Today I’m joined by one of my best friends, and the man who’s
transformation put RNT on the map – Shyam Kotecha.
We’ve been fortunate to have been part of numerous
transformations at RNT, but never have I seen one have as much of
an impact or a domino effect as Shyam’s.
It’ll always be the transformation that’s closest to my heart,
simply for what it did for us at RNT, and for how many people it
inspired to take charge of their lives and transform.
On this episode, we go through his journey, and spend a lot of
time talking training, the mindset behind real hard training, and
why it’s so important to build the physique you’re after.
If you’re someone who’s come out of fat loss and wondering
what’s next in store, and why the next phase is even more
important, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
It was fun talking about training in this much depth, and I
hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
