Questions on the show:

Q1: Back in the day, bodybuilders in the magazines used to promote using intensity techniques like drop sets, forced reps, super sets, etc., as the key to making progress. But people don’t talk about them as much anymore. Are there benefits to using them or not?

Q2: I find I am always hungry, which leads to snacking between meals. Do you have any tips to help prevent me from feeling like I’m starving all the time lol?

Q3: I have been in a training rut for a while and can’t seem to progressive overload my training anymore. Should I increase volume or intensity?

Q4: I’m a powerlifter but want to improve my chest size. What exercises, in addition to bench press, should I include in my program?

Q5: When do you recommend doing cardio for fat loss?

In episode 375 of the Absolute Strength podcast, I talk about Jon Jones's return to the UFC, Arnold Classic memories, and answer questions from listeners.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy! 

 

Questions on the show:  

Q1: Thoughts on the 10,000-calorie challenge? Is it worth trying once?

Q2: What is the correlation between veins and body fat? For example, I don't have well-defined abs, but my stomach veins (and veins all over my body) are visible. Does vascularity always equate to low body fat? 

Q3: I'm sure you saw the new erythritol study that just came out. What are your thoughts on it, and will it change your consumption? 

Q4: How do you think A.I will change the fitness industry? 

Q5: In the last episode, you talked about taking a step back in your training when life gets busy. As a powerlifter, how little can you do and still make progress?

Feb 27, 2023

In episode 374 of the Absolute Strength Podcast, I discuss stress's role in our training. Stress is a topic I talk about with clients quite a bit. It's a personal topic, so it has better context in a one-on-one situation. But, collectively, I think stress's role in our training needs more attention. When creating programs, manipulating the training variables like volume, frequency, intensity, etc., is pretty straightforward in a vacuum. But life is rarely that clean. However, people tend to program like it is. Unfortunately, we are not all living in a Bulgarian Olympic lifting facility from the 1980s. When a bunch of outside stress gets stacked on each other, it will impact your training. I also answer questions on daily activity impacting performance, muscle imbalances stemming from an injury, and glute training for powerlifting. Sit back, relax, and enjoy! 

 

Questions on the show:

Q1: I work an active job, so I usually take 14-20 thousand steps per day. What kind of effect does that have on muscle gain and strength? Is there a point where doing too many steps will hinder my progress?

Q2: I tore my ACL and meniscus a few years back. I no longer have knee pain, but my right hamstring is still much weaker and cramps up easily. I'm worried RDLs and good mornings will just get taken over by my stronger leg. Do you have any advice?

Q3: I don't hear you talk about glute training much. Do you train your glutes? If so, what exercises do you think carry over the most for powerlifting?

We are back! In episode 373 of the Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I answer questions from listeners. 

I appreciate everyone reaching out and wondering when the next episode was coming. I've had a crazy beginning to 2023, but I'm excited to get back to recording shows. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. 

 

Questions on the show:  

Q1: What are realistic expectations for a natural who has been lifting for five years? Have I already maxed out my progress?

Q2: Are there any benefits to sweating more during cardio? I see people wearing pants and sweatshirts while doing cardio at the gym, but it doesn't make sense to me.

Q3: How do you recommend balancing training hard to make progress while avoiding injury and burnout? Every time I get on a roll, something comes up.

Q4: What does your back training look like? Every time you post a pullup video, your back looks jacked!

Q5: My flexibility is terrible, but I hate stretching. Is there anything else I can do to improve my flexibility?

Q 6: Importance of rest days. Necessary or nah?

Q 7: I play basketball every Monday with some of my old college buddies and train powerlifting three days a week full body. I need help planning around basketball without affecting my training. How would you plan around something like that?

Q 8: What are your thoughts on carb cycling to lose weight while minimizing muscle/strength loss?

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

 

Hire Kyle as your coach: http://www.kylehuntfitness.com/services/

Questions on the show:

  1. My time for training is extremely limited. Can I build a decent physique on three or four workouts a week for 30 minutes? What exercises do you recommend, and how many sets of each? 
  2. What exercises do you recommend for rear delts? I don't actually feel most rear delt exercises in the rear delt.
  3. What are your thoughts on the pre-exhaust style of training? Is there any benefit to including it? 
  4. How can you tell if you are doing enough or too much volume? 
  5. With the goal of always beating the logbook, does it count if you just improve RPE? For example, if you do 3 x 10 at 10 rpe one week, and the next, do 3 x 10 at 8 rpe. Is that progress?
  6. What is your favorite form of cardio for fat loss?

In this episode, I recap UFC 280 and answer questions submitted by listeners. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. 

 

Questions on the show:

Q1: How do you avoid comparing yourself to others on social media? I sometimes find myself seeing other people’s progress and getting discouraged. 

Q2: What is more important for strength, intensity, or volume? I guess what I am asking is, what increases strength more, top sets or back-off volume work? 

Q3: Hey Kyle, I have a teenage son who is getting into lifting. I think I know the answer, but does weightlifting reduce or stunt height and stop growth?

Q4: What can you use other than the scale to track fat loss?

Q5: Are there any benefits to naturally sweetened products? 

Q6: Can you discuss the pros and cons of a bro split versus a push/pull/legs routine?

In this episode, I answer questions from listeners. 

Questions on the show:

Q 1: My question is, how do you know when is a good time to implement a refeed day or a cheat meal? I've been very consistent with my diet for over a month. I'm addicted to food and am afraid I'll mess up my results if I do a cheat meal or refeed day. Any advice on how to go about this?

Q2: I have been a huge fan of the podcast for years and always love your Q and As. I know you have 3 children, so my question for you is, do you have any advice on training while pregnant/postpartum?

