    Lawrence is a fantastic host and I love the different types of episodes he does, the Star Wars intros definitely add to the experience. Will he ever run out of references? Loving that he brings on female guests, keep them coming - Trilby

228: Beyond The Glam | The Realities Of Female Physique Sports
Q: Are there any considerations that you have for your clients that are females versus your male clients that you think there's extra things to check before starting prep?
Loz answers that, beyond muscularity, readiness involves relationship with food, the client's why, and mental resilience to endure a prolonged prep, ensuring they can manage daily life and training both during and after prep.
223: Why Old Injuries Keep Coming Back
Q: Are there some muscle tears that just don't heal?
Yes, there are reasons why muscle tears may not seem to heal. It could be due to insufficient rehabilitation, other structures being affected, or the pain system becoming sensitive over time.
