The Work Episode 16 - Greg's Competition Recap

In this episode, we break down Greg's return to the competition stage at the Wisconsin Warrior! He walks us through every step—from the late-night drive to Eau Claire to crushing it in classic physique (and yes, winning the masters class solo 😎). We talk about show-day nutrition, shaky legs under those stage lights, and how critical posing practice really is.

You'll hear what it's like to go from anxious first-timer to seasoned competitor, and why floating down a river with 15 other athletes the next day might just be the perfect post-show tradition. Plus, we talk about off-season lessons, pushing calories too far, and keeping that hunger for improvement without blowing up in the bulk.

We also give an update on the September show, our posing course, and the return of Primal Fudge (finally back in stock, y'all!). Whether you're thinking about competing or just want a peek behind the curtain, this one's got it all—mustaches, mullets, and some solid mindset gems.
