#19 - Stu Mac PT - Mental Health in Bodybuilding - WBFF Pro

Stu Mac is a Scottish Mens Muscle Model, 2 x European WBFF Pro Champ, PT, Online Coach and documentary star.

Stu stops to give us a through-the-peephole experience of what life is truly like as a physique/bodybuilding/muscle model competitor. He outlays a personal account of the low lights and the highlights of the sport.

He speaks candidly about the superficiality of being a male fitness competitor and the effects it can have on mental health. He opens up about his depression which he denotes to episodes of his competitive career and his notable presence on social media – he amasses 111,000 gazing Instagram followers.

He speaks about his reshape in values which led to him becoming closer to fulfilment. Lockdown has allowed him to lose sight of both superficiality and online metrics to define his happiness. Now he solely achieves happiness from helping others.

He even unloads the story of when Will Smith gave him a fist bump..

Thanks Stu for coming on!
