Phil Heath is a renowned American bodybuilder. He gained widespread recognition in the world of professional bodybuilding, particularly for his impressive physique and numerous accolades. Heath's journey into bodybuilding began during his college years at the University of Denver, where he initially pursued basketball. However, he soon redirected his focus towards bodybuilding and started competing in NPC (National Physique Committee) competitions. In 2005, Heath won the NPC USA Championships, earning his IFBB (International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness) Pro Card, which allowed him to compete at the professional level. He quickly rose through the ranks, showcasing his remarkable genetics, dedication, and work ethic. Heath's competitive career reached its pinnacle when he won the prestigious Mr. Olympia title for the first time in 2011, succeeding bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler. Phil Heath went on to dominate the bodybuilding scene, securing a total of seven Mr. Olympia titles between 2011 and 2017. His reign solidified his status as one of the greatest bodybuilders of his generation. Known for his dense muscle mass, symmetrical proportions, and attention to detail, Heath's physique set a high standard in the sport. Universal Pictures Content Group (UPCG) will release Breaking Olympia: The Phil Heath Story, from director Brett Harvey, on VOD from March 26, 2024. The revelatory documentary unveils the extraordinary life story of the 7-time Mr. Olympia champion, as he rises through the ranks and battles both the top bodybuilders and the scrutiny of the media, in his attempt to cement his legacy and become the greatest Mr. Olympia champion to ever walk the earth.

As we peel back the curtain on the Arnold Sports Festival and reminisce about encounters with bodybuilding legends like Kai Greene, we're reminded that even the most iconic figures are just people beneath the spotlight. My guest, Joe Ciliberti, and I share a laugh over the humbling realization that these athletes, whom we once viewed with wide-eyed admiration, are individuals with their own challenges and triumphs. From candid discussions about the mental and physical toll of bodybuilding to the pursuit of a balanced lifestyle, we navigate the complexities of life post-competition and offer insights into the discipline required to maintain not only a physique but also a sense of well-being.Strap in for a ride through the byways of social media entrepreneurship, where the allure of likes and followers can overshadow the deeper connections that truly enrich our lives. Whether it's the constant battle against digital addiction or the surprising revelation that living with a pack of akitas might just be the antidote to a solitary life, Joe and I examine the ways our screen time shapes our reality. We ponder the unexpected places we find joy—from matching 'jam jams' with my dog, Kenji, to the satisfaction of being the sober designated driver—and the importance of carving out spaces for authentic living in a digitally saturated world.Finally, we address the elephant in the room: the financial illusion behind the glamorous facade of influencer culture. Pull up a chair as we tackle the hard truths about the viability of social media careers and the stark financial realities that come with the territory. With personal anecdotes and heartfelt reflections, we celebrate milestones, like a year of sobriety, and acknowledge the importance of thoughtful planning for the future, all while cherishing the community that has joined us on this journey. So, raise a glass (of water, ghost or reign of course) to personal growth, grounding relationships, and the shared aspiration for an authentic life well-lived.Support the showYouTubeInstagram Tik Tok

I was asked the other day why I, or anyone, would want to compete at a show where it's not an equal playing field.  Meaning, why would anyone who is a drug free athlete choose to compete in a federation where the athletes are not drug tested and are known to be enhanced.  In this episode I am going to share my experiences, reflections, and overall opinions of some of the popular drug tested AND non drug tested federations. I'm going to explain what makes them different from my own first hand experiences.  Both good and bad.  I cover the NPC/IFBB, the WBFF, the OCB, and the WNBF federations.  I'm also going to reveal where I plan to compete this year and why.  So grab those head phones and join me on your next cardio sesh or commute as I do another deep dive on all things federations.  Additional Resources: -Visit Shop.killitwithdrive.com and grab your “My Own Motivation” tank tops and sweat shirts -Download your Free eBook, “5 Tips Every Bodybuilder and Fitness Competitor Needs To Know Before Preparing For A Show” at www.eeinbb.com  Key Takeaways: Why I talk about every division and every federation (2:57) The blurred line of some of the divisions (3:58) Is it fair to compete as a drug free athlete in a non Drug tested show?

