This week I chat with Dr Brandon Roberts all about his current natural bodybuilding prep. He’s just stepped off stage & has another show in a week. We dive into all things from peak week, step counts, posing & much much more. Plus I get his updated thoughts surrounding protein timing, amounts & the importance of leucine given recent literature that’s come out on the topic. Lots of gold to be found inside for a bodybuilding enthusiast.
