We cover where some athletes go wrong with training and nutrition, genetics, and mindset. We also further explore some concepts from episode 42, regarding what natural athletes can learn from enhanced athletes and vice versa.As a forewarning, we experienced some technical difficulties and the audio is less than desirable during certain parts, but there are an array of nuggets within this episode that you don't want to miss!Timestamps01:35 What can natural athletes learn from enhanced athletes?06:40 The evolution of a nihilistic culture in natural bodybuilding12:30 Where both sides of the sport are going wrong with nutrition13:45 What can enhanced athletes learn from the training strategies of natural athletes?19:20 Some thoughts on genetics30:50 Genetic ceiling: what exactly is it?
