The first was at Layne Norton's VIP Camp, where my talk was on the Lessons Learned during my journey as a natural bodybuilder. It included a discussion of why failure is crucial to progressing (both in life and in bodybuilding). It also focused heavily on 4 things I think Champions DO during the journey, and 2 that they DON'T. It got a lot of good feedback from the attendees...thanks Layne for having me out! I love this camp because it features people in academia doing actual work relevant to bodybuilders...and oh yeah I got to hang out with World Champion powerlifters as well.
The second was John Gorman and Cliff Wilson's Physique Summit. My talk there was on "Physiological Changes During Natural Bodybuilding Contest Preparation" and walked through the things I look for as I diet down into contest shape. It was an awesome environment, with over 150 attendees learning from some of the best in the business. Thanks guys for an amazing event!
