Building Your Mind & Body with Mike Rosa of Anabolic Aliens | The MGTOW Academy Show Season 3 Premiere

Hey everybody it’s MGTOW Academy, and I got the privilege of having Mike Rosa from Anabolic Aliens on my show to help kick off Season 3! We discussed the topic of building your mind and body, how they go together, how you can get started with exercise, actionable steps to build your mind and body, plus a Q&A for the Anabolic Aliens Family!

I have personally used Mike’s videos for almost 3 years at this point, and it’s been an honor to be able to interview him. We both hope that you can derive some value from this podcast :)
