Ep. 17 - The Reality Of Competing As A Female: The Good, The Bad & The Controversial With Hannah Wares

Got some feedback? Drop us a message!

You asked, we delivered! This week we have top amateur IFBB athlete and host of The Pocket Rocket Podcast, Hannah Wares - sharing the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to prep.

It’s no secret that prep presents its challenges but we wanted to speak with Hannah in particular to get her views and experience, having competed at a high level for a number of years.

In particular we love Hannah’s transparency and we wanted listeners, whether first time or experienced competitors, to get a true and raw picture of what you can encounter during and after a prep.

We cover:

- Different approaches to food post-show, over-eating vs. over-restricting
- Managing social occasions, work, the need to be selfish and preserving your energy on prep
- Dealing with comments and how to protect your physical and mental space
- The impact of extreme dieting externally and internally
- What Hannah has learnt over the years and how this current prep is different
- Hannah’s goals and expectations from this season


And so much more.
