Project Bodybuilding

Project Bodybuilding had ambitions to become "the home base of bodybuilding media podcasting, breaking news, and intelligent and entertaining community conversation." Hosted by Matt and Lorenzo, the show featured interview-style episodes running about 80 minutes, focusing on competitive bodybuilding topics, athlete prep, and training strategies. The reality is that this podcast had a very short run. Only 2 episodes are currently available on the feed, both from mid-2017, and the show appears to have gone inactive almost immediately after launching. The 3.6 rating from just 7 reviews tells a similar story -- not enough content was produced for the show to find its footing or build a meaningful audience. The episodes that do exist feature conversations with competitors about their contest preparation and training approaches. The interview format showed promise, with Matt and Lorenzo asking substantive questions about the practical realities of bodybuilding life. But the audio quality was inconsistent, and without a sustained release schedule, the show never developed the kind of depth or library that would make it a go-to resource. For completeness, it belongs in any broad survey of bodybuilding podcasts, but listeners looking for ongoing content or a deep archive will need to look elsewhere. The show is essentially a time capsule from 2017 -- a couple of snapshots of the competitive bodybuilding scene from that era. If you happen to be interested in the specific athletes featured, the episodes are worth a quick listen, but set your expectations accordingly.
