The essentials for success in bodybuilding and body transformations with Muscle Nerd Luke Leaman #159

Published: Jan. 25, 2021, 11:35 a.m.

Over the past 12 years, today's guest\xa0Luke Leaman has taught thousands of personal trainers and coaches how to get better at their craft, and how to build great careers.

The co-founder of Muscle Nerds first picked up a barbell at 8 years old and never stopped. After attending a Poliquin seminar, he was hooked and eventually ended up working for Charles and travelling the world teaching. Helping others and this industry are his passion.

Luke\u2019s seen it all, has coached high level athletes as well as gen pop, has an endless thirst for information and is an absolute wealth of knowledge. In this conversation we get into programming and periodization, client assessment, the application of aerobic fitness, exercise selection and more.

If you're a coach, I highly recommend you get out your pen and paper for this conversation and check out Muscle Nerds via the link below.\xa0
