#37: How to Lose in Bodybuilding

In this episode, Brad Loomis, Jeff Alberts, and Andrea Valdez chat about how to lose a bodybuilding show. No, they are not telling you to suck or to be a bad athlete, but they are actually talking about how they handle losses in a sport built on subjectivity. The bulk of this conversation revolves around Andrea picking apart the most individually devastating losses in both of the lives of her more experienced colleagues. Because Jeff and Brad have had so many highs and lows throughout their decades as physique athletes, they are able to give us some unique insight on the anger, disappointment, depression, and hurt that can come from unrealistic expectations or self-inflicted ultimatums. The coaches also talk about the difference in competitive attitudes and approaches when going from an amateur to a pro athlete, and how they have learned to continue enjoying a sport that can often leave a bitter taste in your mouth if you feel robbed or cheated out of your would-be successes.
