If you feel like you're doing everything right in your bikini competition prep or fitness journey training hard, eating “clean,” hitting your steps — but your body isn't changing then this episode is for you!  In this week's episode of Bikinis After Babies, we're breaking down the most common bikini prep and fat loss mistakes women make and exactly how to fix them so you can start seeing the progress you've been working so hard for.In this episode, we cover:1. Training Hard… But Not Training Smart → You might be showing up consistently, but if you're not training with progressive overload and real intensity, your body has no reason to change.2. Underestimating sleep + stress → If your sleep is inadequate, overstimulated, overtraining, and stressed out… your body will fight fat loss.  Recovery isn't optional in prep/fat loss. It's part of the plan.3. Inaccuracies in nutrition → You can eat clean foods and still eat too many calories.And yes… almond butter can stall your prep faster than a slice of cake. Food quality matters, but calorie intake still drives fat loss.4. Ignoring biofeedback → Digestion, cycle changes, inflammation, water retention, stress… these matter more than most women realize.  The scale doesn't always tell the truth — your biofeedback does.5. Comparing your journey to someone else's → The fastest way to ruin your progress is to copy another person's plan without knowing their body, metabolism, or history. Comparison creates panic decisions — and panic decisions ruin physiques.Your results aren't stalled because you're not capable. They're stalled because you're repeating patterns that don't match your goal physique….because most stalled results aren't caused by bad genetics or a broken metabolism. They're caused by small, repeated mistakes that add up over time… and keep you stuck in the same physique year after year.We hope that you enjoyed this episode and if so, we would LOVE it if you would rate, subscribe, and leave us reviews on how this podcast has helped you

Kreatin taucht aktuell überall auf. Im Fitnessstudio, in den sozialen Medien, in der Longevity-Debatte. Lange galt es als Supplement für Muskelpakete und Leistungssportler. Doch jetzt scheint es ein ganz neues Versprechen zu geben: mehr Kraft, mehr Energie, besseres Altern. Und da stellen sich viele die Frage: Brauchen wir das wirklich? In dieser Folge meines Podcasts DA GEHT NOCH WAS sprechen wir darüber, was Kreatin eigentlich ist und warum es gerade so viel Aufmerksamkeit bekommt. Kreatin ist kein Protein, sondern eine körpereigene Substanz, die vor allem in unseren Muskeln, aber auch im Gehirn gespeichert wird. Ihre Aufgabe: schnell verfügbare Energie bereitzustellen. Genau deshalb war Kreatin lange ein Thema für intensives Training und kurze, explosive Belastungen. Spannend wird es dort, wo der Blick heute weiter wird. Denn mit zunehmendem Alter verlieren wir Muskelmasse, oft unbemerkt. Dieses Phänomen betrifft Männer, aber vor allem Frauen ab 40. Kreatin könnte hier unterstützen, Muskeln zu erhalten, Krafttraining effektiver zu machen und die körperliche Stabilität zu fördern. Gleichzeitig schaut die Forschung zunehmend auf das Gehirn: bessere Energieversorgung der Nervenzellen, mehr mentale Leistungsfähigkeit, weniger Erschöpfung in stressigen Phasen. Aber wie sicher ist die Einnahme von Kreatin? Für gesunde Menschen gilt es als eines der bestuntersuchten Supplements überhaupt. Entscheidend sind Dosierung und Qualität. Drei bis fünf Gramm täglich gelten als alltagstauglich. Wichtig ist, ausreichend zu trinken und auf ein möglichst reines Kreatinmonohydrat ohne Zusätze zu achten. Kreatin wirkt nicht hormonell, macht nicht abhängig und ist auch für vegetarisch und vegan lebende Menschen geeignet. Aber braucht man Kreatin wirklich oder reicht Krafttraining als natürlicher Weg aus? Ab wann kann es sinnvoll sein, darüber nachzudenken? Und woran erkennt man, ob Unterstützung hilfreich ist oder schlicht überflüssig? Ich verrate es Euch. Eure Anastasia

