Episode Details

In this episode, Derek and I answer questions from listeners. Sit back, relax, and enjoy! 

Questions on the show: 

1: If proximity to failure is important for hypertrophy, then should we be grinding our reps out toward the end of a set? Also, why is there so much emphasis on having perfect technique? Could that be a potential barrier to progress?

2: Hey Kyle, I love the podcast. My question is, when looking for other fitness content, how can I distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources of information?

3: Have you ever dealt with body image issues? If so, what are some strategies for dealing with it and maintaining a healthy relationship with food and exercise?

4: What are the main differences between powerlifting training programs for beginners, intermediate, and advanced lifters?

5: What are some strategies for building confidence and focus before attempting heavy lifts? 

6: Other than the bench press, what is your favorite exercise? Not the best exercise, just your favorite. 

7: I know you train at a commercial gym. I am in the same boat. As a powerlifter, how can I make the most of it (no PL gym near me) and not let it affect my progress? 

8: You guys are always talking about how things come back around in fitness. Are there any old-school techniques that you think will become popular again?
