#288: Bodybuilding With a Social Life

The happier you are, the better off your bodybuilding is going to be. Brian, Brad, Jeff, and Alberto discuss how to balance bodybuilding with the rest of your life, times they got the balance wrong, and how to avoid common pitfalls that can come from living a bodybuilding lifestyle. What can you do to get more comfortable eating in social settings? What are some cringe moments the coaches had when they put bodybuilding ahead of more important things in life? What is the law of diminishing returns when it comes to eating? How can you celebrate a special day or special event during prep while still staying on track with your goals? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
