Julia Ladewski is a boss: former D1 strength and conditioning coach, veteran powerlifter (she’s still setting PRs), and physique competitor.
I was unable to personally be on this podcast because I got really sick when we were set to record. But we had some great people fill in, and this podcast is still amazing stuff. It’s hard not to have an awesome podcast when you’re talking to someone like Julia.
What’s really amazing to me is her recent bodybuilding efforts after years and years of powerlifting. It really only makes sense because the two go hand-in-hand so well. A bigger muscle is a stronger muscle, so muscle gain is great for athletes wanting to perform better. And if you’re just interested in aesthetics, being strong helps you put more weight on the bar so that you can put on more muscle. We talk about Julia getting on the bodybuilding stage and so much more in this one.
