S2 E21 Joshua Sturgill Combat Training for Emotional Stability
First and foremost, I am a believer and follower of Jesus
Christ! Without Him pouring out His blessings upon me over the last couple
years, I can without a doubt say that I would not be living the life I do now,
or be pursuing the dreams I have for myself. Because of His grace and power
moving through me, I am currently a professional athlete as a mixed martial
artist after spending seven years practicing the blended arts. On top of that,
I have seven years of Brazilian jiu-jitsu where I am a blue belt rank in the
practice. I also have an extensive 14 years of experience in the sport of
wrestling, four of which have been spent as part of the Liberty University
Wrestling team where I was an accomplished athlete as a 3x national qualifier
at the NCWA division 1 level. During my senior year with the Liberty team, I
worked double time as a student athlete and worked as a strength &
conditioning coach for the team, which, coincidentally is the year that team
took home the NCWA National duals tournament trophy as well as the overall
National Championships in the same season. I have a bachelor’s degree in
kinesiology as a health & fitness specialist. I am going to working at VMI
as an intern working with the athletic teams as a strength & conditioning
coach for the upcoming academic year 2015-16.

S2 E20 Gastric Bypass Diet
Gastric Bypass Diet
This diet is often recommended for those who go through Gastric Bypass Surgery. But what lessons can we learn from it? Gastric Bypass Surgery is buying will power at a surgical price, but it may be a good idea for some depending on your BMI and other factors for which you should consult your doctor.
However, here we look at the merits of the diet and at how those who do not need the surgery can adapt it to their possible weight loss strategy. But either way consult your doctor.
1. Never skip a meal

S2 E16 Dutchfitgirl A Journey from Loaded Down to Starlet
My name is Daphne Bansberg and I was born in the Netherlands, lived in Switzerland, Minnesota, Massachusetts, and currently in sunny California. I got serious about weight training and living a healthier lifestyle in 2013 after the stillbirth of my son and later on spending 4 months of complete hospital bed rest pregnant with my daughter. I wanted to be happier and find a positive outlet to help cope with my emotions and to generally live a healthier life. I competed in my first NPC bikini Competition June 2014 and have done 2 more shows since then. I am also the proud business owner and designer of Starlet Suits Custom Competition Bikinis.

S2 E15 Fitness Inspiration & Information
Monday, Session 2 Episode 15. On this episode of the Union of Muscle's Podcast I will take a moment of a one-on-one with you. I will talk about personal identity and how that leads my desire to Inspire. I will talk about the difference between Inspiration and manipulation. I will give a few Fit Tips and I will address those who are identified as Millennials.
It's Monday. The humanity is waking up, individuals are activating. And you're listening to the Union of Muscle Podcast. Lift Strong and Prosper!
Self
As babies research seems to indicate that we have not always self-identified. We did not always realize we are not all we see and hear. We did not always realize we weren't a part of our parents. Further proof of this is our desire to assert our independence in our youth.
And maybe a part of me has not grown up or maybe I have just grown out. This is what makes it so hard for me not to help other improve on their fitness. Because I still feel as though the world is a part of me that humanity is an extension of myself. Not like I feel like a car is an extension but like my stomach.
My stomach sends signals to me about discomfort, pleasure, and I can affect the signals it sends back. And while my stomach is a part of me it is a bustling metropolis of microorganisms, enzymes and more. And while I do not have direct control over all that happens in my stomach I can affect and influence reactions.
You are like my stomach. You can send me signals and I can respond to that. It can affect me when you are upset but I do not always have to listen and I have control over what I do with you and to you but you also have the ability to react as you like. Although it seems like we have come so some agreement on what you like and what you do not like.
I would not do well without a stomach. And like wise I would not do well without a connection to humanity. But we all have the ability to choose how we connect.
This is why I feel that if you and humanity are doing well then it will help me do well. It is not directly determinative either way, but there still are correlations and sometimes causations.
Humanity is a part of me like my stomach is a part of me.Inspiration

I am 5'1.

I started at the age of 44 when an old friend suggested I do something with all the muscle I have!
Off season weight 138 comp weight is 124-126
I have been competing in Figure Masters and Open classes since 2011.
I started at the age of 44 when an old friend suggested I do something with all the muscle I have!
Jokingly I agreed but never thought I'd be good at it.
2011 Vulcan Classic Novice short class 2nd, Masters short 1st , Open Short class 1st
2011 Steel World Masters Short 2nd, Open Short class 2nd
2011 Southeastern Classic Masters short class 1st, Masters Overall, Open Short class 2nd
2012 Battle at the River Chattanooga Short Class 4th
2013 WBFF Worlds Pro/Am Las Vegas Open Short 2nd, Masters 3rd
2014 WBFF ORLANDO Open class 2nd and received PRO CARD
2014 WBFF WORLDS Las Vegas PRO SHOW no place
Somewhere in there I almost died from severe-acute pancreatitis but I was not about to let that take me out. I'll explain more in the interview.
I thought I was ready to retire after Worlds last August but I woke up one day not too long ago and the urge was burning deep to push myself harder because someone told me I didn't have it anymore. Never tell me I can't do something, that fuels me to fight harder than ever. So I am currently in contest prep.

S2 E13 Donnette' Husley A Special Report
I placed 2nd in the Novice Category in Clash of the Capstone. My biggest challenge is learning to eat healthy. I grew up in Eight Mile, Alabama. A small country town where everyone would gather to eat. Plus we fried everything! With the help of my Coach, Greg Hassberry, I've learned to make the right choices without sacrificing taste.
I also work in TV which means traveling and long hours. But I've learned to be prepared with my meals and schedule workouts around those events. My latest NPC show was the Vulcan Classic where I placed 3rd in Ms. Birmingham, 3rd in Masters over 35 and 5th in Open Figure.

S2 E7 Mariana Belief Power and Beauty
.jpg)
February 2014 marked that date she first began to seriously prepare for her first NPC Show. From the moment she stepped on stage she knew she had found her calling and completely fell in love with the sport. Mariana pushed herself not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well making her grow in ways she had never expected. Her first show was on April 2014 and by her 5th show on July 2014 she was on the NPC National stage and earned her IFBB Pro Card as well as taking the title of Overall Bikini Champion.
Mariana is determined to continuously push her limits to see how far she can go. Her heart is all about fitness, having fun, and being adventurous. She loves to be able to inspire others and the biggest compliment she can receive is when someone tells her that she was the one that caused them to change their lives to the better.
