Season 3 Ep. 6 - NPC Junior Nationals Breakdown… & Why Basic Nutrition Still Wins

from Dumbbells & Doobies · host Zach Devalkenaere

This week on the D2 Podcast, we're recording a Zoom edition while breaking down one of the biggest weekends in bodybuilding. Lance shares his experience speaking at a nutrition seminar and why the biggest lesson wasn't advanced science—it was realizing just how many people still don't understand the basics of nutrition. From carbs and crash diets to supplements that actually matter, we discuss what everyday people need to hear. Then we dive deep into NPC Junior Nationals, reviewing the standout Classic Physique and Men's Physique competitors, who earned pro cards, and which athletes impressed us the most. We also react to the latest Olympia updates, discuss why Samson Dauda continues to look unbelievable, where Derek Lunsford stands heading into Olympia, and why Jordan Hutchinson has one of the biggest opportunities of his career this weekend. We finish things off talking UFC, old Anderson Silva fights, cardio hacks, and why reliving classic fights has become our favorite way to make cardio fly by. Topics include: • Lance's nutrition seminar experience • The biggest nutrition mistakes beginners make • NPC Junior Nationals recap • Classic Physique & Men's Physique winners • Olympia physique updates • Samson Dauda vs Derek Lunsford • Jordan Hutchinson's next show • UFC cardio recommendations • Anderson Silva appreciation Like, subscribe, and let us know which athlete impressed you the most this weekend! 🔥 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 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!

I'm using 15-pound dumbbells, taking multiple classes in a day, and chasing those 20-pounders that keep haunting me from across the weight rack.I'm Famous Ashley Grant, and More Movement Please is my fitness podcast — a digital diary from a woman over 40 who got tired of wishing she was stronger and finally did something about it.
