Just wanted to give you a heads up that I was recently a guest on my good friend Jay Ferruggia’s Podcast.
We talked a ton about physique transformation training and nutrition, mostly about how my strategies have evolved over the last 5 years — for both myself as an athlete, and my methods/teaching approach as a coach (although we did dive a bit into my “reverse mid-life crisis”). Here’s the show notes of what we specifically covered.
