Okay, well, hello everyone. Welcome to the Ice Cream for PR's podcast. I'm your host and my name is Jeff Nippard.

And what follows is a conversation that I had with Alex from the YouTube channel Alpha Destiny.

Now, I know that we have a lot of crossover audience, especially on YouTube, but many of my podcast listeners may not be aware of him.

So in short, I think Alex's main claim to fame

is his very impressive neck and trap development. And I've borrowed heavily from his philosophies

in these areas in my own pursuit to bring up my neck and traps. He's also the founder of

outalpha.com. And you can find more information about his programming and his philosophies

over there. But the main reason why I wanted to have Alex on the podcast is because he's seen

some incredible results himself and with his clients using his training principles. I mean,

some of the transformations he's created are really unlike anything I've seen in terms of

building up the neck and trap area so the focus of our conversation is on

something called nucleus overload and specific strategies to make you look

enhanced as a natural. So you'll see that Alex and I don't necessarily agree on everything,

which is okay. I think it's important to keep an open mind to approaches that have been

simply shown to be effective in the field and not confine or suffocate your approach to being only open

to that which has been validated in the peer-reviewed literature. I think that a myopic view like

that is a way to leave a lot of potential gains on the table. So given how well this went,

I'm hoping to have more recorded conversations like this in the future, and I do plan to

upload them here to my podcast and also on my

YouTube channel where my audience has just exploded over the last few months. So if you're