Die Welt des Bodybuildings entschlüsseln: Einblicke von Michel Kühn zu Muskelkraft, Supplements und neuen Grenzen im Fitnessbereich In der neuesten Folge unseres Podcasts haben wir uns mit Michel Kühn zusammengesetzt, einem renommierten Dozenten und Wissenschaftler an der Universitätsklinik, um tief in die komplexe Welt des Bodybuildings und der Fitness einzutauchen. Mit dem Fokus auf Muskelkraft und die oft missverstandene Supplement-Industrie wollen wir Klarheit darüber schaffen, was für Athleten und Fitnessbegeisterte wirklich zählt. In der ersten Episode der Staffel haben wir Michels umfangreiches Wissen zur Muskelkraftforschung beleuchtet. Nun greifen wir das Thema erneut auf, um offene Fragen zu klären und tiefer in die Welt der Kraftsportarten einzutauchen – darunter Bodybuilding und Powerlifting. Michel teilt seine Erfahrungen und Einsichten und wirft ein Licht auf den aktuellen Stand des Bodybuildings sowie auf die Herausforderungen, mit denen Athleten konfrontiert sind. Er betont die Bedeutung von Ehrlichkeit in Diskussionen über Fitness und Leistungsfähigkeit und sagt: „Das mag ich, weil es Teil einer gewissen Realität ist.“ Diese Haltung gibt den Ton für ein offenes und ehrliches Gespräch über den Sport vor. Ein wesentlicher Teil unseres Gesprächs drehte sich um den Substanzmissbrauch im professionellen Bodybuilding. Michel räumt ein, dass viele Athleten sich der Risiken leistungssteigernder Substanzen bewusst sind, die harte Realität jedoch darin besteht, dass sie sich dennoch bewusst für deren Einsatz entscheiden. „Ich habe Mitleid mit den Hinterbliebenen, mit der Familie“, reflektiert er und macht damit die emotionalen Auswirkungen solcher Entscheidungen auf Angehörige deutlich. Dieses Gespräch regt dazu an, die ethischen Implikationen solcher Entscheidungen innerhalb des Sports zu hinterfragen. Im weiteren Verlauf spricht Michel die Marketingstrategien der Supplement-Industrie an und äußert berechtigte Kritik. Er merkt an: „Die Leute wollen verarscht werden oder sie wollen etwas, das zu ihren Bedürfnissen passt.“ Diese Aussage verdeutlicht die Frustration vieler Konsumenten angesichts des Hypes rund um Nahrungsergänzungsmittel. Während wir uns durch die verschiedenen Produktkategorien bewegen – von sinnvoll bis wenig effektiv – wird klar, wie wichtig es ist, als Verbraucher kritisch zu bleiben und zu wissen, was den eigenen Fitnessweg tatsächlich unterstützt. Eines der spannendsten Themen unseres Gesprächs war die aufkommende Substanz GLP-3, auch bekannt als Retatrotid. Michel erklärt, dass es sich dabei um die neueste Generation von GLP-1-Rezeptoragonisten handelt, die ursprünglich zur Behandlung von Diabetes entwickelt wurden, nun aber auch im Hinblick auf Körperfettreduktion und Insulinsensitivität untersucht werden. Offen teilt er seine eigenen Erfahrungen mit dem Produkt und unterstreicht die Bedeutung des Selbsttests. „Am Ende ist man immer sein eigenes Versuchslabor“, sagt er und plädiert für einen praxisnahen Ansatz, um die Wirkung solcher Substanzen wirklich zu verstehen. Zum Abschluss unseres Gesprächs mit Michel kristallisieren sich mehrere zentrale Erkenntnisse heraus. Erstens muss sich die Bodybuilding-Community den Realitäten des Substanzkonsums und dessen Konsequenzen stellen. Zweitens ist ein kritischer und informierter Umgang mit der Supplement-Industrie entscheidend für nachhaltige Fortschritte im Fitnessbereich. Und schließlich könnte die Erforschung neuer Substanzen wie GLP-3 den Weg für innovative Entwicklungen in unserem Verständnis von Körperzusammensetzung und Gesundheit ebnen.