Welcome back to another episode of Everything else in bodybuilding.  I'm very excited about this episode because today I am going to give my experiences, reflections, and overall opinions of some of the popular drug tested AND non drug tested federations. I'm going to explain what makes them different from my own first hand experiences.  Both good and bad. No one wants to hear anything bad about their federation so this might not go over well with some people, but I come from a place of educating. I'm that person that tells you that you had mother-of-the-bride hair on stage and that it needs to GO before your next show because it's most likely why you stood on the side of the stage like a potted plant. The show is called everything else in bodybuilding. Bodybuilding, not competing in NPC, competing in OCB, competing in WBFF. Nor is it called everything else about competing in bikini fitness. Or Competing in physique or classic physique. It's called everything else in BODYBUILDING. This means I am talking about every division and every federation.  Most podcasts are about one topic. Or one division in the sport. And some are targeted to a specific federation. Just because you compete in one federation over another doesn't mean you worked any less hard to get to your show. Nor does it mean that if you didn't take drugs to have an advanced level physique like someone the same age as you in a non drug tested federation means you worked any less hard for the show. A lot of experiences and strategy is relevant no matter where you compete.  I know this because I have experience competing very successfully in 6 federations.   So here I am, about 22 weeks out from my next show. Yup, I've picked a show which means I've narrowed down all of my options and have a goal.  It doesn't matter which federation, because regardless, the particular division I am going to compete in requires me to get lean. Which is pretty much what we all do, right? Get lean?    Of course the level of ACCEPTABLE leanness depends on the federation you are competing in.  What I've noticed is that this line is getting blurred in the more muscular divisions of the non drug tested federations. The athletes in all of the divisions are getting bigger and bigger. Especially on the pro stage where these athletes don't stop training when they go pro, right? They keep training and building. Which means they are getting bigger. In fact, the stakes are so much higher even on the amateur level of non drug tested federations that, for example, I was just at NPC Nationals and the overall winner in the women's physique division of that show also won her pro card in Figure. She was the clear cut winner in the Physique division which calls for more rounded delts, more overall size, and more conditioning.  I remember when she walked out for her individual introduction before the group comparison round I turned to my husband and said, “lights out.” She was an absolute stand out. In the physique division. But to take that same person and for her win the Figure division shows that the gap between these divisions has closed significantly. You can argue that the scores are based on what's on stage, but let me tell you, the amount of quality physiques on that stage was incredible. Choosing someone with excellent symmetry, stage presence, and an appropriate level of muscle for the figure category would not have been difficult. And yes, on the amateur stage she outsized everyone, and on the pro stage she might not.  My point is, she won both divisions.  You wouldn't see a bikini competitor win Figure, would you? Nope, nowhere near as much muscle. The difference between Figure and Physique, yup you had someone win both.  As for the men, the level of size in the bodybuilding division was out of this world.  The overall winner of the men's bodybuilding was the super heavy weight class winner with quads that had muscle growing muscle. And then there are other guys we are seeing who are putting on so much muscle in a short period, like only TWO years or so, that they look barely recognizable from their original physique.  You do not see this level of size and conditioning in the natural federations. Especially for the women.   Size and conditioning are definitely clear differences between drug tested and non drug tested federations. But there is more than one non drug tested federation and more than on drug tested federation.  There are different nuances between them that I am going to talk about today. I'm also going to talk about why today I'm getting ready for a show in a particular federation where, in some people's opinions, the odds are stacked against me that I will do well. The other day I was having a conversation with a friend who asked me about my show prep plans. I explained that I plan to compete in 6 months in the NPC/IFBB federation.  She goes on to ask me … well, why? Why would I want to compete somewhere where it's not an equal playing field? What she meant by this for those who aren't picking this up, is that I am a drug free athlete and I am going to compete in a non drug tested federation, which means, I will be on stage with competitors who will have a competitive advantage over me with their physique with the substances they take to get them leaner, harder, and more muscular for the show.  I was stuck for a minute because I had never had someone put it to me like that. Like why bother when it's not fair play?  