Justin Harris

www.MuscleMentor.net

Longtime readers of elitefts.com will be familiar with the name Justin Harris. In an industry of bodybuilding contest prep gurus, Harris stood out as the brightest, most innovative and result-producing of the muscle-building/fat-shredding experts. Among one of his early notable successes was preparing the thick-skinned, junk food-addicted, recently-retired powerlifter Dave Tate down to impressive single-digit body fat levels, when no one would have guessed such a thing was possible. After a five-year hiatus from the gym, (in which he accomplished a masters degree in physics), Harris has returned to elitefts.com to share cutting-edge nutrition and training information with our readership.
