Here's Exactly How I'm Training Right Now

Published: June 11, 2021, 10 a.m.

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

\n

That\u2019s because I\u2019ve been posting my daily workouts in my stories, and what I\u2019ve been doing doesn\u2019t match my recommendations in BLS. Naturally, this causes a bit of confusion.

\n

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

\n

Well, I am.

\n

I\u2019m following Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger, which is my book for intermediate and advanced weightlifters.

\n

The workout routine in BLS is great for beginners, but if you\u2019ve 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.

\n

So for this podcast, I\u2019m 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.

\n

So if you want to know exactly how I\u2019m training and see if it\u2019s something for you, I think you\u2019re going to like this episode!
