In this episode, I sit down with World Class Classic Physique Competitor Terrence Ruffin as he opens up about his decision not to compete this year, how he’s been navigating an elbow injury, and the strategic plans in place for a stronger 2025.
From adjusting training splits to focus on bringing up his arms, to managing a seven-meal-a-day schedule, and even sharing his experience with a recent hair transplant, Terence dives into the details of his growth journey this year.
He also reflects on valuable lessons learned, including the importance of aligning decisions with long-term goals, filtering out what’s right for you, and the value of perspective from those closest to you.
