Joining us for this weeks episode of the Longevity Muscle Podcast is a very special guest, the one and only, Nick Wright! Nick's first upload to his YouTube channel 'Scondore', which would eventually evolve into 'Nick Wright Bodybuilding' was over 14 years ago. He's been training and competing in bodybuilding since a teenager, being one of the first (if not the first) teenage competitive bodybuilder to not only become sponsored by a major supplement company, but also land the cover of a published fitness magazine! He eventually would retire from competitive natural bodybuilding to take up competitive powerlifting where he achieved a 600+lbs squat, 425lbs Bench and 650lbs deadlift. This is a man that represents longevity on so many levels and has a decorated history as far as  accolades within the fitness and bodybuilding culture.
