56:14

Nick Shaw is a close friend and the CEO and co-founder of Renaissance Periodization. RP are also my first ever podcast sponsor. 


I’ve known Nick, his co-founder Dr Mike Israetel, and many other members of the RP team for many years, spent time with them at countless events including the Olympia weekend, and had them as guests on my podcast numerous times. I’ve attended several RP seminars, beta tested and later completed the RP Nutrition Certification, and read several of their books. So I love RP’s work and media. So I’m proud and honoured to highlight RP and the RP Hypertrophy app as a sponsor.


In this episode Nick shares his thoughts on:

-Planning for success in your fitness and nutrition habits.

-Creating room to be flexible instead of rigid in your habits. 

-The best options for creating a home gym especially if you don’t have a lot of space.

-Some wisdom on keeping your fitness and nutrition in check when travelling.

-Details on RP’s new protein shot - Genius Shot.

-And much more.
