Do you think doing activations for a muscle throughout the day would help improve mind muscle connection or that internal focus?

Completely agree with what you suggested for contest prep. of a guy with 25% BF.
I am sorry for again specific question. You told that at least 40 weeks to 1 year prep is necessary to reach 10% BF from 25% BF. Please suggest your approach for progression from 0 to 100. Thanks!

How to use (set up and resistance profile vise) deadlift more for back muscle contraction than Glutes and Hams? Thanks

Hi Joe, any recommendations for full body workouts? Does it matter in the order of exercise?

[video-skip-position minute=”13″ second=”21″]
Hi Joe, first of all great content thank you.

I am going to be traveling pretty soon for a 4 weeks period of time. My access to the gym will be pretty limited , once a week probably with minimal equipment ( Probably few basic hotel gym machines). Thats the most I could’ve got with my current budget.

The question is, how much muscle loss can i expect during this time frame ? Is it possible that I wont experience muscle loss at all (I dont expect to make progress during ).

How can I minimize the loss and perhaps even make use of this time? Im planning to do some training with resistance bands on days when i dont have access to gym, just to keep muscles from atrophying. Is this a good idea ? What would you do?

Hi again, a short question.

Does NEAT (walking , light physical job, being active throughout the day) has a negative effect on muscle recovery and on hypertrophy in total?

For example, lets say Ive just completed a leg workout. If right after the workout I will go to work that will include light walking, light stairs climbing perhaps, light physical work, will it interfere negatively with recovery? And if yes then how big is impact? Or perhaps it is the opposite and it can actually improve the recovery?

Calf questions-
What would you suggest for limited ROM plantar flexion.
And my contractions feel at the lower part of my calf not much contraction feeling up high, does this matter if so what would you suggest.
And sometimes I even feel tibialis during calf training

Can you please explain pros and cons of bottom loaded rack pull (bands below feets). Thanks!

Clarification question on exercise selection (in a sense) – for exercises where it’s most difficult in a shortened position vs most difficult in lengthened/mid range, the short range has less output but “better” in the sense of really learning the mind muscle connection, right? While the lengthened/mid range would be more-so then opposite?

Do you suggest any exercises to emphasise the serrated anterior? If so what exercises and suggested cues would you give?

Is it alright to take a glucose disposal agent like ALA or Berberine intra-workout? I am taking 2grams of ALA intra-workout with 10grams of Creatine, 5 grams of Taurine, 1 gram of pink Himalayan salt and 100grams of carbs at the moment. My pre-workout meal is very high in carbs too(around 100grams). My thought was that the insulin mimicking effects of ALA would help transport the carbs and other nutrients to the muscle creating more of an anabolic environment when working out.

The other question I had is how many grams of carbs is recommend per gram of ALA? And how many minutes after ingesting ALA does it take for the insulin mimicking effects to occur?

I observed multiple times that you rate your exercise execution out of 10. I also started rating my exercise execution along with trackings my weights. Can you explain your criteria for 10/10 exercise execution! Thanks

As a physique competitor focused lifter (from the UK!) I have always trained with very high volume – up to 8 exercises per body part (3/4 sets) twice a week.

From watching a lot of yours and Jordan Peters videos I am focused a lot more on execution and lowering volume; however I am struggling with the mental detachment from high volume from years of training this way & generally enjoying training everyday spending 1.5-2 hours in the gym. My question is two fold:

– Can I get away without a rest day on a PPL split if my recovery is good (anabolics / diet on point / other factors fairly tight); and

– Can I keep additional volume in my sessions, knowing this is likely not generating muscle growth signal, but to keep up the calorie burn as a man that hates cardio?

I tried to search video on execution of Vacuum, execution cues for Vacuum exercise for Abs!

For rear delts – I’ve heard you mention that a bit of scap. movement is okay at the end of a a ROM, but does it make any mechanical difference if you were to start in protection vs retraction? Just noticed personally that retraction feels a lot better in general
