The Ryan Sullivan Show

This week I’m joined by competitive bodybuilder Jack Singleton! Jack sits down with me to discuss his craft, what goes into it and most importantly – how he is able to compete at such a high level.

He’ll take you through the nutrition, the sleep and workout schedule and even more interestingly, the drugs and hormones that you need to get to the next level.

This conversation is an open and honest discussion not only about Jack’s life and passion, but also competitive bodybuilding as a sport.

I hope you enjoy!
