Doug Brignole Talks Nutrition

Guest: Doug Brignole

Brignole has emerged as possibly the most insightful and influential author on training techniques of the times. His books have shown people that "train smarter" is more than just words. His understanding of human physiology and kinesiology has lead to more effective ways to build muscle and strength while mitigating the risk of injury. At 61 years of age his ripped, muscular physique looks to be that of a man 20 years his junior. But wait. Training doesn't make you ripped. The only diet does that. We go inside the Brignole kitchen to talk about effective nutrition, supplementation, his opinions on fasting, caffeine and more. Come join the fun live.
