17 Resistance band exercises you’re not doing (to build strength and muscle). Part one - ARMS

Today we are joined by a former rugby player, gym owner, paragon of authenticity, and we would be remiss if we didn’t say all-round jacked dude - Ollie Marchon.

We touched on everything from training to leadership to nutrition, with Ollie delivering some absolutely killer insights, as well as some pretty impressive takeaway messages. As ever, enjoy!
