Send us Fan MailIn this solo episode, Sarah Parker breaks down the most common mistakes she sees both first-time and experienced competitive bodybuilders make throughout the entire prep journey - from choosing the right coach to navigating mindset, relationships, nutrition, posing, peak week and show day.Sarah shares practical lessons from her own competitive experience, including why you should always have a consultation and 'vibe check' before committing to a coach, why your posing coach can be just as important as your prep coach, and how to avoid becoming overly obsessive with food preparation.She also dives into the mental side of bodybuilding, including dealing with comparison, negative self-talk and the impact prep can have on relationships. You’ll hear why communicating with the people around you before prep starts can make a huge difference - and why changing “I have to” into “I get to” can completely shift your mindset.The episode also covers the realities of sugar-free products, food-related neuroticism, posing preparation, show-day logistics and the truth about peak week and post-show recovery. Sarah explains why peak week isn’t a magic transformation, why the work is done long before stepping on stage, and why recovery can take considerably longer than many competitors expect.Plus, Sarah shares how she managed a seven-hour drive and a sickness bug just 48 hours before winning the 2019 British Finals - a reminder that you can’t control everything on show day, but you can control your preparation.In this episode:How to choose the right prep coach and posing coachThe importance of doing your research before committingManaging mindset, comparison and negative self-talkProtecting relationships during prepAvoiding food-prep obsession and unnecessary restrictionThe potential pitfalls of excessive sugar-free productsWhy posing deserves serious attentionHow to organise your show-day logisticsWhat peak week can and can’t actually achieveWhy post-show recovery timelines vary so dramaticallyPreparing for the things you can control - and letting go of the things you can’tWhether you’re preparing for your first competition or you’ve already stepped on stage multiple times, this episode is packed with honest advice to help you approach bodybuilding prep with more perspective, preparation and confidence.Watch this episode here: https://youtu.be/1mlaow6ucTgFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here

Both explaining how they began podcasting to serve their clients and provide educational content, with Brandon starting in 2020 during the pandemic and Sarah launching "Beyond Condition" after feeling overwhelmed by existing fitness content. They share similar challenges including pre-recording anxiety and technical issues, with both choosing to record authentic content to maintain honesty and integrity. The conversation highlights their commitment to intellectual integrity and responsible content creation, with both emphasising how podcasting allows them to connect with audiences worldwide while maintaining genuine educational value.Public Speaking Anxiety DiscussionBrandon discusses his experience with public speaking anxiety, explaining that it stems from his desire to provide accurate information and deliver high-quality content rather than from imposter syndrome. He describes how he stays within his domain of expertise and carefully prepares for episodes, particularly research-based content, to ensure he doesn't disappoint guests or mislead his audience. Brandon notes that while the anxiety persists to some degree, he has learned that the benefits of sharing his knowledge outweigh the discomfort.Authenticity in Professional PresentationsSarah discusses the importance of vulnerability and authenticity in podcast presentations, particularly highlighting how male guests sharing emotional experiences helps normalise human vulnerability across genders. Brandon shares his experience about the value of genuine human connection at industry events, describing a meaningful dinner with colleagues Scott and Alan where they discussed their career journeys beyond their professional roles. The conversation focuses on the difference between authentic presentation and performative online personas, with both speakers emphasising the significance of being true to oneself in professional settings.Authenticity in Fitness CoachingBrandon shares his experience coaching a female client who lost her menstrual cycle during a competitive bikini preparation process. He explains how the client's coach at the time dismissed her concerns, leading to a delayed diagnosis and treatment approach. Brandon emphasises the importance of authenticity and integrity in podcasting, describing how he carefully selects guests who align with his principles and values, particularly after witnessing disingenuous behaviour from other practitioners in the space.Podcast Guest Selection StrategyBrandon discusses his approach to podcast guest selection, explaining how he initially built his platform for his clientele without seeking wide audience growth. He shares a specific example of meeting a business coach in person who had previously reached out to him, highlighting the importance of building genuine relationships before inviting guests onto his show. Brandon emphasises being selective about guests and maintaining the integrity of his platform, sharing that he had declined to publish two episodes due to concerns about the guests' content and approach. He also describes his preference for meeting potential guests in person at conferences before inviting them on his show, noting that this method has led to deeper connections and more authentic conversations.Podcasting Approach and Guest ConnectionsBrandon discusses his approach to podcasting, explaining that he views it as an opportunity to platform experts in specific areas rather than just sharing his own knowledge. He shares examples of meaningful podcast conversations he's had with guests like Alan Aragon and Scott Stevenson, describing how these interactions have evolved from purely intellectual exchanges to deep personal connections that have led to lasting friendships. Brandon emphasises that the key to successful podcasting is genuine interest in the guest and asking questions that stimulate meaningful discussion, noting how these conversations have helped him connect with like-minded individuals and grow as an entrepreneur.Podcasting Impact and Community ConnectionsBrandon and Sarah discuss the impact and reciprocal nature of their podcasting work, emphasising how it has empowered them and allowed them to serve their community while building meaningful connections with listeners. Brandon shares his personal journey from a corporate career to full-time coaching and podcasting, highlighting how the podcast has enhanced his ability to connect with clients and share personal experiences. The conversation concluded with Brandon asking Sarah about key lessons learned from her podcast guests.Staying in Your Podcast LaneSarah and Brandon discuss the importance of staying in their lane as podcast hosts and not overwhelming themselves by trying to match the expertise level of their guests. They emphasise the value of authentic collaboration, intellectual humility, and learning from failures in their podcasting journeys. Both highlight how podcasting has helped them grow personally and professionally while connecting with like-minded individuals in the industry. They share their gratitude for the opportunities podcasting has provided and encouraged listeners to follow their work on social media and their respective podcast platforms.Find Brandon on Instagram @brandondecruz_Find Chasing Clarity Podcast by Searching on All Major Podcast Platforms.Watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/FqjJBHfhuU8Find Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here

