Today I’m joined by Ben Mulla, where we talk all about his dad
bod elimination strategies, and then all about the ins and outs of
a productive Investment Phase. At the start of the Investment Phase
you have two choices that fall along a continuum of muscle building
and lifestyle solutions. For most, you’ll fall somewhere in the
middle as you want to learn how to be in great shape year round
while also building some muscle. Today’s episode is all about those
of you who want to use the Investment Phase to build as much muscle
as possible. This phase is all about creating your ideal physique
and version 2.0, so if you’ve got plans for an upgrade in 2020, you
won’t want to miss this episode.
