My guest on Episode 17 is Melvin Howell. We grew up in the sport together back in the hardcore 90's Bodybuilding era and we still help each other to this day nearly 30 years later!! We talked Bodybuilding, training, prep, my upcoming Nationals strategy, and as expected some "old-school" wisdom surfaced. We were also joined by regular co-host Ryan Gant. No scripts... we just turned on the mics and go!

You’re probably tired of fitness advice that changes with the seasons. Rob Goodwin Fitness Podcast offers something different: a perspective forged over three decades of real-world experience, from the competitive stage to coaching everyday people. Rob Goodwin, an NPC bodybuilding champion, isn’t just repeating trends-he helped create them, pioneering ketogenic bodybuilding nearly a decade ago and later refining it into what he calls a hypercarnivore approach. This podcast is where that deep, often unconventional knowledge gets shared without filter. Each episode feels like a direct conversation with a master coach who has been in the trenches. You’ll hear practical discussions on effective muscle-building workouts that prioritize strength and function, high-intensity conditioning strategies that respect recovery, and no-nonsense guidance on primal nutrition that fuels performance. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or someone just starting to take your health seriously, Rob focuses on actionable systems to help you push past plateaus and truly maximize your body’s potential. It’s not about quick fixes; it’s about building a sustainable, powerful lifestyle. Tune in for honest insights that cut through the noise of the fitness industry, all grounded in decades of proven results.
