Atlas Podcast #26 | Lina Gharapetian & James Ayotte

In this episode of The Atlas Podcast, I sit down with licensed therapist, counselor, and Team Atlas posing coach, Lina Gharapetian, for an in-depth discussion on the mental and emotional challenges athletes face in bodybuilding. We dive into the psychological side of competition, breaking down how to build emotional resilience, manage anxiety during prep, and shift from a perfectionist mindset to one that prioritizes progress and long-term success. Lina shares her expertise on how competitors can develop a strong, balanced mentality and avoid common mental pitfalls that derail their journey. We also cover the importance of posing, what separates great posers from average ones, and how small details—like confidence, fluidity, and breathing—can make or break a competitor’s stage presence. Lina explains why posing should be treated as a skill developed year-round, not just something practiced before a show. Beyond competing, we tackle body image struggles, disordered eating patterns, and the emotional highs and lows that come with extreme dieting and physique changes. Lina offers practical strategies to develop a healthy relationship with food and training, emphasizing why a sustainable mindset is key to longevity in the sport. If you’re an athlete struggling with self-doubt, stress, or mindset hurdles, this episode is packed with insights to help you navigate the mental game of bodybuilding and elevate your performance.
