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 talk about the books I read in June, give a detailed look at Chris Bumstead's training and diet, and answer questions from listeners. Sit back, relax, and enjoy! Books I read in June: Ultimate Conditioning for Martial Arts – Loren Landow Sparring Partners – John Grisham How to Become a Straight-A Student – Cal Newport Getting Things Done – David Allen Questions on the show: I am currently in a fat loss phase and trying to balance being patient while making good progress. Do you have a general rule for determining the appropriate rate of weight loss? I know you are a big UFC fan. Who are your top 3 MMA fighters of all time? Is it possible to get as strong as possible training by yourself? The reason I ask is, that I workout in my basement and don’t have anyone to spot me. How do I convince my girlfriend to stop doing so much cardio and start lifting weights? Hey Kyle, I am curious about the difference between active rest and deload weeks? For someone trying to gain muscle how would you manipulate macros during this time?

In this episode, I talk about fitness being more than what we do in the gym and answer listener questions. Questions on the show: I have heard you talk about double progression in the past. Can you explain how it works again? Hey Kyle, I have a question for you. Is it better to take a multivitamin or just take individual vitamins/minerals you might be low in? I know regular stretching has fallen out of favor in recent years, but should we be stretching? This is a two-part question. One, is it normal during a fat loss phase to lose strength with certain muscle groups but gain strength in other muscle groups/areas? Two, how do you deal with a client that wants to lose weight but is brainwashed to think they need to eat a 1200-calorie diet or less to lose weight and don’t believe you when you say you need to eat more? If you had to start over from scratch, and start Hunt Fitness today, how would you do it?

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? Q4: Hey Kyle, what is your take on Boron supplementation for free testosterone increase and hypertrophy? I've been taking 12mg every night. Q5: What are some signs of a bad training program?

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?

In this episode, Derek and I answer questions from listeners. Questions on the show: Hey Kyle, I love the podcasts with Derek. Can you ask him how he got started with bodybuilding and powerlifting? What are your thoughts on tempo training? Is it an effective way to train or a waste of time? When is the best time to do cardio? I know there is some debate on this topic, and I am curious what your opinion is? When you watch a lot of pro bodybuilders train, they often use partial ranges of motion. Why is that? How do you handle excuses from clients as a coach? I'm a new personal trainer and trying to balance being tough but understanding.
