When I played two sports in college, I received training and nutrition advice from a world record holder in power lifting who had years of experience with athletes.

Consistency is king, right? Everyone knows that some things work better than others, but no matter what, if you workout more, and eat healthy foods then you will lose fat, get more ‘ripped’, and increase your strength.
