What's going on everybody? You're back with the real bodybuilding podcast. This is episode

number 66 and I am with my man Josh Lenarowitz. How are you sir?

Good mate. Well I'm getting the name right. Well I've heard your name announced many many times in

top placing top three placing top five placing and it's it was it's been a

pretty amazing career for you most of who don't know Josh burst onto the

scene halfway through my career in 2014 2015 yeah 2015 2015 was probably my peak when I first got into it and started winning pro shows.

Yeah, and you immediately, like as soon as you came on the scene, you know, some pros take time to like kind of get their bearings and move up the ranks a little bit.

It seemed like as soon as you came on everybody kind of had took notice and you started.

What was your first pro win? The San Marino Pro. It was that was the highlight. I think

What year was that? That was 2015. So 2013 I competed and there wasn't an overall out and in 2014 there was and that's

what I won my pro card and then because Australia is the body winning community in terms of professionals is pretty small. So straight away, as soon as you go pro, you're in against the pros that night.

So it was kind of like looking backstage,

you know, as amateur to pro level

to then getting backstage against Sean Roven and Branch Warren and I'm like oh my goodness it's just like step up.

It's funny you said that let me ask you this so when I turned pro it took me you know some of my friends were like, but not friends, people who knew me kind of from before were like, you made a massive jump from 2007 to 2008, but for me I think I remember seeing the guys when I turned a pro in 2007 was my first time stepping on stage with them.

And it's almost eye opening to the point where I was like, holy shit.

And then the next year I was dramatically better because I knew what I was

walking up against. Yeah. Do you think having to kind of get thrown right into it is why your career

accelerated the way did?, I believe so.

You know, like when you're an amateur, you've got the chance of winning any show you step into.

If you're decent enough.

Yeah.
