Be Real: Bodybuilding with Jeremy Potvin

In this in depth interview with IFBB Pro Jeremy Potvin and Better Bodies CEO Michael Johansson they dive into what makes Jeremy tick, why he got into bodybuilding, what aspects he enjoys about training and what he wants to convey to people following his journey.

How is your approach to training?

I approach everything with purpose. When it comes to weight training, I live by intensity. Giving everything you got and then some and then getting out of the gym and on to the next task.

While visiting the Better Bodies headquarters at destination, Jeremy along with Jen Ronzitti, Priscilla Aquilla and Shane and Irina Post give new product feedback to the Swedish design team in Stockholm, visit the gun range, barbecue and take the corvette out for a quick spin to feel all the horsepower since Jeremy is a car fanatic.

A take home message from Jeremy is to do everything with purpose and to not lose yourself. Always be yourself!
