In this episode, I share 10 key lessons from my fitness and bodybuilding journey. We discuss why the big principles in training and nutrition stay constant, even as experts debate the finer details. I highlight the importance of personal preference, the slow and steady approach to bulking, and the significant role of genetics.We also explore why chasing 'optimal' can be misleading and how science offers clues rather than definitive answers. Plus, learn how to train as hard and as often as possible for maximum growth. These insights will help you navigate your own fitness path!Timestamps:00:00 Intro03:12 The big principles don’t change05:43 Experts agree on the big principles but disagree on the smaller variables08:51 There are many roads to Rome - there are really no shortcuts13:53 A lot of diet & training differences can come down to personal preference & that is more important than any small optimality you’re attempting to get - optimal is a fallacy18:36 Bulking isn’t dead but it should be done slowly26:15 There are some excellent rules of thumb out there, but you have to focus on the individual at hand to get the best results31:17 Science is never providing answers, but clues & pushing us further to the truth37:12 Genetics matter a lot!46:35 To grow your best you want to train as hard as you can, as often as you can, for as long as you can53:27 Whilst the big principles don’t change, we’re learning more all the timeThanks, please comment, like and subscribe!COACHING: https://revivestronger.com/online-coaching/WEBSITE: https://www.revivestronger.com/MINI CUT MOVEMENT: https://revivestronger.com/mini-cut-movement/DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/WtDsYWAAgTMEMBERSITE: https://revivestronger.com/team-revive-stronger/SHOP: https://www.revivestronger.com/shopFACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/revivestrongerINSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/revivestrongerNEWSLETTER: https://bit.ly/2rRONG5__________________________________________________________________If you want to support us via a donation, that's highly appreciated!Patreon• https://www.patreon.com/revivestrongerDon't like Patreon, go to Paypal!• https://bit.ly/2XZloJ4__________________________________________________________________Our Ebooks!Ultimate Guide To Contest Prep Ebook:• https://revivestronger.com/product/the-ultimate-guide-to-contest-prep/Primer Phase Ebook:• https://revivestronger.com/product/the-primer-phase/__________________________________________________________________Stay up to date with the latest research and educate yourself!MASS (Research Review):• https://goo.gl/c7FSJDJPS Mentorship• https://jpseducation.mykajabi.com/a/13324/esJ8AZwyMuscle & Strength Pyramids• https://goo.gl/S8s6tG__________________________________________________________________When you're interested in online coaching, please go visit our website and follow the application form:https://www.revivestronger.com/online-coaching/ Learn more about your ad choices.
