    053: Don't Change the Plan Yet

    In this episode of PROCAST BY JOSH, I talk about one of the most important parts of coaching: knowing when to make a change, and when to leave the plan alone. When progress slows, the instinct is often to immediately lower calories, add cardio, increase steps or change the training program. But more change doesn’t always mean better progress. I unpack how I look at these decisions as a coach, why context matters, and why the best plan is the one that actually suits the person in front of you. Sometimes the issue isn’t the target itself, but how well the plan fits around someone’s work, weekends, social life, preferences and habits. Key topics include:• When a plateau actually needs action• Why short term scale changes can be misleading• The importance of adherence before reducing calories• Using flexibility to improve consistency• Why training doesn’t need to change constantly• Challenging rigid ideas around food and “optimal” approaches• Making the smallest sensible adjustment when change is needed• The importance of asking better questions as a coach• Why good coaching is about adapting to the individual This episode is a reminder that progress isn’t about constantly doing more. Sometimes the smartest move is to understand the problem properly, make the right adjustment, or simply give the current plan more time to work.

    052: A Conversation with Vincent McIvor: More Than the Result

    In this episode of PROCAST BY JOSH, I sit down with former client and competitive ballroom dancer Vinnie to talk about the journey behind performance, physique, setbacks and success. We unpack what life as a competitive dancer actually looks like, the pressure to perform and present a certain physique, and how improving his nutrition helped Vinnie feel better, perform better and build more confidence on the dance floor. We also talk about the injury setbacks that have kept him away from competition, the importance of his partnership with Zoe, and why stepping away from dancing has only reinforced how much it means to him. Key topics include:• The similarities between bodybuilding and competitive dancing• Balancing physique goals with performance• Fuelling properly for training and competition• Body image and the pressure to look the part• The importance of the right competitive partner• Navigating injury, surgery and time away from your sport• Why the journey, people and experiences can matter more than the final result This was a great conversation about what it really means to pursue something you care about, especially when the path doesn’t go to plan.

    051: More to Lose Than You Think

    In this episode of PROCAST BY JOSH, I talk about why most people have more body fat to lose than they initially think, and why the number you have in your head often doesn’t match the physique you actually want. We look at bodyweight, body fat percentage, lean mass, why lighting can change how lean you think you are, and what bodybuilding has taught me about assessing a physique properly. Key topics include: • Why losing 5kg often isn’t the finish line • Body fat percentage vs actual fat mass • Why lean body mass changes how you look • Using the scale without becoming attached to a number • Why your desired look matters more than an arbitrary goal weight The goal isn’t to get as light as possible. It’s to understand what the numbers mean, use them as tools, and keep assessing your progress based on how you actually look, feel and perform.

    050: The Work Shows Up

    In this episode of PROCAST BY JOSH, I’m back with episode 50 and a solo reflection from the last few weeks. After judging in India, being involved in shows here in Australia, travelling to Darwin with clients competing, seeing client progress, and having a lot of coaching conversations, one lesson kept coming back to me. The work shows up. So does the lack of it. In this episode, I talk through what recent judging, competing, coaching and client progress reminded me about results. From the gratitude and persistence I saw in India, to Levi and Axel competing in Darwin, to client Josh losing nearly 25 kilos and Kim learning how to build consistency around family life, this episode is about the work people don’t always see. Key topics include• why the result is never random• why being close isn’t failing• how feedback helps you improve• why honest consistency matters• the ripple effect of personal goals• why boring work creates real change• why panic and punishment don’t usually create lasting results• what it means to stay with the process long enough for the work to show At the heart of this episode is a simple reminder. What you do today matters. What you repeat matters. How you respond after a setback matters. And if you stay with the process long enough, eventually, what you keep doing becomes hard to hide.

