Episode notes
How A Bathroom Comment Sparked A Career
- Oscar started training after a friend encouraged him and an accusation in a bathroom led him to try competing in a natural show.
- He won his pro card in 2018 and cried on stage because it validated his claim of being natural.
Two-Week Grind Before Worlds
- With two weeks to world 2024 Oscar did extreme dieting and three hours of cardio daily to drop 11 pounds in two weeks.
- He still placed second and used that near-win to fuel long-term motivation.
