Today I’m talking to Bobby Maximus, and it’s a fitness dream of mine. If you’ve never heard of Bobby, you should know he was one of the original fitness influencers online. He’s a former professional fighter and appeared on The Ultimate Fighter twice with more than a decade in between those stints, and we talk about those appearances in this episode. He’s a consultant to militaries and pro athletes. You name it, this guy has done it. We talk about his insane career, why he works out three times a day, and we also bust some pros and cons of that approach and fitness in general.
