Today, host Celeste Rains-Turk interviews Adam Atkinson of See You Later Leaner who has had a passion for fitness and health since he was young as his dad and he created their own home gym which sparked a passion for lifting much like his fathers passion. He has been a powerlifter and nationally qualified bodybuilder himself.  He turned his love of lifting into a career training at a local YMCA in 2002 with his issa certification. As his client base grew he founded SYLL in Columbus, Ohio to provide proper nutrition on top of training. He has been coined the diet doc of his town and works with people from all walks of life and of course competitors. His success in the NPC, IFBB, and other federations has led to many top placings, pro cards, and ultimately dream making which is his true passion  

In this educational and informative episode, coach Adam discusses the personal and professional trials and tribulations he tackles as a contest prep coach.  

Adam and Celeste dive deep into topics concerning Adam’s coaching philosophy, prioritizing the health of his clients, and ways to make sure the body is ready for the rigors of prep.  Adam elaborates on the attributes and separating factors between good athletes versus athletes that are truly exceptional.  

He goes on to talk about the use of PEDs with amateur athletes, and sheds light on the rumors associated with “politics” in competing.  In the rapid-fire round, Celeste inquires about many hot topics in the realm of bikini prep; Adam answers, providing listeners with his honest and experience based input.  

Adam’s level of commitment to his clients and passion for coaching radiates throughout this episode, as he provides touching and personal experiences during his time as a competition prep coach.  

Of course, Adam provides ways for listeners to connect with him on social media, as well as his website.  This is certainly an episode you don’t want to miss!
