IFBB Physique Pro George Brown is back and preparing for his return to the stage. With over a decade in the sport and 54 shows under his belt, George breaks down exactly what it takes to stay competitive at 45 with Muscle & Strength Video Producer Dan Drescher.
In this video, we go inside peak week as George walks through his diet, training, cardio, and mindset just days out from competition. From simple meal prep and carb timing to water manipulation and recovery strategies, his approach is built on one principle: execution.
George also shares his thoughts on the evolution of Men’s Physique, the difference between bodybuilding and physique prep, and why keeping things simple is still the most effective strategy at the highest level.