To me it was never about being unfair because I know going into the show that there are people using PEDs. To me it's unfair if I'm going into a show that is a drug tested show and you have an a-hole liar who wants to win a plastic trophy so much that they show up with an enhanced physique and lie through their teeth at the polygraph test that they are not using PEDs. What baffles me is that sometimes these people are caught too when there is a urine test that comes back with PEDs in their system. Like, what the hell people. To me that's unfair. Unfair is going into something with certain expectations and finding out it's all a line of Bull. Like that very first fitness modeling competition I told you about in the first episode.  So let me explain something… Just because someone does PEDs to enhance their physique doesn't mean they are going to beat me or beat you. Just because you are on PEDs doesn't mean you are unbeatable. The question becomes whether I am competing in a DIVISION where my un-enhanced physique COULD be competitive no matter if I am next to someone on PEDs or not.  And where I am today with 20 years of lifting weights under my belt plus years of athleticism behind me, I do think it's worth the try to see if I am competitive. So THAT's the real question you should ask before considering non drug tested shows if you are someone un-enhanced is whether your physique is competitive in the division you are going after. But there is a lot more to consider when it comes to choosing a drug tested versus a non drug tested federation that actually has nothing to do with the PED use.  I think a lot of people focus on the drugs and not what else the federation has to offer. So let me give you a run down on what it's like to compete in a few of the drug tested and non drug tested federations. Let's start with non drug tested and talk about NPC/IFBB. We already spoke about the level of muscle and conditioning being superior to other federations. But let's talk about the EXPERIENCE of competing in this federation. First off, the shows are generally well run. There is adequate help so despite the volume of competitors, the show doesn't take forever and a half. The judging is pretty quick too. Another noteworthy thing about this federation is their media presence. They dominate social media with their coverage of the athletes and the shows. Plus there are a lot of spectators at these shows taking pictures and videos and posting about it so there is often a lot of traction and excitement on the social media posts on show day. So if you win a big show, you will receive a huge amount of exposure from even just one post.  The biggest show of the year which is like the super bowl of bodybuilding is the Olympia contest where the best of the best pros compete for the ultimate title. The appeal of this contest is so big that you will often see celebrities in the audience at the show.   No other federation has this broad of a reach as the NPC/IFBB.  Onto another non drug tested federation. The WBFF. Some people have incorrectly said this federation is drug tested and I can tell you from experience competing in this federation that it is NOT drug tested. So don't go into this show thinking everyone is drug free.  People might think it's drug tested because the overall look of the competitors differs greatly than other federations, with the exception of the figure division, but this might be because the athletes in the figure division get very little media coverage so people don't really know much about it.  Go ahead and try to look the figure category up. In the early days of this federation you would see a lot more coverage. Back when Emily Stirling was winning.  Today the bikini and the fitness model categories dominate this federation. The goal of this federation is not to be like other bodybuilding shows. They actually removed the world bodybuilding completely from their name and replaced it with the word beauty.  In this federation you will not see the winner of the bikini division win the fitness model division, And you will not see a fitness model win the figure title. Same with the men….you won't see a guy win the male model category and win the male muscle model category.  They have clear lines between the categories to protect the integrity of the look. The key with this federation is they are looking for a model look, no matter which category. Same as with all federations, the level of muscle differs between these categories, but they also have one more main difference. They care about your appearance, your beauty, that is, for both men and women. It is in fact a beauty contest as much as it is a fitness contest.  Your facial aesthetics matter.  Another big difference with them is their media coverage. WBFF wants to own all coverage of their shows and with the exception of going live on some of the social media accounts, coverage of even their biggest show of the year is sometimes hard to find. Just this past World Championships, which is their super bowl of competitions, it took me days and some instagram stalking to find out who won the show. The biggest show! They do not allow spectators to film or take photos. ALL coverage is with their media group. They do promote their athletes on their social media pages but do not provide the level of coverage of the shows on social media that other federations do.  You will never see any audience shots of the show while it's going on or ever. The only way to see the show, the line ups of competitors next to each other,  is to buy the pay per view, and of course your stage shots if you are a competitor.   Everything about the show is grand. The lights, the stage, the pre-show, everything. They spend a lot on production and you will never compete at a college or a high school auditorium in this federation. In addition, you are not allowed to use any outside hair, tan, or makeup person. You are required to purchase packages from their approvef vendors. Their goal with this is to ensure the quality of the tan, makeup, hair, etc of all the athletes.   