committed coach -Advice for new moms -Walking in faith   CONNECT WITH CELESTE: Website: http://www.celestial.fit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celestial_fit/ All Links: http://www.celestial.fit/links.html   CONNECT WITH MALLORY:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mallory.ennis/   TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 5:24 bikini now versus then 8:17 living the lifestyle 13:50 challenges competing with your spouse 18:03 benefits of bodybuilding in regular life 25:33 overcoming disordered eating 28:17 growing in improvement season 32:05 finally going Pro 37:45 her approach to coaching 43:00 coming back to stage after having kids 48:00 is bodybuilding selfish? 53:15 consistency over perfection  56:39 faith in god 64:28 advice for competitors

This episode sponsored by The Max Screen Printing LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Ray Minger hits Dropping Bombs with a raw masterclass on resilience, discipline, and building a million-dollar empire from scratch. Starting as a teen bodybuilder obsessed with gains, Ray shares how tragedy sparked his passion, pushing him to championships, and learning the hard way about bodies, booze and bad decisions. At his peak, a massive heart attack nearly ended it all—until he walked out on that dire prognosis and rebuilt stronger.   After building The Max Screen Printing into a 7-figure company, Ray reveals his new mission: "Age Better," a movement beyond apparel into discipline, stoicism, and longevity—because quality of life beats quick fixes. He warns about the "dark side" of bodybuilding (steroids, heart risks) and shares tactics for dark seasons, the reality of injuries, plus tips on scaling businesses. If you're bored at your current level or rebuilding after setbacks, this conversation will push you past excuses and into action. Watch now and age better—in business and in life.
