Want some help building your best body ever? Here are 5 ways I can assist whenever you’re ready, including free fitness plans, coaching, books, and more: mikematthews.co/yt
Is working out with machines enough or do you need free weights?
How do you deal with accumulated fatigue? Is the war on seed oil justified?
What's the best espresso machine for your morning kickstart?
These are just a handful of the questions I’m answering in this Q&A episode.
As always, these questions come directly from my Instagram followers, who take advantage of my weekly Q&As in my stories. If you have a burning question, follow me on Instagram (@muscleforlifefitness) and keep an eye out for these Q&A opportunities. Your question might just make it into a podcast episode!
If you like this type of episode, let me know. Send me an email (mike@muscleforlife.com) or direct message me on Instagram. And if you don’t like it, let me know that too or how you think it could be better.
