Beyond The Muscle Podcast

In the episode I had the pleasure of sitting down with Shaun Fury.

Shaun is a natural bodybuilder & founder of the Natty King and he’s aiming to grow natural bodybuilding to new heights.

I’m a big fan of what Shaun is aiming to achieve, and his optimism and ambition is a breath of fresh air in the, often rather clinical world of natural bodybuilding!

In this chat we discuss how his love for natural bodybuilding started, the direction in which he’d like to see natural bodybuilding take and his plans to help make that happen.

It was a truly enjoyable chat and one in which I’m sure you’ll get some real value from.

Steve has a wealth of experience and I was keen to delve into some of the areas where he’s changed his mind, both with training and diet and how his training philosophy has changed over the years.

Steve was great as always and I’m sure you’ll get a lot of value from this one!
