Welcome back to the rewind podcast series, going back over our favorite podcasts over the years. This podcast is on what I call high-performance hypertrophy. This came about from my love of bodybuilding and CrossFit, wanting to get the best of both worlds, build muscle, look good, feel good, and still feel capable and athletic while still focusing on some aesthetic stuff. So I basically combined a lot of bodybuilding exercises with a lot of CrossFit-type exercises, and it basically evolved into something called high-performance hypertrophy. And a lot of the programs that I write, especially for Build fall into this category. This program is now available to all those on the Limitless Challenge. We cover why it exists, who it’s for, what it requires, and what can be expected from it. It’s a tough program for tough people ... are you ready for it?Connect with Piet and PharosPiet's InstagramPharos InstagramPharos Mountain Lodge InstagramWebsiteSign Up HereWelcome to the Pharos Fit Podcast.
