In this week's episode of Bodybuilding Down Under, the team dives into some of the most practical and evidence-based questions in bodybuilding, covering everything from nutrition timing in mini-cuts to the finer details of peak week and show day execution. We start by discussing meal timing in mini-cuts: does it really matter when you're in a steep calorie deficit? Jack, Lawrence, and DY unpack the science around protein distribution, pre-workout fueling, and how timing can influence hunger, performance, and muscle retention during short aggressive dieting phases. Next, we break down the critical elements of peak week and show day preparation. DY shares his insights on the importance of structured routines, hydration, and recovery management, while Jack and Lawrence highlight practical strategies like early starts, using checklists, and having reliable carbohydrate sources on hand. We also tackle the challenge of prepping while travelling, contrasting the realities of trying to maintain contest shape overseas versus allowing more flexibility during the off-season. From there, the conversation shifts to training and genetics in bodybuilding. We explore clavicular width, waist size, and arm/lat/quad insertions, discussing how these genetic traits shape physique categories and what can realistically be influenced by training and posing. The hosts debate whether short biceps with long triceps or vice versa create a more favourable aesthetic, and weigh up the trade-offs between high lat and quad insertions. Finally, the team addresses exercise-induced headaches in training, with practical advice on identifying triggers, modifying exercise selection, and knowing when to seek professional help. This episode is packed with science-driven insights and practical strategies, perfect for anyone looking to refine their contest prep, optimise nutrition timing, or better understand how genetics and training interact in bodybuilding.

Poderão não aprender muito com esta leitura. Poderão chegar ao fim sem saber distinguir Nelson de Sérgio. Poderão ficar desiludidos com a arrogância juvenil dos irmãos Gallagher portugueses. Poderão ficar positivamente impressionados pela eloquência e desenvoltura com que responderam às questões de Daniel C. Oliveira, autor hoje conhecido como Daniel Oliveira.Mas de uma coisa poderão ter a certeza: se a ocasião se proporcionar ficarei mais perto do céu, poderei até ficar mais perto do mar, se o mercado imobiliário o permitir. Tudo farei para ser o ar que respiras. Querias oxigénio, eu sei. Mas vais ter de levar comigo no estado gasoso a insuflar os teus alvéolos pulmonares.Serei o sonho que vem da noite te abraçar, como um Freddy Krueger de corsários brancos e túnica. Porquê? Porque os teus olhos a mim são fatais. Quem mandou a tua luz me enfeitiçar? Temos de estar juntos antes que o tempo se acabe. Porque o fim está próximo. Sou um boneco de neve e tenho a certeza que vou derreter quando os teus lábios tocarem nos meus ou se a temperatura subir acima dos zero graus. Perdoa se peço de mais. Apenas quero voltar ao ponto de partida. Quando éramos um só. Quero voltar a ser parte de ti. Por isso, quando eu derreter, verte-me para dentro de um copo de água e bebe-me.

Can economics really be called a science if its predictions so often fail? Tune in for an inspiring discussion with Daniel Munson on his new book Fiscal Follies: A Little Fun with Economics (and Economists). Moments with Marianne airs in the Southern California area on KMET1490AM & 98.1 FM, an ABC Talk News Radio affiliate! Daniel C. Munson is a graduate of the University of Minnesota (with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering) and the William Mitchell College of Law, with a professional background in chemical engineering, law, and financial management. For over two decades, he has written for national financial publications including Barron's and Financial History, bringing a sharp, multidisciplinary perspective to complex economic issues. In his latest book, Fiscal Follies, Munson examines the intersection of economics, finance, and technology—arguing that unlike the hard sciences, economics is riddled with flawed assumptions and imprecise thinking. The book was hailed by Marketwise senior editor Garrett Baldwin as the “Financial Book of the Year,” praised for its clear, jargon-free insights and bold critique of mainstream economic thought. https://a.co/d/7BYwUg5 For more show information visit:www.MariannePestana.com

Send us a textDaniel C. Jones has always been drawn to pedal steel guitar. In the early 1970s, he fell in love with the country rock scene at the time. What stuck out to him, though, wasn't the Nashville country scene – it was the alternative country scene.Jones loved the sound of performers such as Jerry Garcia, his project New Riders of the Purple Sage, and Peter E. Kleinow (or “Sneaky Pete”). In 1971, Jones's brother took him to see a performance of Garcia's most well-known band, The Grateful Dead. Waylon Jennings opened that night, joined by Ralph Mooney, pedal steel guitar player for Jennings's group the Waylors.Jones says the instrument called to him because its sound instantly captivated him. Throughout the 1970s, he steadily performed on the road full-time, but by the 1980s, he prioritized his education. He earned a BA in Music from Sonoma State University in California, an MM in Musicology/Music Theory at the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder in 1984, and a Ph.D in Musicology at CU Boulder in 1991.Jones taught musicology at CU Boulder for over twenty years before retiring after the fall 2019 semester. Throughout that time, he performed pedal steel guitar on the side, both by himself and with the instrumental group Standard Deviations.Now, Jones focuses entirely on playing, particularly embracing standards from the Great American Songbook. His original compositions and arrangements are all instrumental, so for him, it's important to find pieces that lie well in the instrument's range.

In Her Image: Finding Heavenly Mother in Scripture, Scholarship, the Arts, & Everyday Life
In this episode, Jess reads "Nephi and His Asherah" by Daniel C. Peterson. Abstract Asherah was the chief goddess of the Canaanites. She was El's wife and the mother and wet nurse of the other gods. At least some Israelites worshipped her over a period from the conquest of Canaan in the second millennium before Christ to the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC (the time of Lehi's departure with his family). Asherah was associated with trees—sacred trees. The rabbinic authors of the Jewish Mishna (second–third century ad) explain the asherah as a tree that was worshipped. In 1 Nephi 11, Nephi considers the meaning of the tree of life as he sees it in vision. In answer, he receives a vision of “a virgin, . . . the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the flesh.” The answer to his question about the meaning of the tree lies in the virgin mother with her child. The virgin is the tree in some sense and Nephi accepted this as an answer to his question. As an Israelite living at the end of the seventh century and during the early sixth century before Christ, he recognized an answer to his question about a marvelous tree in the otherwise unexplained image of a virginal mother and her divine child—not that what he saw and how he interpreted those things were perfectly obvious. What he “read” from the symbolic vision was culturally colored. Nephi's vision reflects a meaning of the “sacred tree” that is unique to the ancient Near East. Asherah is also associated with biblical wisdom literature. Wisdom, a female, appears as the wife of God and represents life. Peterson, Daniel C. (2000) "Nephi and His Asherah," Journal of Book of Mormon Studies: Vol. 9: No. 2, Article 4.Available at: https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/jbms/vol9/iss2/4
