Q&A 3/12/18

My question is about feeling the muscle vs perfect awareness and execution, mean I know feeling the muscle doesn’t always mean it working and also on execution when we do it lock it down, control, increase moment arms and so on, so it means muscles are working, what are your thoughts this and which is better to go by when owing the weight and better execution?

What is the difference between strength training and hypertrophy training in programming?

When do you suggest to increase food in offseason, I am 88kg the last 2 weeks but my log book is progressing even by small increments each week. Previous years I was obsessed with te number on scale and I became sloppy early in my offseason. So what variables you assess prior to further food increase.

I was wondering how you pick an exercice based on muscle function ?

Example:
As Lats have a fonction in hum351rus Extension AND Adduction, how would you select an exercice like a pulldown.
-You can go both u201cwideu201d grip and pronated with the main action being adduction, or:
-Neutral, closer grip, with Extension being the main action.

What would be the reasoning / concepts for selecting one over another ?

Same thing could apply to hamstrings, hip Extension / knee flexion, reasoning between choosing a RDL variation or Leg Curl?

Wanted to ask whether can i adapt to 2 a day training like Chest in the morning and back in the noon and complete rest next day or active rest, as my body responds to rest very well as because i’m a diabetic i need to workout everyday so what would you suggest?

If consuming intra-workout carbs and having dinner about 30 minutes or so after, what would be a good post workout meal? What kinds of foods would you recommend? Since I am already consuming carbs, would something like cereal right after the gym be a good idea? Then a full dinner about an hour after that?

How long after a workout would you limit your fat consumption?

What are your thoughts on curcumin? What time of the day would you take it?

If following a split that is back/delts, legs, chest/arms, rest, back/ham, delts, chest/arms. Would you vary the exercises from the first back or chest day to the 2nd one after the one day off? Or a more general question, if doing PPL, rest, would your push push legs day differ during one week?