Oh and one more thing…don't show up to a competitor meeting in your flip flops and pajamas with your first coat of spray tan on. This is a modeling federation. You need to show up in your best clothes with hair and makeup on point. Both men and women. This is definitely a federation where you need to be put together both on and off the stage. The WBFF is a unique entity, really. Moving on to two drug tested federations let me start with the OCB.  The OCB drug tests with an initial polygraph test for all the competitors prior to show day. In addition they urine test the winners and will often do surprise urine tests of their athletes in the off season. So you could be sitting in the audience as a spectator at a show and get tapped on the shoulder to do a quick urine test to make sure that you are drug free. OCB doesn't just believe everyone is drug free. They take it a step further. Just this past year they banned all of their pro competitors from competing in any bodybuilding show that does NOT drug test. Like, bam, you're out. So even if you are lifetime drug free like me, if you want to try a federation that doesn't drug test, you literally can't if you want to compete as a pro in the OCB.   And probably the most notable about this federation is the choreography seen in some of the stage walks. I've been to shows where instead of a bikini competitor doing a stage walk for her introduction to the audience, she starts doing bodybuilding flexing and a mini strip tease with props. This federation is much more adventurous with their stage walks for sure.  One more thing about OCB is their social media presence. They do a great job promoting their shows and their athletes. They often do free live stream as well. The amount of people competing in this federation isn't as large as, say NPC, but they do a good job with their competition coverage.  Last federation I'll talk about is the WNBF federation, which is also a drug tested federation.  The WNBF provides the least amount of social media coverage, and no live streams, but the federation has been around so long and head up by power house and 4x Bodybuilding World Champion Nancy Andrews on the east coast and two bodybuilding pros on the west coast, that the word of mouth of this federation keeps it going. What stands out about a WNBF show is the quality of athletes that show up in all the divisions. The mens bodybuilding division is alive and well in this federation and the quality of drug free pro mens bodybuilders is top notch. In fact, did you know that Kai Greene, an IFBB Pro and Olympian, started in the WNBF? He won the world championships before moving onto the NPC/IFBB.  Unfortunately you won't get the social media coverage that you will get in the other federations and depending on which promoter is heading up a show, these shows can run forever and a half. I remember judging the world Championships, which is the super bowl of the WNBF, in Los Angeles and we were still judging at 3am. We didn't leave the venue until after 3:30am when all restaurants were closed.   As for drug testing itself, the WNBF also requires a polygraph test before a show. The will also drug test the winners as well. As of right now they don't have a rule that if you compete somewhere that is not drug tested that you cannot compete here.  Also noteworthy is that some of the high level pro competitors in this federation are so quality that they can easily compete as a drug free athlete in non drug tested federations and hold their own.  Which brings me back to the question that I was asked the other day about WHY I would compete as a drug free athlete in a federation that is not drug tested when it's not a fair playing field. The truth is, regardless of drugs, you just need time to build muscle. I've had conversations with people who want to know what they can do to improve for their next show and I tell them they need to take at least a year off. The look on their face when I tell them that 3 months of “building” isn't an off season is priceless.  Muscle doesn't grow that fast. Especially if you have been in a caloric deficit for a while you need to bring your body back out of the show and to a healthy level to build. Doing show after show will kill your progress. Some people just don't want to wait. I was talking with a bikini competitor aspiring to get her IFBB bikini pro card. She told me that she was not drug free and was taking an anabolic to help her grow. She also shared with me that she took a drug that affected her estrogen so she could get leaner. I asked her why and she said because she wanted to take her physique to that next level to win her pro card. I asked her if she had a before and after of her physique and she goes on to show me what she looked like before the anabolic and after. I said to her that the results weren't that dramatic and she could easily pass for an athlete that is drug free. In fact, you guys, I carry a lot more muscle than her so I'm telling you that her results were doable naturally.  As for getting lean with a drug to affect her estrogen, she could've been able to accomplish the level of conditioning required for the bikini division no problem without the drug. I wasn't a jerk or anything, I was genuinely curious. And she was cool about it. So what this goes to show you is that not everyone using anabolics or PEDs achieves a look that cannot be achieved without PEDs. When you start getting up into the super muscular divisions with striated glutes, maybe not, but definitely not the categories that require less muscle.  