The Work Podcast Episode 26 - Peak Week

This week’s episode is short and sweet because it’s peak week and the show is right around the corner. Greg’s feeling all the prep fatigue - hungry, irritable, and sore - but also the leanest and best he’s ever looked. We talk about how to bounce back after slip-ups, why you don’t “slash all four tires” when you get a flat, and how consistency pays off.We share some behind-the-scenes details about the inaugural show: we hit our goal of 30 competitors, stacked pro-qualifying classes, and even a live stream for those who can’t attend in person. It’s been stressful, sleep-deprived, and expensive, but we’re making this first year unforgettable so it can only grow from here.On a personal note, I talk about my sleep struggles, using a chili pad to stay cool at night, and even building a chicken yard in the rain while sore and exhausted. We also go over Greg’s peak week plan - cardio taper, show-day nutrition with fatty coffees, bacon, eggs, and timed bricks, plus electrolytes and creatine.Finally, we look ahead to the offseason build. Stage photos will be huge for tracking progress and weak points, and the tribe calls are going to shift into structured reverse dieting and growth. No matter the results this weekend, I’m proud of Greg for pushing through, helping run the show, and setting the stage for an incredible building year ahead.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ
