• Nutrition and how to adjust what you’re eating to get optimal gains
• The different training methods you can adopt and the ones I’ve found have given me the best results
• Ways to optimally lose body fat while still gaining strength and size (no bulking/cutting phases here!)
• Using Intermittent Fasting to speed up your fat loss, strength gains and overall health

There will be a Q&A session at the end of the talk to ask anything else you would like to know. Every’body’ can benefit from working out, even if you can only manage just once a week, so knowing the best things to do is going to be invaluable for optimal gains.

Let’s get fitter and healthier together!
