We’re coming to you live from Bali with the full crew and a retreat room full of athletes. This episode blends behind-the-scenes insights, crowd questions, coaching truths, and a deep dive into the controversial use of semaglutide (Ozempic) in natural bodybuilding.
Scotty recaps his European travels, graduation surprise, and finally delivers the epic MC pump-up speech he wrote for MG. Then we hit key questions on recovery, reverse dieting, offseason strategy, and more — all with the raw energy of a live retreat session.
We cover:
✅ The Ozempic question — is it performance enhancing? Should it be banned?
✅ Semaglutide science — how it affects hunger, digestion, and fat-free mass
✅ Post-comp recovery done right — why fast weight regain may actually help
✅ Wayne’s 13kg rebound story — what went wrong, and how we fixed it
✅ When to run a tidy-up phase — signs, timing, and how to approach it
✅ Body set point & offseason weight targets — what’s optimal vs comfortable
✅ "Can I reset my metabolism?" — the truth about fast rebounds and calorie mismatches
✅ Coaching wisdom — training intensity, not age, determines growth potential
✅ Megatron mindset — why growth over 45 is absolutely possible
✅ Retreat highlights — who ate the most ice cream, who trains the hardest & standout bonding moments
🎧 A must-listen for athletes navigating the post-show phase, prepping for 2026, or curious about coaching best practices in and out of season.
