The Arnold Experience Wrap Up Pt. 2 - with Aimee Delgado, Drew and Jordan Brannon
Hey, Fit Fam!
We’re back from one of the biggest weekends in the fitness world—the Arnold! If you’ve been following along, you know last week we broke down the highs, the energy, and the unforgettable moments from the event. But what happens after the stage lights go down? How do athletes transition back to real life after months of grueling prep?
Today, we’re diving into post-show life—the meals, the mindset, and the lessons learned from this incredible experience. And we’ve got an amazing panel to talk about it, including powerhouse athletes Jordan Brannon, Aimee Delgado, and our expert coach Drew Brannon.
The conversation covers key aspects of post-show life, including:
🔥 The Immediate Post-Show Feelings – Relief, gratitude, and hunger! The panel shares what it’s like stepping off stage and reconnecting with family, fans, and coaches.
🍕 The First Post-Show Meal – Athletes share their go-to choices, with most opting for savory and satisfying foods like steak, potatoes, and pizza instead of sugary treats.
📉 The Reverse Diet Struggle – Many first-time competitors struggle with transitioning back to normal eating habits. The panel discusses common mistakes, the importance of intentional food choices, and how to avoid the dreaded post-show rebound.
🏆 What It Means to Live Like a Pro – Competing isn’t just about what happens on stage—it’s about maintaining discipline, making smart choices, and treating fitness as a lifelong commitment.
💡 Key Takeaway: Whether you’re a competitor or just working toward your own fitness goals, what you do after reaching a milestone matters just as much as the journey itself. Stay mindful, fuel your body wisely, and always think long-term!
