Summary
Welcome to Episode 218 of the Bodybuilding Down Under Podcast! This week, the boys enter the worst trends in bodybuilding and fitness into a knockout tournament to determine which deserves to be crowned the most diabolical of them all. Recovery gadgets face off against “shocking the muscle,” peptides take on staying shredded year-round, and going enhanced at a young age competes against spot reduction. We also put detox diets, waist trainers, overcomplicated exercises, unqualified health wizards and the good-versus-bad food mindset on trial. Some matchups are straightforward. Others expose a surprising amount of nuance. Quarter-finals, semi-finals and grand final coming next week. Enjoy!
