We cover his biggest takeaways from working with top researchers like Helms & Zourdos. Surprising insights from studies on energy surpluses & reps in reserve accuracy. His approach to training & nutrition as he preps for his first bodybuilding show. How anime has influenced his mindset & approach to lifting
