"We often seem to have forgotten how a fitness athlete or bodybuilder should train. When I created the IFBB Nordic Academy Advanced Nutrition course, it was clear to me that we needed the same evidence-based approach for strength training. Social media is flooded with different workouts, and new research constantly shifts our understanding — what is the optimal hypertrophy training?
I was annoyed that there wasn't a strength training course specifically for fitness athletes and bodybuilders — so now there is! I hope you'll join us, whether you're a coach, fitness athlete, bodybuilder, or just an enthusiast, because I promise you'll learn on this course."
