3D Muscle Journey

Five experienced natural bodybuilding and powerlifting coaches -- Alberto Nunez, Jeff Alberts, Brad Loomis, Eric Helms, and Brian Minor -- sit down together and talk shop. That's the 3D Muscle Journey podcast in a nutshell, and it works remarkably well. The roundtable format means you get multiple perspectives on every topic, from contest prep periodization to hypertrophy programming to the mental side of competing. Eric Helms brings the research chops (he has a PhD in exercise science and serves as the team's Chief Science Officer), while Jeff Alberts contributes decades of competitive experience dating back to 1993. Alberto Nunez has been on stage since 2007. Together, they balance scientific evidence with the practical wisdom that only comes from years of coaching athletes and competing themselves. Episodes run about an hour to 90 minutes and drop biweekly. They tackle listener Q&A sessions, break down their biggest coaching lessons, and discuss emerging research. The 4.8 rating from 375 reviews reflects what listeners consistently say: this team gives genuine, no-BS advice without trying to sell you anything. There's no hidden upsell or supplement pitch baked into the episodes. With 300 episodes in the archive, there's a massive library covering virtually every aspect of natural bodybuilding. Jeff's emphasis on a holistic approach -- making sure athletes succeed both in and out of the gym -- gives the show a maturity that's sometimes missing from purely performance-focused content.