Q3: I know everyone hates Bulgarian Split Squats, but I just can't get myself to do them. What are some other good single-leg exercises I can try?

Q4: Are there any benefits to muscle scraping as a recovery method? 

Q5: Hey Kyle, I have my first powerlifting meet next weekend, and I am pretty nervous. Do you have any advice for me?

In this episode, I talk about if you can be too obsessed with fitness and answer questions submitted by listeners. 

 

Questions:

Q 1: When trying to build muscle, how often should you change workout programs, exercises, etc.? 

Q2: Is there any application for using BFR training for powerlifting accessories? 

Q3: Hey Kyle, I want to get an exercise bike for my house. Do you have any recommendations? 

Q4: Is it more important to do the programmed number of reps during a set or end at the right RPE/RIR? For example, if the weight is too light, should you stop at six or do 9 or 10 if you can at the prescribed RPE? 

Q5: When is the best time to do mobility work? Is it before or after the workout? I have heard both recommended. 

Q6: Are there any benefits to wearing a mouth guard when lifting?

Questions:

 Q1: In the last podcast, you talked about the best barbell to buy. However, do you have a recommendation for a women’s barbell? 

Q2: Hey Kyle, I know spot reduction is not really possible, but do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of my love handles? 

Q3: What is the best bare minimum warm-up that takes the least amount of time? I only have 30-40 minutes to work out, so I don’t want to waste a lot of time warming up. For context, I am a powerlifter. 

Q4: Hi Kyle, I have a wedding in two months, and I want to lose weight as fast as I can. Is there any special protocol for fast weight loss? 

Q5: What are the most common form issues on the big three, and how do you correct them?

In this episode, Derek and I answer questions about learning, our next powerlifting meet, selecting the right barbell for your home gym, why you are not losing weight, and more. 

 

Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

 

Questions on the show:

Q1: Where do you, personally, go to keep up with studies regarding strength and nutrition? I.e., do you subscribe to MASS, view PubMed periodically, or just have a library of info in your brain? Also, when are YOU competing in PL again? 

Q2: Hey Kyle, I want a nice barbell for my home gym. What are some things to look for when picking out the right one? 

Q3: If you are cutting and feel exhausted, is it okay to let yourself rest one day a week without any physical activities, including even a long walk? If I am lazy all day, will it affect the process of my cut? 

Q4: Why am I losing weight so slowly? I am three weeks into my cut and hitting 10,000 or more steps daily. I am doing 60mins of heavy weight training with 30 to 40 mins of cardio five days a week. I’m eating around 2000 calories. 

Q5: You've coached a lot of clients over the years. What is the most valuable lesson you have learned from a client?

In this episode, I answer questions about leg drive in the bench press, non-complete protein sources, popular fad diets, and more. 

Questions on the show:

1: Hello, sir! My question to you for the podcast is, how do I know I am getting enough leg drive to support either a flat bench or an incline bench press with a barbell?

2: I had a question about something that came up on your podcast. You were talking about all the ways to hit your daily protein intake, but my question is, should most of your protein sources come from a complete protein? Is that ok if you got 85% from complete proteins and 15 from other sources like nuts, beans, or whatnot?

3: Hey Kyle, I am 36 years old and a recreational powerlifter. My question is, do you like it is too old for me to start competing if I want to be competitive? 

4: Is there ever a time to train hard just to push yourself mentally? 

5: Can you talk about the pros and cons of some of the popular fad diets?

In this episode, I tell a bizarre story and answer five questions from listeners. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. 

Questions on the show:

1: Hi Kyle, I’m going on vacation in a few weeks, and during I’ll have access to a gym but, I probably won’t have access to my normal implements (swiss bar, trap bar, landmine, etc.). What is the best way to approach training in a situation like this?

2: Hey Kyle, I have a question for you. I love taking pre-workout supplements and energy drinks, but some people say they are bad for you. What do you think?

3: What do you think has made the biggest impact on improving your bench press? 

4: In a recent episode, you briefly mentioned that when training your biceps you try to have multiple elbow positions. Can you explain that more? 

5: Hey Kyle, I graduated college this past May, and I'm trying to figure out my next step. I love fitness and want to make a career of it. But, I don’t know if I want to go back to school for Physical Therapy, go the strength and conditioning route, or just continue personal training. Do you have any advice for me?

In this episode, I answer questions from the newsletter. 

 

Questions on the show:

Q1: How do you find the appropriate weekly volume for a muscle group? I know there is a certain usual range, somewhere between 10 and 20 sets per week, but how do you find this? Do you just start with 10 and work your way up until you see the most change? How many weeks should I try a certain volume to see if it works or not?

Q2: What is the best way to combine running with lifting weights? 

Q3: Why do calories and macros not always line up on labels and in food trackers?

In this episode, I answer questions from my newsletter. 

Questions on the show:

Q#1:  I have been lifting consistently for five years. I listen to your podcast and others for advice on nutrition and weight lifting. However, all the information is for the young lifter. I am 50 years old. I would like to hear advice on how to make progress as an older lifter. Older lifters have some limitations that younger lifters don’t. Thanks.

Q#2: Do you think diet culture history could have been different if we didn't use the word "fat" for both dietary and body fat?

Q#3: How should we approach vacations with our fitness goals? Should we continue to be aware of our macros/find ways to train? Or should we give ourselves a diet and training break on these occasions? 

Q#4: Have you ever considered starting your own supplement company?

Q#5: You have probably answered this in the past, but should you have lower calories on rest days? Could not doing this potentially stall progress?
