Armi Legge
I’ve known Armi as the evidence based fat loss guy who helps you simplify your health, fitness, and productivity.

But just recently, I heard Armi mention that he was going through a muscle building phase… and that he’s a lightweight like me 😉

So, I jumped on the opportunity to pick his brain and gain some insights into why he decided to shift his focus toward building muscle and how he’s going about achieving his muscle building goals.

This lead to a great conversation about how much more challenging it is to predict and set muscle building goals compared to fat loss goals.

We discussed the role that vanity and aesthetics plays… about Physique Frontier Podcast Episode 15: Muscle Building and Body Image with Armi Legge

I also share some insights into scale deception… and why I didn’t panic or feel guilty after seeing my weight go up 3 pounds after a day of indulgence. Unfortunately, some people would throw in the towel and beat themselves up… saying, “I blew it again!”

Aesthetic Muscle Journal April 22nd: Are BCAA’s Worth The Cost?

By on

bcaa's - are they worth it?Branched Chain Amino Acids – BCAA’s are one of those controversial supplements that people either swear by or believe they are a complete waste of money.

In today’s behind the scenes footage I share my thoughts on bcaa’s… which I haven’t used in a long time… until just recently when I decided to ‘experiment’ with them once again.

…Not sure why I suddenly feel like Bill Clinton when he told the press that he ‘experimented’ with marijuana, but didn’t inhale 😉

I’ll explain why I’m using bcaa’s again in a moment… plus share what the research reveals about branched chain amino acids…

As always, you’ll see the meals I consumed for the day and some clips from our back workout…

Aesthetic Muscle Journal April 21st: Get In The Zone Chest Workout

By on

In today’s behind the scenes footage you’ll see how I get “In The Zone” during the first exercise of our chest workout.

Physique Training is an ‘experience’ to me. I look forward to each training session with insane enthusiasm. I love every moment of the workout. I soak up every bit of every rep. I marinate in the ‘burn’ and embrace the ‘pump’. I feed off of the fear prior to a heavy lift… harnessing the adrenaline for an incredible performance.

Gym time… is ‘me’ time. It’s my serenity. It’s a time when I am completely in-tune with myself… my thoughts, my feeling, my breath, my heartbeat, and every movement.

At first glance this may seem a bit selfish… but frankly, it’s one of the most selfless acts I take part in… because I leave the gym at peace… feeling EMPOWERED! …feeling STRONG! …feeling confident… ready to give the world the very best of myself…
