Ep. #761: Here’s Exactly How I’m Training Right Now

Many people who follow me on Instagram after reading my book Bigger Leaner Stronger have been asking about my workouts lately.

That’s because I’ve been posting my daily workouts in my stories, and what I’ve been doing doesn’t match my recommendations in BLS. Naturally, this causes a bit of confusion.

So, what exactly am I doing in the gym, and why? Why am I not following my own program?

Well, I am.

I’m following Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger, which is my book for intermediate and advanced weightlifters.

The workout routine in BLS is great for beginners, but if you’ve already gained your first 25 pounds of muscle and want to gain the remaining 15 pounds or so you have left before hitting your genetic ceiling, you want to follow Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger.

So for this podcast, I’m going to share with you a chapter from my Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger audiobook where I break down the program in detail and explain how it works and how to do it.

So if you want to know exactly how I’m training and see if it’s something for you, I think you’re going to like this episode!
