It's been a while since I recorded a podcast on my own training and diet journey. In this podcast, I talk about my own physical insecurities and new approach to diet to see if I can add more muscle mass whilst minimising fat gain.

I will keep you posted! This is my current A/B routine performed once every 3-5 days. The details of the protocol are provided in the podcast.
