The Ripped Body Podcast

"I gained 30 lbs — because I finally let myself grow.”

Andy Morgan

Today’s guest is Justin Maller — a world-class digital artist and tech founder based in New York. At 41, Justin just completed his first real bulk after years of hovering in maintenance and making no real physique progress.

We talk about what finally pushed him to commit, how he gained 30 pounds and made the biggest strength gains of his life, and why cutting back down now feels surprisingly difficult — despite having done it before.

This is a conversation about late-stage gains, body image rewiring, and what happens when you finally give yourself permission to grow.

Let’s dive in.
