Today I’m joined by Ben Mulla, where we talk all about his dad bod elimination strategies, and then all about the ins and outs of a productive Investment Phase. At the start of the Investment Phase you have two choices that fall along a continuum of muscle building and lifestyle solutions. For most, you’ll fall somewhere in the middle as you want to learn how to be in great shape year round while also building some muscle. Today’s episode is all about those of you who want to use the Investment Phase to build as much muscle as possible. This phase is all about creating your ideal physique and version 2.0, so if you’ve got plans for an upgrade in 2020, you won’t want to miss this episode. “If you’ve only got lean once, you’ll need two investment phases”
