Season 3 Ep. 6 - NPC Junior Nationals Breakdown… & Why Basic Nutrition Still Wins

This week on the D2 Podcast, we're recording a Zoom edition while breaking down one of the biggest weekends in bodybuilding. Lance shares his experience speaking at a nutrition seminar and why the biggest lesson wasn't advanced science—it was realizing just how many people still don't understand the basics of nutrition. From carbs and crash diets to supplements that actually matter, we discuss what everyday people need to hear. Then we dive deep into NPC Junior Nationals, reviewing the standout Classic Physique and Men's Physique competitors, who earned pro cards, and which athletes impressed us the most. We also react to the latest Olympia updates, discuss why Samson Dauda continues to look unbelievable, where Derek Lunsford stands heading into Olympia, and why Jordan Hutchinson has one of the biggest opportunities of his career this weekend. We finish things off talking UFC, old Anderson Silva fights, cardio hacks, and why reliving classic fights has become our favorite way to make cardio fly by.

The boys are back around the table for another wild episode of the D2 Podcast. Lance joins Zach and Luke behind the camera as the crew talks bodybuilding victories, coaching breakthroughs, UFC chaos, bare knuckle fighting, movies, TV shows, summer plans, and one of the most ridiculous debates yet… Would you let Francis Ngannou hit you bare knuckle for $500,000?!

The crew also talks about impostor syndrome, building confidence as a coach, and the momentum the entire team has right now.
