What this episode covers
Bodybuilders are known for fat loss and holding on to as much muscle as possible. Today, I've got Dr. Guillermo Escalante who authored a new paper on peak week recommendations for bodybuilders (linked in notes). His team pulled together what the evidence and research show about peak week before stepping on stage. Even if you're not a bodybuilder, if your goal is to look leaner before an event or vacation, take a listen.