Or for men the open category where there is muscle growing muscle everywhere. The figure division and the classic physique divisions are borderline, meaning, you really need to have built a solid amount of muscle before thinking about getting an IFBB pro card if you want to do it without PEDs. Again, where are you with your physique? Do you have the level of muscle to be competitive in a non drug tested federation? If so, don't let the idea of others using PEDs squash your competition goals. Put the time in and give it a try! If you love competing and stand behind drug free federations for life, awesome. There are some really great choices.  My goal of this show was to share with you the various choices there are out there and some of the differences among them. I think having competed in all four of these federations along with two more that I didn't mention gave me a perspective on the sport I would never have had. And I love sharing all of it with you. In fact, I'll be continuing to share so much more about the sport while at the same time I will be sharing my experience dialing in for another show this year!  Despite having pro cards in three different federations, I once again have to start over on the local amateur stage to earn my way up the ranks to get a new pro card.  I am a drug free athlete competing in a non drug tested federation again and since my last show the level of muscularity and conditioning in this federation has become greater than ever.  But…It's me versus me.  My goal is to hold my own on stage and look like I belong there….and not get blown off the stage.  For my previous shows I had tank tops made with different anthems on them. This time around I have done the same thing, and for this show season, I have a new anthem called My Own Motivation. I just ordered shirts and sweatshirts for myself and my husband to wear during this journey to the competition stage. You can grab some too if you go to shop.killitwithdrive.com and check more about what I've got for you.  They make great gifts too. Guys, thanks so much for being a listener. I've got some really cool interviews coming up that I think you guys are going to go crazy over.  Don't forget to rate, subscribe, and share to tell these podcast platforms this show needs to reach more people.  Thanks again and I'll see you on the next one.

Can you guess who the guys are talking about? GOAT, Legend, Gifted, Suspect, and Dumpster Juice: Where does your favorite bodybuilder rank? Our very own group of five GOATed bodybuilders and Gifted Coaches took 21 of the most notorious bodybuilders of all time and ranked them. We came up with a lot of answers but questions remain: Dorian Yates or Ronnie Coleman: Who's the true GOAT? After two Mr. Olympia titles, is Big Ramy a legend? Will the impact that they've made on the bodybuilding industry bring Suleose, Mike Israetel and Steve Hall to legend status? Kai Greene: The most suspect man alive? Was Markus Ruehl the greatest chain smoking, mass monster bodybuilder of all time? If Jason Genova isn't the true GOAT, then who is? Did we miss any of your favorite bodybuilders?

Welcome back to the ee in bb show. I hope you are enjoying it. I appreciate you guys subscribing. I m seeing that and I'm seeing the reviews, I appreciate that as well. I do read them. they are something that does get me motivated. Go check them out. even if you hate it just let me know,  We are talking about all “other” things in fitness and bodybuilding and covering all divisions and federations. It's the whole theme of the show of course. And I just so happened to have head judged a pro/am show in    New York recently for the WNBF federation so I am going to share some of the key takeaways from the show from the head judge perspective, the kind of feedback competitors received post show, and some industry gossip as well.  Just a quick recap of some of the principles I've covered so far have to do with the credibility of coaches in episode 2 and then in episode 3  I did a deep dive into the different types of pro cards, what they mean, do you make money, and so on.  Anyone listening that is a competitor wants to win. If you say otherwise you are full of crap. The issue I see in the sport is learning the things you need to do to become a winner isn't easy. Picking credible prep coaches and posing coaches is a good start. Picking the right federation for you to work towards your pro card and being competitive as a pro is another good start.  But what about you and the things you can do yourself to make you more competitive?  Relying on outside influence to tell you what to do is only going to get you so far. You have to actually do some stuff on your own too.. So today I want to share my recent head judge experience and talk about the common theme I noticed with the feedback the competitors received after the show. Let me first explain that if you are listening and aren't familiar with how a bodybuilding show is scored, there is a panel of judges with score sheets that sit at a table below and center of the stage. The head judge has the microphone and sits in the very center. The head judge leads each of the classes of competitors through a series of required poses, dictates how long the poses are held, and will strategically move competitors around the stage to better compare the physiques.  Based on the criteria established for the category on stage, the head judge will move the competitors that best meet that criteria towards the center to assist the panel of judges with narrowing down to a top 5 ranking. Each panel judge scores separately and the judging sheets are passed over to someone who tallies up the scores to determine the winners. In the WNBF the highest and lowest scores are thrown out to remove any outliers.  