Episode 185: Ep 185 - From Injury To Advocacy - Interview With Bradie Crandall Muscles By Brussels Radio podcast

35:13

Are you all in or all out when it comes to your fitness and nutrition? In this episode, Giacomo and Coach Ben unpack the sneaky ways black-and-white thinking shows up in routines, training plans, and even your meal prep. We’re talking perfectionism, fear of change, identity attachment, and why you might be too loyal to your oatmeal and tofu scramble. We explore how being a creature of habit can be a superpower—but also a trap when it stops you from evolving. Giacomo shares how sticking to “his foods” became more about mental bandwidth than macros, and Ben explains why flexibility inside structure is the real key to progress. If you’ve ever felt like missing one workout or going off-plan means you've "ruined everything," this one’s for you. ✨ Helpful Links and Resources: 🌱 Coaching Application Take your fitness and nutrition goals to the next level with one-on-one coaching: http://www.veganproteins.com/personal-training 📖 Free High-Protein Vegan Cookbook: https://mailchi.mp/veganproteins/xytg8h94zp 💪 Muscles by Brussels Membership: Try it free for one month: https://www.veganproteins.com/muscles-by-brussels-membership-free-trial/ ✅ Membership Includes: Bi-weekly live coaching calls Monthly home or gym workouts 200+ high-protein vegan recipes Exclusive app features Habit challenges with cash prizes A supportive vegan athlete community 🔗 Follow Us Online: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veganproteins/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VeganProteins Website: https://www.veganproteins.com/ Apparel: Muscles by Brussels Tank Tops SCIENCE: MASS (Monthly Application In Strength Sport) : MASS is one of our secret weapons and it continues to be an invaluable resource for us to keep up to date with the latest research.
