On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I’m joined by AJ Morris, a natural bodybuilder and coach, who’s excelled rapidly up in the ranks of bodybuilding in the past couple of years, to talk all about the realities of going from lean to shredded, staying injury free, reverse diets, progression models, productive off seasons and also, why we both have a special love for natural bodybuilding in particular.