If you're struggling with food noise, rebound eating, or fear of "normal eating" after a bodybuilding show (or years of extreme dieting), this episode is your reset. We'll cover how to eat normally after prep, rebuild food trust, reduce binge urges, and transition away from tracking macros without losing control. Welcome to Boss Bitch Radio. I'm Diane Flores, and I help retired bodybuilders, former competitors, and extreme dieters stop living like they're still in diet season - so they can stay athletic, hot, and healthy without food fear, food noise, or massive rebound chaos. In this episode, we're diving into how to eat normally after a bodybuilding show, why post-show nutrition feels so damn hard, and what actually causes rebound eating after show (hint: it's not a lack of willpower). If you've ever gained weight rapidly after a show, struggled with binge eating after prep, or felt stuck tracking every bite because you're terrified to stop, this conversation will hit home. Even if you've never stepped on stage, if you've dieted like you were prepping for one, this episode will resonate. This is about repairing your relationship with food, recovering from extreme dieting, and learning how to eat like a normal, confident human again - not someone still trapped in prep brain.

Post-show depression is real. After a bodybuilding show, many women feel empty, sad, anxious, unmotivated, and disconnected - aka the post-show crash. In this episode we talk about post-show blues, identity loss, rebound eating, and how to recover mentally and emotionally after prep. I share my own experience stepping off stage after winning my pro card and breaking down backstage. Relief, gratitude, grief, fear, and anxiety all at once. If you've ever felt lost in life after competing, you are not crazy and you are definitely not alone. We get into why post competition depression happens, how extreme dieting recovery plays a role, what peak week mentality does to your brain, and why food noise after dieting can feel so loud. We also talk about reverse diet aftermath, hormones after prep, and why your body softening doesn't mean you "failed."

Body Building | Apostle Moses Mukisa

Coming out of a bodybuilding show can seriously mess with your head - and no one really prepares you for that part. If you've ever dealt with post show blues, rebound eating, loud food noise, or felt like your brain was still stuck in peak week even though the show is over, this episode is for you! I'm Diane - retired IFBB pro and longtime competitor coach and in this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down what actually happens after a bodybuilding prep. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Most post-show plans focus on reverse macros, training, and cardio. What they miss is the identity crash, the control spiral, and the mental health fallout that so many women experience once the structure of prep disappears. If this hits home and you're ready to unwind prep brain and calm the food noise, you'll find a link in the show notes to book a clarity call and see if one-on-one coaching makes sense for you.

In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Lee Priest at the iconic Gold's Gym in Venice California, to unpack the real foundations of bodybuilding: hard training, simple nutrition, and ruthless consistency. Lee shares what his actual contest prep looked like (including the cycles people still argue about), why modern bodybuilding often looks "softer," and the intensity mindset most lifters have lost. We also go deeper on focus, distraction, and why phones are quietly destroying training quality, and even life quality. If you're serious about building muscle, staying powerful as you age, and cutting through the noise, this one delivers.   5 Bullet Points: Lee's real contest-prep cycle, explained simply Why "more gear" often makes you worse Old school training principles that still win The intensity mindset most lifters avoid Phones, distraction, and lost training quality   About Ben Ben Pakulski is the Chief Performance Officer to elite executives, successful entrepreneurs, and top athletes.With over 25 years of experience, he coaches high achievers to build the physical, psychological, and metabolic resilience required to lead at the highest level. As the creator of the Muscle Intelligence framework, Ben specializes in aligning biology and behavior to drive sustained peak performance. His mission is to redefine what's possible for people in their prime and push the boundaries of human potential.   Guest Bio Lee Priest is a legendary Australian IFBB professional bodybuilder known for world-class proportions, freaky density, and a brutally honest voice in the sport. Rising through the ranks as a teenage standout, Lee earned his pro card in the early 1990s and became one of bodybuilding's most iconic physiques through the late-90s and 2000s. He's respected not just for how he looked on stage, but for how he trained: hard, simple, consistent, and focused on execution over ego. Today, Lee remains a fan-favorite for his unfiltered opinions on modern bodybuilding culture, drugs, training intensity, and what it actually takes to build an elite body.   Time Stamps: 00:00 - Meeting Lee Priest: A Bodybuilding Legend 01:45 - Lee Priest's Early Career and Challenges 03:28 - Training at Gold's Gym: Memories and Changes 07:53 - Competing and Training Philosophy 11:18 - Reflections on Bodybuilding and Life 32:58 - Commonwealth Connections and Prime Ministers 33:13 - First Exposure to Olympia 33:35 - Comparing Bodybuilders: Then and Now 34:18 - Training Techniques and Intensity 42:06 - The Role of Technology in Training 46:23 - The Importance of Family Values 47:06 - The Influence of Social Media 48:15 - Longevity and Health Concerns 53:37 - The Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Kids 56:02 - Concluding Thoughts and Future Plans 57:31 - Personal Reflections on Training and Health 01:00:16 - The Evolution of Training Methods

