On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m pleased to welcome back Dr Scott Stevenson, as go deep into muscle building and bodybuilding - discussing topics such as how to use pauses, how to maximise tension for growth, the difference between beginners, intermediates and advanced, meditative effects of bodybuilding, peak week and what it takes to execute a death set that has you talking to God at the end. Scott is a wealth of knowledge, and we could have spent hours talking about the intricacies of bodybuilding. If you’re ready to take your physique to the next level, this one is going to be a big one for you! “If you address and connect with things, then you get a higher quality experience.”
