Ep. #316: Marc Perry on How to Stay Super Lean Year Round (Without Hating Your Life)


Listen Later

Once you understand the mechanics proper dieting, getting lean isn’t all that difficult.

Sure, it’s nevereasy in the way that gaining weight is easy, but most of us can plod through a couple months of cutting to get some abs for the summer.

The real challenge is staying lean. For the long haul. That’s what separates the fitness champions from the rest of the contenders.

That’s why I invited my friend Marc Perry on the podcast. He’s the founder of BuiltLean.com, and when it comes to staying absolutely shredded month after month, year after year, he walks the walk. He also manages to do it without losing his mind, which makes it all the more impressive.