Why do so many driven men work relentlessly, achieve success, and still feel unfulfilled?What if the real issue isn't effort—but identity?In this episode, we unpack the hidden pressures, internal battles, and unspoken frustrations men face around purpose, discipline, and leadership—and why grinding harder often leads to burnout, not clarity.Our guest, Austin Joel Sims (AJ Sims), is a coach, mentor, and founder of Cement Factory, helping men build strength, discipline, and identity from the inside out. AJ began competing in bodybuilding at just 12 years old and trained alongside elite athletes, including four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler. Today, he blends performance, faith, and mindset coaching to mentor men worldwide, lead retreats, build purpose-driven brands, and raise his family in Oklahoma.Together, we explore the difference between striving from a wounded mindset and leading from a grounded identity, how unresolved trauma quietly drives ambition, and what it truly means to build a life rooted in purpose, peace, and standards.If you've ever felt like you're constantly proving yourself—or wondering why success doesn't feel as fulfilling as it should—this conversation will challenge how you think, lead, and show up.Quotes:"Covenant, not contract—contracts are meant to be broken, covenants aren't broken.""You recycle your pain. Don't just go cry to cry. Actually use that as fuel in a healthy way—not from a state of internal anger.""Standards are not pressure. Standards are alignment."Actionable Takeaways:Audit your ambition: Identify one area of your life where you're striving to prove something rather than building from clarity. Ask yourself, Who am I trying to impress—and why?Shift from effort to identity: Write down three standards you want to live by daily (not goals). Then ask, Do my current habits align with the man I say I want to become?Address the root, not the grind: Take time this week to reflect on a past wound, failure, or disappointment that may still be driving your work ethic. What would change if you led from healing instead of hustle?Create a daily non-negotiable: Choose one small, disciplined action (morning silence, movement, journaling, prayer, or reflection) and commit to it for 7 days—no matter how you feel.Redefine success: Ask yourself this question and write the answer down: If success had nothing to do with money or status, what would a “well-lived life” actually look like for me?Conclusion:This conversation is a reminder that real strength isn't built by grinding harder—it's built by leading from the right identity. When discipline is rooted in purpose and clarity, it stops being exhausting and starts becoming sustainable.Whether you're a high performer feeling burned out, a leader questioning your direction, or someone who knows there's more beneath the surface, this episode challenges you to slow down, examine what's driving you, and rebuild from the inside out.Because when identity is solid, everything else—leadership, performance, faith, and fulfillment—has a foundation that lasts.

What if your biggest setback became the beginning of your greatest comeback? From tragedy to triumph. From paralysis to the Pro stage. From surviving… to truly living again. I'm honored to share my latest Age Is Irrelevant episode featuring the incredible IFBB Wheelchair Pro 54 yr old Sharla Peterson. She calls it God's plan. I call it unstoppable grit. Her journey is one of courage, discipline, and refusing to let life's hardest chapter be the final one. Her journey is a masterclass in mental toughness, faith, and reinvention — proof that strength is measured in mindset first, that adversity can become your advantage, and that it's never too late to reclaim your power and purpose. We talk about: ✨ Her life and fitness journey before the accident ✨ The day everything changed ✨ The emotional and physical battles she faced ✨ Rebuilding her identity ✨ Discovering adaptive bodybuilding ✨ Becoming an IFBB Pro ✨ The mindset required to rise again Sharla is proof that strength isn't about what happens to you— it's about how you rise.
