Ep. 179 - #AuthenticAF P5 | Grapefruit Oil & The Arms Race
On the final episode of #AuthenticAF before Christmas, we talk all about the wonderful fat loss benefits of grapefruit oil, how to gain 3 inches in four weeks, and other ludacris claims spouted by some of the most popular magazines out there at the moment. We then dive more into realistic rates of muscle gain, how to keep performance at the forefront of your mind during building phases, and why gaining body fat is a necessity to build muscle.
“Without that stimulus the surplus is just making you fat.”
