I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Mark Carroll, one of the top online coaches in the world with thousands of people worldwide completing his programs. He also coaches top WBFF World Champions and bikini athletes. 

In this episode, we discuss training, nutrition, life, business, mindset and more! Mark is someone I have followed for an incredibly long time and learnt so much from, both through social media and this conversation, this is jam-packed and I know you will love it: 

We cover: 

  • How Mark first started in the fitness industry as a PT and how he evolved himself and his business to coach world champion bikini athletes 
  • His approach to training and nutrition and how this can be applied to your own goals and lifestyle. 
  • The importance of strength training for men and women.
  • How he has his bikini athletes lifting heavy (almost 2-3x their body weight!) 
  • How to find your TDEE and individual calorie limit 
  • Why we shouldn’t rely just on willpower to achieve our goals.
