#18 Kaylin McKay - IFBB Pro
Kaylin is back once again and has been very generous with her time to share the continuation of her journey in PRO bodybuilding. We caught up on what has been a massive 5 months for her, competing in 2 more shows and earning her IFBB Pro card. In this one we go through what has led up to this point, how her pro card opportunity came about and the difference in her training as she moved into the Woman’s Fitness Category and how it really is the perfect category for her. Expect to hear about the change in mentality for the things she now regards as having to be disciplined to do, how listening to your body’s feedback can lead to longevity in anything you are doing and changes she has implemented to be the best she can be in the Art of Bodybuilding… Follow her journey on instagram: @kaylinmckay_ifbbpro For her lifestyle coaching follow: @kaylinmckaylifestyle For our podcast sponsor head over to www.oxygymclothing.com OXYGYM is the official sponsor for the podcast.

#8 Small Changes, Big Results
This week I took inspiration from my best mates' lifestyle changes and how they unintentionally fall into the systems mentioned in "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. This is my current read and something that Dave hasn't read yet but when discussing some progress he has made in his appearance through small diet and workout habits, I thought it was the perfect setup to grab a chat about it. Also, we finish off with a podium picks style list of our top 5 Arctic Monkeys songs. I hope you all enjoy it! www.patreon.com/beatsandbarbells

I finish off with a bit of real talk as I embark on a journey to utilize my time much better and how we have been using the Bullshit excuse "I don't have any time to do that" way too much. www.patreon.com/beatsandbarbells
