On today’s episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by Kevin
Duffy based out of Scotland who holds over a decade of experience
in the game.
Having known Kevin a while, I love the infectious passion he
has for helping people transform their body and change their lives
while at the same time getting them super strong in the
process.
In this episode, we talk about how Kevin got into the
industry, why his love for art, graphics and architecture has
helped him as a coach, and why getting strong is the most important
thing you can do for your body.
As a competitive powerlifter who’s squatted over 2.5x
bodyweight and deadlifted over 3x bodyweight, Kevin knows strength,
and we go deep in this episode about the best ways to add strength,
the mindset to take when you’re trying to add pounds to the bar,
and some cool milestones to aim for if you’re serious about gaining
muscle.
‘’You’ve to be consistent for a long period of time, it’s not a 2- or 3-month fix’’
