Smart Hypertrophy: Optimize Growth Without Burnout
Kick off the year by fixing the biggest mistake of Q1: overtraining. Learn to use the latest 2025/2026 biomechanics research, lengthened partials, and the stimulus-to-fatigue ratio to train harder by training smarter.
Optimal Diet Strategies for Gaining Mass
Most athletes ruin their off-season by either gaining too much fat ("dirty bulk") or fearing calories. We cover the exact protocols for maximizing lean tissue accretion, the surplus sweet spot, and nutrient timing.
Contest Prep: Managing Fatigue & Muscle Retention
Dieting for the stage is physiological extreme sports. Learn how to peel off body fat while holding onto every ounce of muscle. Topics: Diet Breaks, Refeeds, and managing psychosocial stress.
Advanced Hypertrophy Programming: Specialization Cycles
Bodybuilding is about illusion and proportion. When general programming stops working, you need specific protocols. Learn to prioritize side delts, lats, and quad sweeps to create a wider visual frame.
Peak Week Declassified: Water, Sodium & Carbs
You can't build muscle in a week, but you can ruin a physique in an hour. We debunk the old-school myths of drying out and provide a science-based approach to peaking, sodium loading, and pumping up.
The Recovery Diet: Solving the Post-Competition Rebound
The most dangerous time for a bodybuilder is the month after the show. We distinguish between a traditional "Reverse Diet" and the clinically appropriate "Recovery Diet" to restore hormonal function quickly.
Female Physiology in Physique Sports
Women are not small men. We dive into the physiological considerations for female Bikini, Wellness, and Figure athletes. Cycle-based training, peak week differences, and monitoring health markers.
Posing & Presentation: The Art of Displaying Muscle
A great physique hidden by bad posing places last. Posing is a skill that must be coached. Learn to analyze mandatory poses, hide weaknesses through angles, and build posing stamina.
Evidence-Based Supplementation for Bodybuilders
Cut through the marketing hype. We analyze which supplements actually have Tier 1 evidence for hypertrophy and recovery in 2026. Creatine, Caffeine, Intra-Workout carbs, and health support.
The Coach’s Eye: Long-Term Athlete Development
Bodybuilding is a marathon. Learn to plan an athlete's career over 3-5 years. Topics: Macrocycles, knowing when to move up divisions (e.g., Bikini to Wellness), and building your coaching authority.
