Listen Later

Fitness model Abel Albonetti stops by to share his fitness story and give some insight into training a certain muscle group he gets asked about constantly. He tells Nick and Heather about growing up home-schooled, transitioning from fashion model to fitness model, and his adventures with new-fangled fitness technology like the NeuFit. If you're curious about carb-cycling, he gives his personal approach to that, too!
Highlights:
- The unique lengths he had to go to when he started training
- How he got his start as a model in fashion, not fitness
- About those Bieber bangs (which he had before Bieber)
- How and why he made the switch to full-time fitness
- Why he's always loved high-volume training, and how beginners should scale it back
- The bodyfat percentage he aims to maintain year-round
- His approach to cardio for year-round definition
- How he found carb-cycling, and how he navegates it
- Why he prefers carb-cycling to "cheating" or weekly refeeds
- How he's made it work and kept progressing for 12 years
- What it was like for him to tour China
- His unique experiences with the NeuFit muscle-stimulation device: "I cannot walk, literally, because my calves are so sore."
- How he has trained abs over the years, and how he does it now
- The essential details on his new program, 30-Day Abs
- NeuFit plus abs: As close as a man can come to the feeling of having a baby
