This is the first ever Iron & Grit Podcast.
No frills, no filler. Just one man and a microphone dropping fitness knowledge.
In this episode I talk about how I got into fitness and why I love it so much.
I also get into the topic of nutrition and its CRITICAL role in building muscle and gaining size. (Not to mention health and wellness… But we’ll cover that in a future episode.)
