Why I Walked Away From Bodybuilding At My Peak

Meg Sylvester-Cielen went from Olympic-level diver to IFBB Pro figure competitor, qualified for the Olympia twice, and then walked away at the top of her sport. In this episode she sits down with Max to talk about why she really quit, the truth about anabolics in female bodybuilding, and the mindset that's driven her since she was eight years old. We get into her journey through dancing, gymnastics and diving, the coach who shaped how she thinks, meeting Kuba and the influence he's had on her career and her life, and the honest reality of what assistance does to your body. She talks openly about the risks she accepted, the changes she owns, the dark places that came with it, and why she has no regrets about any of it. This one's for anyone who's serious about the process, wants the honest conversation nobody else is having, or is trying to understand what it really takes and what it really costs.
