Description
In this episode of Iron Summit, we’re joined by Greg Bulsak, former All-American wrestler turned bodybuilder to talk performance, physique, and long-term training balance.

We dive into the mental side of training, offseason strategy, and why consistency matters more than perfection. A powerful conversation on finding the sweet spot between strength, cardio, and aesthetics plus a rapid-fire round and what’s next for Greg.