So my role as a head judge requires me to have a fast, critical eye the minute every competitor walks out on stage.  I tell the competitors what poses to hit, dictate how long they hold them, and based on my judgment, I strategically move the competitors around the stage.   In the WNBF we start by scoring the symmetry of each athlete no matter what division. So from bikini to bodybuilding, we are scoring your symmetry, or overall balance, of your physique first.  So I will move the competitors with the best symmetry closer together in the middle of the stage for better viewing so the rest of the judging panel can score them.  I then move on to things more specific to the category like with bodybuilding we are looking for muscularity and conditioning and not so much your persona or character on stage. With bikini and men's physique we are also judging your body composition relative to the category, but your stage presence and overall presentation matters too.  So the second part of judging is meant for scoring these additional criteria. With bodybuilding it means you will be taken through a series of muscularity poses. On the opposite spectrum, with bikini, you have an additional walking component during prejudging that is used to evaluate your body composition and stage presentation.  Each division is different and looking for different things.  As you can see, although bodybuilding is a subjective sport, there is criteria in place that the judges use as a guide to find the best match on stage.  And I can speak from experience judging for a dramatically different federation, the WBFF, where they are looking for the most beautiful people in the world with unbelievable stage presence. There are scoring guidelines provided for each division there as well.  But knowing the specifics on what the judges are looking for is critical because if you show up to a WBFF show and shuffle along the stage bashfully you are going to get blown off the stage.  And if you are on a WNBF stage or even an NPC stage and you haven't figured out how to make your body look symmetrical you aren't going to be called towards the center of the stage.   NPC judges very fast by the way. I was at a Bev Francis show a couple months ago in New Jersey and I remember one class on stage was taken through the 4 mandatory poses ONE time and then walked off stage. 4 poses. DONE. Granted the amount of people in the class was small, and as a judge myself I could quickly rank the competitors, but the key point here is at these shows There is no “everyone gets a trophy” and “everyone works hard so give them their stage time” mentality. It's serious business.  There are too many classes and too many competitors at these shows to dilly dally.  You walk out, hit your poses with the group, and no matter if it's 2 minutes or 10 minutes, when the judges are done, they are done, and you walk off stage. So what this means is you as a competitor might spend months preparing for a show only to end up with less than 5 minutes to show off your hard work.  It's critical that you know what the federation is looking for, what the judges are scoring, and you spend just as much time nailing this part of your show prep as you do your nutrition and training if you want to be a stand out on stage. You might be thinking, Michele, that's great and all but what if I don't know how to get better when I thought I brought my best package to the stage?  Let me ask you this….how long did it take to learn how to get better at exercise and meal prep?  You didn't just walk into a gym and know how to deadlift, did you? You might have had some limitations with mobility or some imbalances with muscles that you needed to bring up before you even grabbed the barbell. You didn't just walk in one day and walk out with the same knowledge as Charles Poliquin, Charles Glass, Dr. Layne Norton, or even one of the smartest people I know in the fitness industry, Dr. Mike T. Nelson. You first learned your limitations and took the time to improve them.  You were patient with your lifting because you had no choice. You didn't start with a 600lb leg press because you physically couldn't push 600lbs. You met your body where it was at and with consistency and time you improved it.  And you know what…..truth bomb right here…..for most of you, you did this on your OWN.  Someone might've shown you the right form you need for the exercise, but then it was YOU that did the work to improve. Day in and day out. Week in and week out. With consistency. Just like with your training, your prep work for the stage component of the competition needs to be a little every day.  It doesn't need to be fancy pants stuff either.  Or take up hours of time. You don't need to go to classes.  You simply need a little structure like you have with your workouts. I was talking with Ian Mercer about posing at the staff dinner after the show I just judged. If you don't know Ian, he is the posing coach that taught Kai Greene how to pose.  And Kai, in my opinion, is the best poser in bodybuilding.  Fun fact, Kai Green competed in the WNBF before he competed in the NPC/IFBB.  He actually won the World Championships.  Anyways, Ian had Kai pose all. The. time. And Ian didn't just work with him on the specific poses required in the judging round. Ian worked with Kai on movement in and out of the poses as well. If you watch Kai Greene pose, you will never see him make an unflattering shape.  