From competitive bodybuilder to taking TRT at 22, to nearly 100% Carnivore, Monte’s story is one you need to hear.
In this episode, Monte shares his journey through bodybuilding, depression, high-volume training, and TRT - and what finally made him realize his diet and training were working against him.
We get into why so many young men turn to TRT before fixing the basics, what happens when you don’t eat enough fat, why modern bodybuilding looks so different from Arnold’s era, and how Monte went from training seven days a week to just three, while building more strength and muscle.
We also discuss overtraining, cortisol, carbs and muscle building, training intensity, reverse dieting, and how Monte worked his way up to eating over four pounds of meat a day without gaining fat.
If you’re a bodybuilder, lifter, or anyone questioning whether the “clean” diet is actually helping you, this conversation is for you.
