| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Ice Cream for PR's podcast. My name is Jeff Nippard and with me as always today is my co-host Robin. |
| 0:11.5 | Hello. And today we have a very special guest with us. His name is Peter Fitchin. Welcome to the show Peter. |
| 0:18.1 | Hi. Thanks for having me. I'm glad to be here. Yeah, it's a pleasure. It's a |
| 0:22.5 | pleasure to have you. I've been a big fan of your work now for a while, and most recently you really |
| 0:26.9 | caught my attention with your piece in Alan Ergon's research review on pre-contest natural |
| 0:32.4 | bodybuilding contest preparation. So maybe you can just tell us a little bit about you, your training background, |
| 0:39.0 | and your academic background. You've got a pretty impressive resume for both. So why don't you |
| 0:44.2 | go ahead and share that with us? Yeah. So I guess I'll start with my training background, I guess. |
| 0:50.3 | You know, I got into lifting weights. I was, you know, probably about a sophomore in high school. |

| 1:42.9 | You know, I competed again when I was 20 and again again when I was 22, and again when I was 26. |
| 1:47.2 | And that, when I was 26, I won the overall at, that was in 2012, I won the overall at the NGA Titan Classic in Des Moines and won my natural pro card. |
| 1:58.6 | You know, and I'm currently getting ready as long as all goes well for my first pro |
