On this solo episode I unpack the three most useful books I've studied over the years to build the physique I have today and unpack the principles I will be using over the next 8-10 years before I step on stage with the purpose of earning a professional bodybuilding title.    The first two books are timeless, old-school classics that should really be a part of any athlete's library. The third book is an essential to bodybuilding competitors but will have little benefit to those who have no wish to ever compete. In this case you can sign off after...
