162: GLP-1 AGONISTS IN NATURAL BODYBUILDING - SHOULD THEY BE BANNED?

Welcome to episode 162 of the Bodybuilding Down Under podcast! This week, all four of us jumped on for a full-team catch-up before diving into a deep, nuanced discussion around one of the most talked-about topics in the fitness and bodybuilding space right now: GLP-1 agonists. We break down their rising use, how they work, and the potential implications in the natural bodybuilding scene. Are they performance-enhancing? Are they ethical? And should they be banned? Here’s what we cover: 🔹 Team updates – Where each of us is currently at with training and life. 🔹 What are GLP-1 agonists? – A brief rundown on their mechanism and original purpose. 🔹 Their role in physique sports – Are they being misused for fat loss in bodybuilding? 🔹 Should they be banned in natural federations? – The moral, practical, and competitive implications. 🔹 WADA's stance – Why they’re on the monitoring list and what that means for the future. 🔹 Our take – Where each of us lands on the issue, and whether their use aligns with the spirit of natural competition. If you’ve seen GLP-1s popping up in your feed and want an informed, grounded conversation on how they’re being used (and abused) in the sport, this episode is a must-listen.
