## Resource

Welcome to Episode 213 of the Bodybuilding Down Under Podcast! This week we are joined by one of Australia's most respected natural bodybuilders and posing artists, Pete Hartwig. A two-time Natural Olympia champion who earned his classic physique IFBB pro card at the Australian Arnold Classic, Pete sits down for a wide ranging chat on a career spanning almost two decades and more than 40 shows. We trace his journey from an unlikely four week first prep to the top of the natural ranks, the burnout that nearly ended it, and the mindset shift that brought him back. From there we get into his real obsession, posing as an art form, and the philosophy, influences and signature moments that made him one of the most captivating performers the sport has seen. Enjoy!
