    10 Lessons Learned From Over 400 Interviews With Leading Experts

    In this episode, I share 10 key lessons from my fitness and bodybuilding journey. We discuss why the big principles in training and nutrition stay constant, even as experts debate the finer details. I highlight the importance of personal preference, the slow and steady approach to bulking, and the significant role of genetics. We also explore why chasing 'optimal' can be misleading and how science offers clues rather than definitive answers. Plus, learn how to train as hard and as often as possible for maximum growth. These insights will help you navigate your own fitness path! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:12 The big principles don’t change 05:43 Experts agree on the big principles but disagree on the smaller variables 08:51 There are many roads to Rome - there are really no shortcuts 13:53 A lot of diet & training differences can come down to personal preference & that is more important than any small optimality you’re attempting to get - optimal is a fallacy 18:36 Bulking isn’t dead but it should be done slowly 26:15 There are some excellent rules of thumb out there, but you have to focus on the individual at hand to get the best results 31:17 Science is never providing answers, but clues & pushing us further to the truth 37:12 Genetics matter a lot! 46:35 To grow your best you want to train as hard as you can, as often as you can, for as long as you can 53:27 Whilst the big principles don’t change, we’re learning more all the time Thanks, please comment, like and subscribe!
