What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the real bodybuilding

podcast. I'm here with A.J. Allison. This is episode number 33 and my man

was cool enough to come on and answer some questions about a different lifestyle that we're not used to.

So what's going on, A.J, how are you?

What's up guys?

Thanks for having on the show.

Yeah, I'm glad to be here, man.

I'm ready to chit-chat about whatever whatever you want to talk about.

All right, so your manager contacted me a little while back and said that you, he thought we should get together and have a discussion because there's a lot of interesting stuff going on in your life.

I took a look at your Instagram. There's a lot of cool stuff. So you started in track and field, you've done some MMA, and now you landed on the bodybuilding stage, but as a classic

or physique competitor, where are you now with that?

Yeah, your question, I mean, I don't know. I really don't. I know we ch chit out a little bit earlier for you for he jumped on. I feel like I'm kind of going to, I have an in-between physique and last year was a rehab year for me while I got the stem cell

injections in my knees where they drilled holes in my back, or in my hip, drew out the bone marrow

sponging the centrifuge and injected the stem cells in both

both clintense and right right and left leg so it put me out for a while I'm still out

I don't think I'll ever be 100% pain-wise so I think that's to have a bit of effect on how what I can do with my legs.

Okay. That's the reality of it but it's it doesn't mean this game over it just means

going back to the drum board and being smart

and trying to figure out a way to train when I was younger put more weight on, put more

weight on, five more pounds, ten more pounds, that's it. It's all I knew how to

increase intensity. Now I'm like okay a little bit older, a little bit wiser. Let's work around some stuff some things now and just use drops, super says compounds,

says, giant says, tempo, you know, whatever whatever just anything besides just stacking on the weight.
