Team3DMJ | 3DMJ Podcast #250: Q&A Session 25 @Team3DMJ | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 30 minutes ago.
Andrea, Brian, and Jeff conduct an audience-supplied Q and A session. Topics include maximizing muscle growth, how to track volume, what you can do if you’re afraid of gaining body fat after your competitive season, and a lot more.
Is there a way to tell if you’re maximizing the rate you can build muscle or if you’re putting on muscle slower than you could? How should you count volume from compound exercises? How should you count volume from myo-rep sets? Does one set of myo-reps equal one traditional set? Why might your weekly volume (in terms of sets per week) actually go *down* over your lifting career? How can you balance lifting with other forms of physical activity like running, cycling, basketball, and tennis?
The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
