The Mad Scientist of Muscle is back…

If you are looking for some new muscle building methods, this is the guy to listen to!

Our friend Nick Nilsson has released a new book titled, Return to Prime – Reset Your Muscle Clock Back 20 Years.

So naturally we just named the episode after his book 😉

Every stone has been turned over and every corner of the globe explored. 

Nick is known as the mad scientist of muscle because he tries EVERYTHING possible to naturally build muscle from his home gym.

And he has gotten pretty darn good at it over the last 20+ years!

If you are not familiar with Nick, we encourage you to go back and listen to past episodes listed below and be sure to follow him on IG, FB and YouTube for more of his extraordinary content.
