We open with an athlete watch, turning the spotlight on a couple of natural competitors who are making some serious noise heading into their upcoming shows. We discuss what's changed in their packages, what's got us excited, and why the standards being set are worth paying close attention to. From there we get into a conversation around natural federation integrity, specifically the three-year drug free period and why we think it falls well short of the gold standard. We discuss what polygraph testing actually adds to the process and what it would realistically take for a federation like NPC Natural to challenge WNBF's standing. To close things out we talk about the current gym equipment arms race happening across Queensland, covering everything from Prime, Megamass, MedX and Citadel, through to some Technogym slander.
