On the final episode of #AuthenticAF before Christmas, we talk
all about the wonderful fat loss benefits of grapefruit oil, how to
gain 3 inches in four weeks, and other ludacris claims spouted by
some of the most popular magazines out there at the moment. We then
dive more into realistic rates of muscle gain, how to keep
performance at the forefront of your mind during building phases,
and why gaining body fat is a necessity to build muscle.
“Without that stimulus the surplus is just making you fat.”
- Ed Pilkington
