| 2/9/26 |  Why Elite Performers Still Self-Sabotage (And How to Stop) | The proven system 1000+ men use to stay lean, strong, clear, and capable. https://www.muscleintelligence.com/apply/ What if your biggest performance problem isn't strategy, discipline, or effort, but subconscious resistance you can't see?

You'll learn how subconscious patterns form (often between ages 5–10), why talk therapy can miss the root programming, and how physical sensations like tightness, nausea, or dread can reveal the exact block that needs work. If you've ever known what to do but couldn't make yourself do it, this conversation will change how you see your mind. 5 Bullet Points: How subconscious "programs" drive self-sabotage Why fear is behind most performance blocks The cube-to-ball metaphor for elite optimization How to spot your blind spots fast A simple self-audit to reveal resistance Watch My Previous Episode with Elliot: Watch on YouTube Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify Work With Elliot's Team https://elliotroe.com/ Get Started with Muscle Intelligence Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways we can help you look, feel and perform at your best: 1.

In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Lee Priest at the iconic Gold's Gym in Venice California, to unpack the real foundations of bodybuilding: hard training, simple nutrition, and ruthless consistency. Lee shares what his actual contest prep looked like (including the cycles people still argue about), why modern bodybuilding often looks "softer," and the intensity mindset most lifters have lost. We also go deeper on focus, distraction, and why phones are quietly destroying training quality, and even life quality. If you're serious about building muscle, staying powerful as you age, and cutting through the noise, this one delivers. 5 Bullet Points: Lee's real contest-prep cycle, explained simply Why "more gear" often makes you worse Old school training principles that still win The intensity mindset most lifters avoid Phones, distraction, and lost training quality About Ben Ben Pakulski is the Chief Performance Officer to elite executives, successful entrepreneurs, and top athletes.With over 25 years of experience, he coaches high achievers to build the physical, psychological, and metabolic resilience required to lead at the highest level.

Rising through the ranks as a teenage standout, Lee earned his pro card in the early 1990s and became one of bodybuilding's most iconic physiques through the late-90s and 2000s. He's respected not just for how he looked on stage, but for how he trained: hard, simple, consistent, and focused on execution over ego. Today, Lee remains a fan-favorite for his unfiltered opinions on modern bodybuilding culture, drugs, training intensity, and what it actually takes to build an elite body.
