In this episode I chat with Alex Leonidas who shares his journey to the natural bodybuilding stage and why he decided to compete after years of training.
We discuss his experiences from his first show, the lessons learned, and the changes he plans to make for the future. He also talks about his unique 'bear mode' bulking strategy, offering insights into the origins of this approach and his current perspective on effective bulking and weight management.
Tune in for valuable tips on competition prep, training adjustments, and more!