And it goes without saying that Kai makes moving a body with a ton of muscle look effortless.  That took a lot of effort to make things look effortless.  Which leads me to the judges feedback from the show.  The most common feedback from the show I head judged, from not just me, but the other judges, had to do with …posing and the odd shapes people were making on stage with their physiques.  It's such a common theme that stinks because it's avoidable. Some of the classes there were clear cut winners, but there were many classes where it was a close call. I was talking with the other judges after the show and we were all commenting on how a lot of the posing was really awkward and did absolutely no justice to people's physiques.  The poses themselves weren't exactly wrong, if you read the criteria, technically the poses were within the guidelines, but the way they were displaying the pose did no justice to their body.  I told quite a few people to start playing with the angles of their body and try to focus on creating more flattering shapes.  You don't need to go to a workshop to hear the same thing that I just told you as a judge. Everyone listening today, just like with your lifting, you can do this yourself a little every day.   Think of posing as creating SHAPES. I made the same mistakes early in my career. I remember trying so hard to pose that I squeezed everything for dear life in my back pose. I pinched my shoulder blades thinking flexing was going to help show more definition and I squeezed my glutes as tight as possible. You can probably visualize how awful this look was.  I had no idea until I got the stage pictures back how bad the poses looked.  That's when a light bulb went off and I changed my mindset to seeing posing as creating shapes and flattering angles.  And to chill the f out on stage. Eyeballs do not need to be popping out of your head when you pose. The more relaxed you are the better you will look. I don't think people realize that posing is meant to create a shape with your body.  The description of the pose you might read on the federation's website, gives you a guideline on how to stand and position your body, but it's up to you to make it look good on you. If the judges are looking for symmetry, you need to take that into account when you are hitting your poses. You might need to change your leg position, your hip position, or your shoulder position to create a better shape on you.  The guidelines are provided for you, but if you understand what the goal of the pose is, you can play with things like your leg, hip, and shoulder positions to see what creates a better shape with your body's structure.  And you know what?  You can do this on your own! Speaking to those right here who are listening and have done shows or preparing for one. What's the biggest thing you are struggling with? Comment on this podcast episode and tell me what you are currently doing to create the best shapes with your body in your posing …What are you doing about it? Workshops? Posing coach? Something else? Let me know in the comments. Meanwhile I am going to help you get things into orbit.  I'm going to give examples from three divisions on things you can do on your own to help you make better shapes with your body so you can become a stand out on stage. There is plenty you can do on your own to help you get on a faster path to success.   First example: men's physique. The judges are looking for a v-taper, tight waist, overall healthy athletic look, and great stage presence. A lot of times the guys have figured out how to make the v taper, but there are quite a few common issues with the rest of the pose. For example, the foot placement. Often the feet aren't even factored into the pose at all.  Even though your legs are not technically scored, you still want to create flattering shape for your overall presentation. Like, try to step your feet apart, play with angles, your foot position, spin your foot out, it will change the entire look of the pose. Stagger your feet to try and make your waist look smaller. Play with your posing as much as possible and watch how each adjustment you make changes the shape of your body. Next example…Women's figure and even men's bodybuilding too. Common issues are with the lats. The big wind up like a helicopter to open your lats in your front and back poses is not only not necessary, it incorrectly conditions your body to lead your poses with your hands. Your lats don't need your hands to open them. If you are sitting down while listening to this and your back is flat against a seat, your lats are pretty much open. When you reach for the steering wheel in the car, you don't do five arm circles beforehand….for your hands to make it up to the wheel. Nope, it's with ONE motion, you pick your hands up and grab the steering wheel. Posing should be no different. Open the lats and that's it. And, now, bikini.  The back pose is not a vagina pose. There is no need to bend over in this pose.  The judges and the audience are below you so this pose can quickly become distasteful.  