When you increase volume for prep will you still do as many rehearsal/feeder sets leading up to your first rep? Also would you consider these “pre working sets” an increase in volume?

Do you believe only very advanced lifters work with one working set per exercise? I noticed a lot of people steer away from HIT training because the average person can’t produce enough “intensity” in their set and would require more (also stated by Bpak)

hi Joe I’m about to start my first ever prep for the show/photoshoot can you please suggest me DO’S and DON’T s of cutting/shredded. For example what to eat/take right before stepping on the stage

Do you take every “working set” to failure?
I noticed if I take my first exercise set to failure my proceeding exercises load is reduced substantially. Would you recommend not taking first exercise to failure or just continue with lighter loads on the next exercises?

Sorry last question, what are your general “go to’s” for someone with anterior pelvic tilt.
Typically I thought it’d be something like strengthen hammies and core
Soft tissue release hip flexors and erectors

Congrats to you and your wife on the new addition! I’m scared in advance for anyone who tries to date your daughter.

My left shoulder is in a complete state of lunch meat (labral tear and torn rotator cuff). Anything using a barbell (deads, squats, bench -obviously) is out. I need to keep my left arm as stable/immobile as possible for a little bit. How often can I train legs using leg ext., leg press, seated leg curl, walking lunges (and any other suggestions you have).

My second question/whining is I spent the better part of year bringing up my back, shoulders and triceps. And now I feel like it’s all going to go to shit while I recover. How would you suggest training my right arm and right side while my left shoulder heals? I’m worried about whacked out symmetry. I’m a woman if it matters in relation to doing a bit more volume. Do you believe contralateral exchange could help by training my right side harder while my left one heals?
Thanks again for what you’re putting into the world.

I am 29 year old male. In 2014 I found out I had Testicular Cancer, had one removed, no Chemo/Radiation (thank god!).

I had my test levels checked a while ago and they were within “normal limits”…

I “look” like I lift and am happy with my progress, etc – but I can’t help but feel like I am at a disadvantage (to myself) in terms of progress I should/could be making.

Questions:
I am coming off a fat loss phase now (slow 16) weeks, would testing my levels NOW not be the ideal time for accurate levels?

If needed….TRT – best direction in finding a Trusted DR/Resource? Some that I have found – seem very “salesy”…

Do you think there is a significant difference in training morning vs afternoon vs night time? I’ve heard that testosterone levels are highest in the morning, but you’re typically stronger at night etc. Your thoughts on when you think the best time to train in an ideal world would be much appreciated.

If you wanted to increase volume as your way of getting into a calorie deficit for prep, how would you structure it? Same body part twice a day or more frequency spread out over the week?
If the latter how would you avoid over training?

What are your thoughts on elevating the ball of your foot for a stiff leg deadlift.
Also supinated grip for dead’s as opposed to pronated?

When you have a new client, what assessments will you run through with them to gather the appropriate information to write them a program and progress forward.
