Coaches, today I am so pumped to be introducing you to the future Mr. Olympia, Alex Tilinca. In this episode, we talked all about the misconceptions about the sport of body building. Alex helps take a close look at regulations and lack thereof, why there might not be regulations in some areas, and how that doesn't necessarily affect the competition. Everyone is unique.

We also talked about nutrition specifics and how being in your off-season can affect you. (Spoiler: This is a topic I also dive into with Jonathan Munoz next Thursday!) Alex also talks to me about how we can use some of the practices from bodybuilding and translate them to our gen-pop clients.

You'll hear me talk to Alex about:
- How to manage recovery and how to avoid illness.
- Carbohydrates and how wrong some people get them.
- How to determine if your nutrition plan works.
