Radio Episode #4: Joaquim Nilsson | Bodybuilding Athlete

That's right folks, two weeks have passed and it's yet again time for another episode of Bringing Awesome Back Goes Radio! This time the microphone is not carried much further than 300 meters from my apartment, all the way to my neighbor Joaquim Nilsson, a bodybuilding athlete with a big heart that matches his equally big body. Joaquim is a family man, a husband as well as father of three, who has successfully competed in both Decembercupen as well as Luciapokalen. His kind and giving attitude has made him a popular profile to turn to with questions concerning training, and his easy-going attitude towards dieting is an interesting take on how to keep a fit and healthy body. This is our chance to learn more about how the gym owner, health coach, bodybuilder and family man handles the various aspects that revolves around his daily life!
