The Work Podcast Episode 20 - Bottlenecks and Booze 41:43

il y a environ 4 jours41:43

41:43

This week, Greg’s back from We Fest—the massive country music festival up in Minnesota—and we talk about how his approach to the event has evolved over the years. Back in the day, it was all about camping, drinking, chain smoking, and eating whatever junk food was within reach. The whole weekend was a blur of hangovers, naps, and missed memories. Now? Totally different story. Greg ditched the tent for a hotel room, skipped the booze, meal-prepped like a pro, and even hauled frozen taco beef across state lines just to stay on track. We break down how he managed to keep training, eat clean, and still enjoy the music and the crowd—proving that you don’t have to wreck your goals to have a good time. We also hit on a bigger life lesson: you’ll never “feel” ready to make a change—you have to decide to be ready. Whether it’s committing to better health, sticking to prep, or just making smarter choices at events, it’s about owning that decision and following through, no matter what’s going on around you.

The Work Podcast Episode 19 - Do Hard Things 41:11

il y a environ 11 jours41:11

41:11

In this episode, we dive into the nitty-gritty of how we’re training, eating, and staying locked in mentally. I’ve been experimenting with alternate-day fasting while still in a building phase — packing in 5,000 to 6,000 calories on my eating days, then fasting the next. It’s been working well. I feel tighter, leaner, and surprisingly strong even when training fasted. We talk through how that’s playing out, how I structure it, and why it’s more sustainable for me than being in a constant deficit. Greg’s working through a bit of a shoulder impingement, so we’re adjusting our training to focus more on controlled tempo, full range of motion, and time under tension. We’re still doing full-body workouts for now, but after his prep wraps up, we’re probably shifting back to that eight-day push/pull/legs split we loved before. But this episode goes way deeper than just macros and gym talk. We get real about why we choose to stay natural, why we focus on quality food, and how that compares to the direction a lot of the fitness world is heading. We use traditional bow hunting as a metaphor for what we do — it's not flashy, but it’s real, raw, and rooted in craft. We also open up about some heavier stuff: addiction, hormone manipulation, integrity, and even what it’s like to sit with someone in their final moments. It’s a reminder that life is short, but the work — the real work — is worth it. If we want peace, if we want fulfillment, we’ve got to earn it. We wrap things up with some exciting updates: the Brick by Brick launch is live (get in before the Sunday deadline!), and the Natural State Savages show is right around the corner. We’re going all-in — custom swag bags, serious trophies, good food, and a stacked lineup of competitors and spectators. If you’re not competing, show up anyway — the energy’s going to be unreal.

We talk about show-day nutrition, shaky legs under those stage lights, and how critical posing practice really is.You’ll hear what it’s like to go from anxious first-timer to seasoned competitor, and why floating down a river with 15 other athletes the next day might just be the perfect post-show tradition. Plus, we talk about off-season lessons, pushing calories too far, and keeping that hunger for improvement without blowing up in the bulk.We also give an update on the September show, our posing course, and the return of Primal Fudge (finally back in stock, y’all!). Whether you’re thinking about competing or just want a peek behind the curtain, this one’s got it all—mustaches, mullets, and some solid mindset gems.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ…
