Q&A: Substitutions for Bench, Clean Eating, Training Calves, Training Spread
Description
Live Q&A: Ask me anything!
Answered here:
-“Any replacement for the barbell bench press? As much as I like it, it hurts my right shoulder. I don’t ego lift, and my bench is relatively weak but it seems like every time after benching my right shoulder is hurting. Want to avoid a more serious injury.”
-“If losing fat is all about calories in and out, why do some lifters eat a ton of clean calories and claim eating more “clean food” helps you to burn more fat? Like for example eating 6 oz chicken breast, greens, rice 4 times a day.”
-“To grow my calves and make them bigger should I be doing 400 pound calf raises eight reps three sets or should I be doing 200 pounds for 12 reps with 4/5 sets?”
-“What's the difference in training load and adaptation with a set of exercises in a workout, vs the same volume spread throughout the day? For example, say I do 4x10 sets of pullups in 8 minutes vs 4 sets of 10 every hour.”
