I’m now 49 weeks into this improvement season and thought it was time to run through another a quick update.

In this episode I go into detail about where things are currently sitting for me in terms of training, steps, cardio and nutrition, and also why the healthiest decision was to pull out of my recent mini-cut.

In today's episode we've used the opportunity to talk about the early stages of bodybuilding and how natural bodybuilding is still a niche sport, yet arguably one of the hardest sports to compete in.
