Layne was actually my first ever science-based coach! He coached me to a Canadian national gold medal in natural bodybuilding and he’s the person who convinced me that you don’t actually need to “eat clean” to get shredded as long as you hit your macros, that cutting water before a bodybuilding competition is dangerous and ineffective, and that you can combine powerlifting and bodybuilding successfully. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that everything I know about training and nutrition can be traced back to Layne Norton. Layne is himself, an absolute monster. He’s both a professional natural bodybuilder AND a world-class powerlifter. He won US nationals twice and even took home a gold medal at Worlds for his 668 lb squat, at 205 lbs bodyweight. He also does a lot of myth busting about nutrition and training on popular podcasts and in the media. This is the leg day workout we did together while he was visiting Ontario, Canada! ------------------------------- About me: I’m a Canadian natural pro bodybuilder and internationally-qualified powerlifter with a BSc in biochemistry/chemistry and a passion for science. I’ve been training for 12 years drug-free. I’m 5’5 and fluctuate between 160 lbs (lean) and 180 lbs (bulked). ------------------------------- Disclaimers: Jeff Nippard is not a doctor or a medical professional.
