Valerie Lusvardi is back on the show, and since her last appearance over a year ago, she's become not only a good friend but someone I've worked with in a professional capacity. We even teamed up to help a girl prep for a bodybuilding show. Val is one of the sharpest minds in the game when it comes to training and programming, and she's just as dialed in with nutrition. Not to mention—she's an IFBB pro, a coach, a wife, and a mom to three boys. In this episode, we covered a lot of ground: Val's journey through 17 bodybuilding shows and the lessons she's taken away from competing. The real power of maintenance calories for women—how to optimize maintenance to build muscle without forcing a huge surplus. How long you can (and should) keep certain lifts in your program before switching things up. The balancing act of being a coach, competitor, wife, and mom—and how Val shows up strong in every role.
