Injured in Prep? Here's What You Actually Need to Do! Episode 11 Season 2

Dropping a sweet chilli bottle on your foot is one way to get out of Bulgarians. Not recommended. (We're talking to you Rachel) But it does make for a very relevant episode.This week on The Macro Lounge, Chris and Rachel get into what actually happens when injuries and illness hit during prep - and more importantly, why pushing through is almost always the wrong call.They break down the physiology of why prep makes you more susceptible to both, when to modify vs when to fully stop, the rule for training through illness, and why 3 days of rest is nowhere near the crisis your prep brain is telling you it is.They also give a big shout-out to Ed at Ascend Sports Rehab and Performance (you can find him here: @ascendsportsnz) - because having the right physio in your corner isn't a luxury, it's prep strategy.Plus: the Sharns segment, the APA Poser of the Year award announcement, ICN regional show sponsorship news, and Rachel's new crossover bikini range drop. Phew - its a corker! If you've ever trained through something you absolutely shouldn't have, this one's for you.Like and subscribe on Spotify and YouTube - it helps more than you'd think.Find us here:🎧 Follow The Macro Lounge on Spotify📸 Instagram: @macro_lounge_podcast▶ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TheMacroLoungePodcast⁠📩 Email: ⁠[email protected]⁠Work with us:👙 Posing School: Accentuate Posing Academy ⁠https://www.instagram.com/accentuate_posing_academy/⁠💪 Coaching with Chris: Team Bold Physique ⁠https://www.instagram.com/teamboldphysique/⁠✨ Competition Bikinis with Rachel: Accentuate Bikinis ⁠https://www.instagram.com/accentuatebikinis/
