The Cost of Chasing Feedback Jun 19, 2026

Show notes

As competitors we know the importance of feedback. But there is also a cost to chasing critique especially when it comes to your physique!

Judges feedback is important, feedback from social media? Not so much!

Feedback can also sometimes seem conflicting - buzzwords like conditioning, fullness, size and density all need context!

Tune in to hear our discussion and let us know YOUR feedback questions!
