Welcome to the tailored life podcast, the one and only fitness and nutrition podcast that goes way beyond just training and nutrition.

I'm your host, Cody McBroom, and today we have an interview with a good friend and a very, very impressive athlete, a very impressive

about how he's approached this prep of his competition versus the last ones. So even if you're not
