“You have to train differently as a pro because it's a given. But you have to do what your body needs for balanced symmetry." —Christina Specos
Bodybuilding is a tough path. You can't just be fit, you have to be fitter—and that means raising the bar for yourself. You want to be in shape so you can perform your best on the field and make sure that what you're doing is right for your body.
This week, IFBB Pro and Strength & High-Performance Coach Christina Specos joins the show to help us understand what raising our personal standards with regard to fitness really means. Sherrie and Christina also talk about the worst thing we could possibly do in our health journey, when we should change coach, why mindset means everything in achieving our goals, how to build mental resilience, and Christina’s reminder to anyone who wishes to join a bodybuilding competition. Tune in!
