That's right folks, two weeks have passed and it's yet again time to head into the world of bodybuilding and fitness in the fifth episode of Bringing Awesome Back Goes Radio. As usual, I've invited a guest to join me in this training-oriented podcast, and this time it's none other than the most seasoned Rookie in the business - Rookie Westin. Besides being an athlete, he's also the co-creator of the competitive event called Fitness Five - an event that has lead many of the regular gym goers onto a competitive path. Rookie's accomplishments on the Athletic Fitness scene, as well as his persistent track record, has made him into a well-known profile within the training and fitness industry.
