Is there any specific guidelines for using accommodating resistance via bands? Can it be used too much or with too many exercises? Is it better to cycle training with them or since it provides better profiles, it should be used all the time?

quick one on your Calformation program. Mindful that we can only add so many lbs of tissue per month, does the program also include suggested programming for all other body parts (i.e. Mon = Calves & Quads, Tues = Calves & Push, Wed = Pull & rest calves etc.), or does it leave you free to program around the Calf program as we wish.
Just conscious that if I’m focussing on max calf growth for 8 weeks, I don’t want to take away from that in someway by ‘overtraining’ other body parts at the same time.
I guess just put everything else on ‘maintenance mode’ during the program?

question on wrist angle during arm work. I don’t have any problem ‘feeling’ my biceps/triceps, this is more from a joint safety/longevity perspective.
(i) when doing any supinated bicep curl, is it better to have the wrist neutral or ‘broken’ (bent back slightly).
(ii) when doing a hammer-type curl, shoud the wrist be bent ‘upwards’ (i.e. thumb towards your forearm), or kept neutral.
(iii) when doing tricep extensions (almost always cable-crossover for me as per your videos), should the wrists be neutral or pointing in any other direction (i.e. thumb towards your forearm or thumb away from your forearm).
Thanks, Jon

First Q: I love two-a-days like you do. Assuming recovery is high, what, if anything, do you personally change from your first session of the day to the second? Exercise selections? Rep range? Different or same muscle group? etc. Again, this is assuming recovery is high, like when you talk about how you did 2-a-days every day for weeks.
2nd: Just recently got to a gym that has multiple pieces from them. They’re incredible. I want to be able to fully utilize them though. Do you have any overall advice when using them as far as where to load? Or, since general advice might be too hard or take long to explain since each piece would be different from muscle to muscle, do you have any suggestions on where to learn about each muscles strength curves? Having trouble finding info from credible people/sites. Like what length muscles are strongest and can produce most force, what range you should exhaust first. Just trying to maximize the potential and efficiency with each lift. Feel free to explain yourself, but if that will take too long then I’d love some direction on where to look if you’ve got any. Thanks, coach, as always

Just of curiosity; how should training be during PCT to hold on as much muscle as possible?

Any advice for diet and training with shift work. I end up working nights for 4 days once a month and it just seems to set me back.
Cheers

I am a national level athlete whos been dealing with a messed up shoulder for over 10 years. I have learned to train around it but I would love some feedback from an expert as to what exercises to do and to avoid! Have not done actual BB or DB press (chest and shoulders) in over 5 years besides doing machine work with tons of different fly variations. Press movements really hurt the AC joint and DB press feels VERY unstable as it feels my shoulder could dislocate again.
My chest has been a weak body part and this year after winning my class at the Canadian nationals the main feed back was to bring up my chest since its a bit “shallow”.
MRI results came back with evidence for a tear involving the posterior labrum. There are 2 posterior para labral cysts that partially fill with gadolinium. There’s also focal cartilage loss along the posterior and inferior margin of the glenoid fossa with minimal amount of underlying subchondral cyst formation involving the posterior and inferior aspect of the glenoid fossa.

Could I ask for your advice, I have a scoliosis, curving at top and bottom. My right shoulder tends to sit roughly 2 inches lower than the left, and both shoulders tend to round forwards. Do you have any top tips in ways I could correct this and bring my shoulders back into correct/better position.

Does training legs twice a week split into hams/quads slow down building muscle gain? The workouts consist of 30 sets each. I ask this because you mentioned that when you train “hard” once a week is ok. Maybe i am overthinking it i do not know. I just want some advice and opinion on this from you.

I am wondering the best way to train around Sciatica? Also your thoughts on deadlifts with Sciatica, deadlifts and widening / thickening of waist and best alternatives to Deadlifts (as I believe they are king of Glute Builders).

What are you thoughts on rowing variations for rear delts as opposed to reverse flys. Thanks

question on biceps….Since joining, single arm dumbbell preacher curls have become a staple in my training split & I really do love them. However, my arms are my lagging body part especially my biceps, so I’m working hard to train them as much as I can recover from them. Here’s the question…….Do I need a variation to train the outer biceps such as hammer curls, or is the dumbbell preacher curl all I need to grown my baby biceps moreso?

Which it’s the best protocol to run the femguard supplement? In order to help with leaning the legs like you said in a video

happy holidays to you and the family. My question is about selecting movements then running them into the ground. After the timeline of progressing them as much as possible, what’s the step after that? Do you select new movements based weak points, or just change variables to progress in a different direction (like freq./volume/etc)?

Currently doing Push/Pull/Legs/Push/Pull/Legs/Rest. Not having any dramas with that but want to know if it is the most effective use of my time. I can train every day and even twice a day sometimes. My understanding is that Push,Pull,Legs for lack of a better work deprioritises Shoulders and Arms over the rest which are my two strongest points so it seems suitable in that way. Would you recommend sticking to this or a different kind of split, and if so throw some ideas at me. Very grateful for your time.

A coach I worked with based his training on High Intensity as well with 4 sec negative count. 1st and 2nd set were warm up sets only hitting 3 reps. Final set was to failure but ideally hitting failure around 3-5 reps. I would add half reps, forced reps to hit failure then eventually later in the program every exercise he allowed me to add one dropset. I enjoyed the program, learning and very different from what I was use too. I maintained my strength during my cut for my physique show but every exercise was 1 set only 3-5 reps. Didn’t matter what muscle group I was working on. The idea was once I hit failure my muscles will think I need more energy and will no longer be anabolic (no muscle building).
Sorry not really a question but more of a critique, what are your thoughts on this?
