In this Father’s Day special of The General Muscle Podcast, Lawrence sits down with professional natural bodybuilders Nathan Wallace and Damon Forrest to explore the balance between fatherhood and the bodybuilding lifestyle. The conversation dives into what training and nutrition looked like before starting a family and how their training frequency and structure have adapted, along with practical tips for getting sessions in while raising young children. They also discuss changes in their nutritional strategies, how they approach food choices around their kids, and the challenges of managing sleep and recovery when family comes first. Finally, the episode touches on a deeper question: has becoming a father changed their “why” for bodybuilding?

205: Jade Moxey - Built In The Off-Season

In this episode of The General Muscle Podcast, Lawrence is joined by Joey Cantlin as they explore why every athlete needs to find what truly works for them—beyond what’s written in research papers or echoed online. They break down what science can and can’t tell us when it comes to real-world application across key areas like exercise execution, warm-ups, nutrition, recovery, and contest prep. Drawing on both evidence and experience, Lawrence and Joey explain how to interpret research without losing sight of individuality, how to balance data with intuition, and why the best results often come from understanding—not just following—the science.
