What is going on, guys.

Welcome to another episode of the Boom Boom Performance Podcast.

Today's guest is a good old friend Christopher Barracat,

which is one of these smartest guys in the natural bodybuilding space. He is a competitive

natural bodybuilder himself. He is a natural bodybuilding coach. He is a scientist, a college

professor, educator. He has multiple degrees through college.

he really goes into the science to make sure that your muscles are going to grow at the best possible rate and the

most efficient rate possible while being able to consistently do it long term because as he

knows just as well as I do, all the science in the world doesn't matter if adherence isn't