Work on spine mobility to lift your torso up, shoot your hips back, and stick the pose. Plus, remember that the judges are looking for symmetry so you should concentrate on creating an hourglass shape in ALL of your poses. If you bend over, you flatten your glutes and narrow your upper body which then makes you look tiny up top and big on bottom….not the best look for symmetry. In your front pose, work on things to accentuate a smaller waistline. Ok I know I said three divisions but I”m on a roll and want to mention the new classic physique division because it's the fastest growing men's division. What makes classic physique so appealing is the aesthetics of the physiques. It's not just about the muscle, it's the presentation and the total package. The posing is an absolute art in this division. I watched the current reigning 3x Men's Physique Olympia champion, Chris Bumstead's, show day YouTube video and he took the time to have a professional apply makeup on his face to not only match his tan but add contouring and color to best accentuate his features. From the audience he looked healthy and put together. One of the competitors that was briefly compared to him on stage had the usual spray tan applied to his face and no blending or consideration for how his face looked. As he began to sweat the tan became blotchy which only made Chris look better.  Not to mention the posing presentations of all the top competitors in this division blew the doors off any performance that night. So much time went into their performances. They didn't just show up and hit a few poses to house music. Their presentations were a choreographed posing dance that was entertaining and clearly took a lot of time and effort to put together.  Everything counts when preparing for a show. What you need to focus on the most will depend on the division. Regardless, where your focus goes, energy flows. A small amount of effort daily will go a long way.  One last thing I want to cover today is the direction I'm seeing the divisions in all the federations going and how this affects your ability to stand out on stage.  Right now we are in a changing environment where physiques are getting more muscular and the standards for conditioning are getting higher.  If you watched the most recent IFBB Olympia contests and compare the physiques to the Olympians from around 2008-2012 there is a huge difference.  The muscle size and the leanness of the competitors is beyond anything we have seen before. There is an IFBB Figure Olympian, Erin Stern, who stopped competing as a figure athlete and completely transformed her body into a bikini competitor.  She changed her training, shaved off a lot of muscle, learned new posing skills, and with quite a bit of effort she not only became a bikini pro, but she won a major contest and got an invite to compete in the Olympia contest.  Understanding the look of your category is critical.  Erin knew she no longer had the size that was required to be competitive in figure competitions so she took a hard look at herself and made the switch to a division where she could be more competitive.  She didn't win her first pro show. Despite being a figure Olympia champion, it took quite a bit of time to make the transformation on not just her physique, but her stage presence.  In fact, I saw comments she made about having to make tweaks with her posing to become more competitive.   So as you can see even a former Olympian had to work to create better shapes with her body to best match the criteria of the new division she was competing in.  So if you are bodybuilding, your focus is on size, symmetry, and nailing your mandatory poses in your sleep. If you are a bikini competitor, you need to focus on symmetry, style, and learn how to walk confidently in high heels.  Wellness competitors you don't need symmetry but you need to pose to create flattering shapes and to nail your stage presentation.  Similar for men's physique, you don't need symmetry necessarily but you need to create your best v taper, best angles, and spend time on your overall presentation.  Figure girls, you are a combination of both. You need to nail your mandatories AND work on presentation.  Classic Physique, you need your physique on point, but you also need to know your best angles and shapes to make the posing more of an art.   Most people underestimate how much preparation beyond just nutrition and training is needed.  And that's the whole point of this episode.  I want you to spend more time on these other things.  Even a little movement or mobility work every day.  Play with angles, shapes.  I'd rather you do 5 minutes a day of movement outside of your comfort zone than to practice a few poses 1 or 2x a month and hope for the best on show day. Plan your week ahead of time and schedule blocks of time right in your phone that you will dedicate to presentation.  It's the consistency that will have a greater payoff.  And that's the point of this whole episode. Guys if you enjoyed this episode I would love it if you guys would go to iTunes or Spotify and leave a little review and rate it. That would be awesome. I'm going to keep dropping these strategies like this. There will be times I do one strategy over a few episodes or other times like this where I kinda go into a little bit more detail on one strategy.  Very excited for this.  Hey guys, next episode I am going to give you guys something, it's free, a special class I wrote something I spent  quite a bit of time writing and creating. So anyways the will be in the next episode I'll tell you where to go. And I'll see you on the next episode.

"It's gonna help you to burn fat and when you do eat it'll help you to build muscle - the Holy Grail of body composition" "Mindless eating...people eating just because they're bored...because they don't know what else to do" "You have to eat a ton of protein, whey shakes, and aim for at least 6 small meals a day. How many people would freak out if they had to fast for even as little as 20 hours per day?" Right... What's the deal with intermittent fasting? Why do some people deliberately choose to not eat anything during certain periods of the day? Are they insane in the head? That's what we'll be talking in today's Body Mind Empowerment Podcast.
