Season 3 Ep. 10 - Chicago Pro Recap & Behind the Scenes Coaching

The Chicago Pro is in the books, and this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes stories from one of the biggest weekends of the year. The guys break down Sam's incredible first overall victory, what actually goes into coaching an athlete through peak week, and why having the right team around you makes all the difference. They also discuss the reality of contest prep while working physically demanding jobs, why mental toughness separates great competitors, and the sacrifices most people never see. Later in the episode, the conversation shifts to Olympia season with updates on Nick Walker, Charles Griffin, the Brazil Pro, and several athletes making serious noise heading into the biggest show of the year. To wrap things up, the crew gives their spoiler-free thoughts on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey before diving into a hilarious drink tier list that sparks plenty of debate. 🔥 Sponsors & Discount Codes: • Use code: D2 at Iron Society Apparel • Use code: DEVO10 or NICK10 at Hosstile Supplements • Use code: D2 at Bashmouth • Use code: D2 at BioPep Peptides 🔥 Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of the D2 Podcast. #D2Podcast #Bodybuilding #Podcast #Fitness 🎥 Produced by Luke Guagliardo Productions LLC Timestamps: 00:00 Preview 01:00 Welcome + Sponsors 02:00 Chicago Pro Recap 02:45 Sam Wins His First Overall 05:30 Behind the Scenes of Peak Week 11:00 The Reality of Contest Prep 13:30 Chicago Pro Standout Performances 15:45 Olympia Qualification Discussion 25:45 Paula's Incredible Physique 31:00 Brazil Pro & Olympia Updates 38:30 Nick Walker & Charles Griffen 40:30 The Odyssey Review (Spoiler Free) 45:30 Troy vs. The Odyssey 48:00 Ranking Christopher Nolan Movies 58:00 Drink Tier List 1:12:30 Favorite Drinks 1:13:30 Fast Food Tier List 1:18:30 Final Thoughts 1:20:45 Outro Links: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6K6rUwahLC70rP7mYCXUEA Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dumbbells-doobies/id1687217913 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dumbbells.and.doobies/ Support the podcast: Hosstile Supplements: https://hosstile.com Iron Society Apparel: https://theironsocietyapparelco.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnmVA7NNtKQlKO-BGHRTqeosGO1bIaN1ozbpX-CUqPvYo9lnDSsFmX06AP6TM_aem_VJecFGluYYXosSjX8dTajQ Bashmouth website: https://bashmouth.com Use code: D2 at check out!