Send us Fan MailSarah welcomes Sibel Osman back to The Beyond Condition Podcast.For this special episode, here are some words from Sibel herself; Our beautiful sport is one that both myself and Matthew Ali grew up in and have always known it to be inclusive, in fact one of the most endearing aspects of our sport is the fact that it is so inclusive, be it age or disability. Upholding the values and the ethos of bodybuilding is something that both myself and Matt have worked very hard to pioneer wherever and whenever we can. It is all too easy to get lost in the ‘mainstream’ and follow trends and crowds of the ‘new generation’ and forget the cornerstones of what made this sport great and celebrate ALL athletes from all walks of life that endure every day to live and breathe it.We as able-bodied athletes often take for granted the privilege and blessings we have, being able to get up with ease and carry out our everyday tasks as an athlete and yet some still find something to complain about.Unless you are either directly affected, know or have a loved one that is disabled/disabled athlete, it is easy to overlook how easy able-bodied athletes have it. The real superheroes of our sport are our disabled brothers and sisters who get up every day in the face of great adversity, go to the gym and function, perform, prep, bulk and work like true soldiers to achieve what can only be described as remarkable, and create physiques that are frankly mind blowing. The fact that we have disability categories in our sport is incredible and I commend and thank EVERY federation that is inclusive enough to have a disability category.  This proves just how wonderful our sport is, however, we (myself and Matt) want to take this further and build on that. Creating a Disability Pro League, the first of its kind in the world, is something that we believe is a long time coming and nothing short of deserved. These incredible inspiring athletes are in a league of their own and deserve A LEAGUE of their own, a Super Pro league to celebrate their excellence and allow them a platform and an avenue to achieve their greatness and take their athletic prowess as far as they wish to go.We will work extremely hard to create opportunities and rewards for all of these incredible athletes and ensure that they know and feel that this sport belongs to them EQUALLY. If you get up everyday and live the life of a bodybuilder, you train to a targeted plan, eat a specific diet, have a prep coach, check in, go off season, prep, compete…..the list goes on….you ARE a bodybuilder and should have all the opportunities afforded to you that able bodied athletes have.Bodybuilding is built on values that promote and teach resilience, consistency and to Never Give Up! To build physiques that are way above the norm and visually represent the sheer heart and work that has gone into building a body that is a work of art. Nothing is more demonstrative of these core values than our disabled athletes who are a testament to the work ethic and the fire that champion mindsets and bodies are built from. To be able to work on building this sector of our sport is one of the projects that truly means a lot to us. We must all embrace change as progression in all things is important, provided that the change is progressive and for the greater good. I think we have all had our fill of recent negativity and poor communication within the sport and it is time that something new and good was introduced to give our athletes a new lease of life and love for our sport.We welcome all the support that you can afford us and the incredible athletes as we build this sector in the coming year.Thank you for listening.Find Sibel and the federations mentioned on Instagram: @sopro1000 @acpukofficial @ibfa_ukWatch the episode here: https://youtu.be/nF-wGAPJhugFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here

Considerations include the length and duration of your prep, the influences of natural and assisted methods, and the number of competitions you participate in during a season.Post-Show Experiences Vary for EveryoneThere’s a lot to consider regarding how you might feel both mentally and physically after a show and season.Whether you’re a first-timer or a experienced competitor, it’s uncommon for any post-show experience to be identical. Reactions to food after the event can range from feeling overwhelmed and facing decision fatigue to instances of overeating and binge-eating.The Importance of Structure and Routine After a Show or SeasonHaving a structured plan can be beneficial after a show or season. Establishing a reverse out strategy is wise, whether it's a simple outline or detailed daily planning.Effective Communication: It's essential to communicate clearly with those around you. The approach you take will vary based on your relationships. Honesty Matters: Being open about your feelings is crucial, even though it may not always be easy.The Importance of Boundaries After a Show or SeasonEstablishing boundaries after a show or season is crucial. It's common for our loved ones to express their care through gestures, which may include food and treats.The period following preparation is often a time when we can indulge in these treats. To make the most of this opportunity, consider structuring your enjoyment around foods that you love.I hope you enjoy and learn by listening to this episode.S xWatch the episode here: https://youtu.be/0UIMN9RItsEFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here
