Everyone's got one shot. One shot at a goal, one time. Mine, for the next 12 months, is a national title in bodybuilding.

Yes, you know, the program that we designed for you right now is a bulking program, and the same working out plan. So usually those kind of workout plans, you know, you talk about less repetitions, less sets, trying to give your body more rest in between sets. So we're trying to gain some good quality size and with enough rest time. You know, and I've learned this something from years before. You know, you don't build any muscle in the gym. Yep. You know, we break muscle down in the gym. We break down our muscle and we build our muscle is when we're resting. Yep. When the proper nutrition follows the workout and a diet when it follows the workout. That's when the building phase happens. So what we're trying to do, we're trying to break down muscle a certain way, You know, in the gym and then we're trying to recover, to have enough time to recover, and when we're home, when we're eating, when we're, you know, doing our supplements and nutrition and everything that follows that.
