    We also dive into:
    • Why weight loss can sometimes trigger new insecurities
    • The mental and emotional work most people don’t expect
    • What comes after the goal weight, and how to prepare

  • Episode 223: Ep 223 - The Psychology Behind Cheat Meals
    Jun 23 2025

    This week’s episode of Muscles by Brussels Radio is a good one—and a real peek behind the curtain of what actually happens when we’re coaching clients through body comp goals.

    We’re digging into:

    • Why some clients need free meals—and others need to be told to chill with them

    • What to do if tracking everything you eat is starting to make you miserable

    • How we use meal plans strategically (even though we usually don’t love them)

    • And why the “perfect program” is overrated if you’re not mentally in the game

    Whether you’re a coach or someone chasing your own goals, this one’s a reminder that success is never just about the numbers.

  • Episode 222: Ep 222 - Fix Your Burnout
    Jun 16 2025

    What does a cross-country vegan strong-person party bus have to do with burnout? Absolutely nothing. But it did come up in this week’s episode, and honestly, we kind of love the idea. Once we got back on track, Sawyer and Giacomo dug into the messy, exhausting, and all-too-familiar topic of burnout—what it looks like, how to recognize it, and what to do when you realize you're running on fumes.

    Sawyer shares his own experience from his lawyer days (spoiler: it wasn’t pretty), and Giacomo offers insight on how burnout shows up in coaching clients—especially the ones who think admitting they're overwhelmed is a weakness. This one’s part personal story, part strategy session, and totally relatable.

    If you’re caught in the loop of "just get through this week" on repeat... you need this one.

  • Episode 221: Ep 221 - The Reality of Bodybuilding Off Season
    Jun 8 2025

    Let’s talk about what happens after the glitter and tan fade. You know—that time between shows when the real work begins. Whether you call it an improvement season, build phase, or just “eating more and lifting heavy,” it’s where champions are made.

    In this week’s episode, Alice opens up about her shift from bikini to a more muscular division, the psychological rollercoaster of gaining weight intentionally (yes, it’s a thing), and how judging has changed her perspective on posing and physique goals.

    Ben shares why the off-season is where strategy matters most—and why you might need to get uncomfortable to level up.

    If you’ve ever questioned your path in bodybuilding or wondered what the next chapter might look like, this one’s for you.

  • Episode 220: Ep 220 - 10 Nutrition Mistakes Vegans Make
    Jun 1 2025

    Most of us didn't go vegan and instantly become nutrition wizards. Whether you went full “lentils and brown rice” or lived off potato chips and Oreos (no judgment), there are some common pitfalls that almost every new vegan stumbles into. In this episode, Sawyer and Giacomo break down the top 10 mistakes we’ve made ourselves—and that we see all the time in our clients. You’ll learn what to look out for, how to correct course, and how to stay fueled and thriving on a plant-based diet—without falling into the “I guess I just need meat” trap.