    049: A Conversation with Kai Karttunen, Born with SISU

    What happens when the things that shape you most aren’t the wins, but the moments that force you to find out what you’re really capable of? In this episode, I sit down with Kai Karttunen, a coach, personal trainer, competitor and founder of Sisu Training. Kai grew up in Finland before moving to Australia, eventually finding her way into fitness, personal training and bodybuilding. What started as simply wanting to change her body became something much bigger. We talk about her first competition, why she decided to come back and do it again, and the shift in mindset that ultimately led her to win at Nationals and earn her Pro Card. For Kai, the win was never really about the trophy. It became proof to herself that she was capable of much more than she thought. That idea connects closely to Sisu, a Finnish word with no perfect English translation. Kai describes it as the second engine you find when you think you’ve already run out of strength. And later in the episode, that meaning becomes incredibly real. Kai opens up about her relationship with Sammy, his unexpected stage four brain cancer diagnosis, losing him only two months after his first migraine, and what the months since have taught her about grief, the nervous system, love and continuing to live. This isn’t a conversation about simply “getting over” something difficult. It’s about learning to live alongside it, allowing life to change you, and finding somewhere new to put the love that remains. We also talk about coaching, body image, relationships, spirituality, letting go of rigid rules around nutrition and training, and why sometimes the path that makes the most sense on paper isn’t necessarily the path you need. One of the most open and powerful conversations I’ve had on PROCAST so far.

    048: Give Your Body a Reason to Change

    In this episode of PROCAST BY JOSH, I continue the training conversation by breaking down the role training actually plays in changing your physique. Training is where you create the stimulus. It is where you challenge the muscle, create tension, place stress on the body, and give your body a reason to adapt. But the adaptation happens afterwards, through recovery, nutrition, protein, sleep and consistency over time. In this episode, I talk about why training intensity and effort matter if you want to develop your physique, but also why the answer is not always just to train harder or do more. The right stimulus is different for different people. Some people need to train harder. Some people need more volume. Some people need less. Some need longer rest periods so they can perform better. Some need shorter rest periods in certain phases. And this is where coaching over time becomes powerful, because we develop a better understanding of how your body responds. Key topics include• why training creates the stimulus, not the adaptation• why effort and intensity matter for physique development• the difference between training hard and training recklessly• why soreness, sweat and calories burned are not the goal• how proximity to failure and RPE can help explain effort• why beginners often need more practice, volume and repetition• why advanced lifters can often make fewer hard sets count for more• why the right amount of volume depends on the individual• how recovery, nutrition and sleep support the training response• why coaching helps refine the process over time If your goal is to change your physique, you need to give your body a reason to change, support that process outside the gym, and repeat it long enough for the adaptation to happen.

    047: Training is a Skill

    In this episode of PROCAST BY JOSH, I talk about the way we think about training, and why it needs to be viewed as more than just calories burned. This episode was sparked by my recent conversation with Lawrence, where he spoke about the difference between training and simply exercising. That idea stood out to me, because training is not just something you do. Training is something you build. A lot of people judge a session by how sweaty they got, how tired they feel, or what their watch says they burned. But training is a skill. In this episode, I talk about why training should be viewed as something you learn, practise and improve over time. I also share my own experience of starting as a very light, unconfident beginner, and how even after years of training, injuries or time away can force you to rebuild and earn your way back. Key topics include• the difference between exercise and training• why calories burned is not the only measure of a good session• how training builds confidence, skill and self belief• why beginners are meant to feel like beginners• what to do when you feel anxious walking back into the gym• why strength can drop after time away• how to rebuild without letting ego take over• what it means to show up with intent At the heart of this episode is a simple reminder. Exercise asks, “how much did I burn?” Training asks, “what did I build?” Training is a skill, and the more you respect that, the better you get at it.

    046: Ownership Changes Everything

    In this episode of PROCAST BY JOSH, I share a solo episode to finish off the recent sequence around awareness, purpose, alignment and ownership. We have spoken about the story you tell yourself, why you actually want the goal, and why the goal itself is not the hard part. This episode brings it all together with one important question: What are you going to do when things are not perfect? Because life will get busy. Work will get stressful. Routines will get interrupted. Motivation will drop. You will miss sessions, have messy weekends, and go through seasons where progress feels harder than you expected. That is where ownership matters. In this episode, I share a piece of advice I received from my business coach years ago that has stayed with me ever since. He told me to write down every problem I was facing, then write down why each one was my fault and not someone else’s. It sounds harsh at first, but the lesson was not about blame. It was about finding the part I could take responsibility for, because that is where the power to change actually sits. Key topics include• why ownership is not the same as blame• how to take responsibility without beating yourself up• why reasons explain why something is harder, but ownership decides what happens next• the difference between acknowledging challenges and handing over responsibility• what ownership looks like during busy weeks, messy weekends and low motivation• why competitors need ownership after hard feedback, poor placings or post show struggles• how to stop waiting for perfect conditions before taking action• the simple exercise of writing down your problems and asking what part you can own• what it means to be PRO in your own world At the heart of this episode is a simple reminder. Reasons explain why something is harder. Ownership decides what happens next. You might not control everything that happens, but you do control how you respond from here.
