Description

On Episode 97 of the I’M PEAKING Podcast, we’re joined by our good friend, Jared Feather: IFBB Pro bodybuilder, sports physiologist, and Head Physique & Bodybuilding Specialist at RP Strength, to finally settle the debate between raving and making gains. Jared explains what actually happens to your progress when you spend an entire weekend dancing, barely eating, and running on four hours of sleep. We discuss how much sleep you really need to build muscle, why protein and consistent training matter more than perfectly optimizing every detail, and how Jared manages to balance professional bodybuilding with his newfound love for raving. We also discuss John Summit canceling several festival appearances to recharge, whether fans expect too much from touring DJs, celebrities entering the EDM scene, the rise of AI-generated music, and how Jared went from knowing almost nothing about rave culture to getting recognized at festivals for his rave content with Devin. Plus, we react to festival clips and ask Jared our most burning questions! What do YOU do to protect your gains during festival weekends? Let us know in the comments! 💬 And be sure to like, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on notifications for more conversations about rave culture, EDM, festivals, fitness, and everything happening inside the scene! 🤍🔔 Link to buy an I'M PEAKING Jersey: http://impeakingpod.myshopify.com/ Link to grab a BoomBoom (code IMPEAKING to save): https://boomboomnaturals.com/ CHECK OUT OUR PATREON (for bonus content) - https://patreon.com/user?u=87212419 LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST ON STREAMING PLATFORMS: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/04FSeasdwUWUPaF79ZrlGN Apple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/im-peaking/id1644606726 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: I'M PEAKING Podcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/impeakingpod/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@impeakingpod Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/impeaking Devin Larscheid YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@devinlarscheid Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/devinlarscheid/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@devinlarscheid Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/indevinitely Threads - https://www.threads.net/@devinlarscheid Nand Mahasuwan YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw0h80t2rgdz_hp4kmyCN2g Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nandmahasuwan/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nand.the.rave.dad Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/nandtheravedad Threads - https://www.threads.net/@nandmahasuwan Brinda Arreygue (aka Wavybrin) YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Brindaarrey  Instagram - https://instagram.com/Wavybrin   TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@wavybrin?_t=8ZaDRCszhLm&_r=1 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wavybrin?mibextid=LQQJ4d Daniel Jun (aka Bassbaedaniel) YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@bassbaedaniel Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bassbaedaniel/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@UCWQ3hBeb8cu15UzM7HxIylg  Threads - https://www.threads.net/@bassbaedaniel Jan Danielle Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thejandanielle/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thejandanielle JARED FEATHER YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@JAREDFEATHERRP Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jared_feather TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jared_feather RP STRENGTH YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@UCfQgsKhHjSyRLOp9mnffqVg  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rpstrength TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@rpstrength #ravers #edm #raves #impeaking #podcast #edmfestivals #RPStrength #bodybuilding
