What happens when a professional bodybuilder takes a two-year break only to return stronger than ever? Join us as we highlight the inspiring Bruno Santos, who recently clinched his first ProWin and secured a formidable second-place finish in Reno. Bruno shares the secrets behind his transformative conditioning strategy that led him to outshine some of the industry's top athletes. He opens up about the relentless preparation, from a strict diet of just tilapia to navigating the challenges of competing across different countries and time zones. This episode is a powerful testament to Bruno's indomitable spirit and his unwavering focus on making it to the Olympia 2024 stage.

In an engaging conversation, Bruno reflects on the surreal journey from his pro debut in Romania to his triumphant achievements, all while maintaining a playful approach to his fitness regime. Discover how the joy of fulfilling his lifelong dream is intensified by the motivation he draws from his son, Benicio. We also touch on the camaraderie and support he found in the bodybuilding community, particularly from legends like Flex, and how overcoming language barriers has enriched his journey. As Bruno gears up for the historic 60th Mr. Olympia in Las Vegas, we celebrate his extraordinary accomplishments and the exciting milestones yet to come.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
