    Macro Exchanges, Fit Model Revisited

    Well, that fit model thing sure caused a bit of a stir.  In today’s episode I clean up some of the carnage from negative comments I got from my take.  I welcome all opinions, but I will also clap back if I think some are misguided.  It’s in my nature, sorry.  Blame my parents! Next we take a listener voicemail (thanks Jackie!) about making macro exchanges and, though not explicitly asked, also about setting proper targets. And finally we wrap up with a cautionary tale on why I ended up being on injured reserve for the better part of two weeks.  Did I save a bus full of nuns and hurt myself in the process?  Yeah, probably nothing so heroic.

    Why Fit Model Is The Wrong Move

    The NPC/IFBB just announced this week a new “Fit Model” category which will be slotted ‘under’ bikini in terms of both muscularity and conditioning requirements, making this the new ‘entry level’ division for women.  This is the SEVENTH category for women, and with the stated goal of the organizations being to draw more casual eyes to the sport, they are losing sight of the fact that the existing categories aren’t the issue – it’s that you HAVE to be an insider to understand what happens on show day. I go into much more detail in this episode while also disobeying the golden rule of social media:  DON’T READ THE COMMENTS.  I read them, and now we’re commenting on them.

    Understanding Genetic Potential

    In episode 277, I make a TRIUMPHANT RETURN to solo episodes…for now (my interview schedule is clear – insert sad face here).  I’ve also been wanting to talk for a bit about genetic potential as it relates to bodybuilding so it seemed like a good time while there’s a lull between interview guests! LIMITED coaching spots remain available and I will stop taking new clients soon.  Interested in joining the team?  Check the site below.

    IFBB Pro Lori Conley

    Lori Conley had been on my “get” list for awhile but due to scheduling and other things it wasn’t until now we were able to finally sit down and chat – and, well..it was worth the wait in my opinion. I asked Lori about her competitive history, journey to becoming an IFBB Pro, her experience at the Master’s Olympia, future plans, and also her training and dieting details in working with her coach and how that’s going. Follow Lori on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lori_conley_ifbbpro Lori also has an OnlyFans page you can check out as well:  https://onlyfans.com/loriaconley Online coaching with Darin and a whole lot more (site updated recently!): Five Starr Physique – Contest Prep and Lifestyle Coaching Check out my online course collection, available now! https://www.darinstarr.com/ Check me out on YouTube and subscribe to see what’s coming up next: https://www.youtube.com/@darin_starr Check me out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedropsetpodcast

    IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Julia Whitesel

    I won’t lie – interviewing Julia Whitesel was on my list after watching her in the Rising Phoenix earlier this year, and after the Olympia I knew we had to chat – just from watching her on social media I knew she had interesting stuff to say, and she’s super transparent and self-depricating so I knew we’d hit it off. In this chat we talk a LOT about her 2023 and 2024 seasons, dig into a little technical stuff, and then have a spirited discussion about the wave of ‘gotcha journalism’ in the industry which frankly pisses us both off.  Ranting happened, feeling were shared, a catharsis was reached.  Maybe?

    IFBB Wellness Pro Teresa Myers

    IFBB Wellness Pro Teresa Myers has been at this bodybuilding thing for a bit – starting in 2013 in women’s physique, eventually turning pro in 2018 and competing as a WPD pro for 3 years before taking a short break and coming back in 2023 in wellness.  She was gracious enough to sit down with me for a chat about her competitive experience, bodybuilding in general, and where she sees herself going.

    Amateur vs. Professional Bodybuilding

    I’ve been watching a ton of IFBB Pro bodybuilding shows lately and recording my commentary to post as videos on my YouTube and Patreon channels (links below if you’re interested), and in doing so have noticed some pretty stark contrasts in how pro shows are run and operated vs. the amateur shows that I’m much more familiar with. Some of the differences are pretty obvious and some are much more behind the scenes, but I thought it would be fun to sit down and spell out the differences here.
