A fan wondered how the champion avoided overeating after a show. Iain instantly mentioned self-control as the key to this problem. The legend then began relating some real-life instances with the need for self-control.
“How do you avoid not cheating on your wife? How do you avoid not smoking cr**k?” retaliated Iain. Self-control is crucial in these situations, and according to Iain, bodybuilding is just as high-stakes. While the journey is not easy, a bodybuilder needs to be mindful enough to not overdo his steps to recovery.
