    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!
