In this episode, I answer questions from Instagram (@huntfitness)

 

Here are the questions:

Q1: joe_tsa – Where do you see the direction of the fitness industry going next?

Q2: ashlynbrierre – Which is easier on your knees front or back squats?

Q3: mo_a89 – Implementing controlled cardio in a powerbuilding program a good idea?

Q4: i_am_ray_wong – When should one reset their day’s macros if for example one has a a few overnight shifts throughout the week. Keep it consistent and reset macros when it’s a new day or dependent on person sleep cycle.

Q5: bee_stayfit – Are you going to train for another meet in the near future?

Q6: brandonpapp_ – When do you recommend moving up in a weight class?

Q7: nicholasjames45 – My question is about chest press form and the high arch. I see a lot of people giving people a hard time about the huge arch. What is the right form to use to get strength on your bench? My other question is when is okay to take your butt off the bench when your pressing? I saw you do it a couple times in your past videos. I do it sometimes too but I’ve been trying not too.

Q8: chrisgates14 – I got into training late — not until my late 20’s. I’ve heard people suggest that being late to the game effects the amount of progress & gains you can make in the gym (you miss the major growth period in your teens/early 20’s, testosterone levels decrease, etc). Is that true? If so, how drastically?

Q9: 8talltines – Do you think your podcast would be successful if you didn’t already have a following on another platform? Reason for my question is, I want to start a hunting podcast, but I don’t have a following on any other platform. Thank you for your input!

Q10: gijohns3 – Best way to incorporate cardio in a routine? And also where do get epic swim trunks haha

Q11: americanbeauty37 – How do you implement an 80/20 IIFYM approach to eating? More specifically do you calculate 80% of each macro or can the 80% be determined from total calories?

Q12: edwardgardner6190 – How strong are you?

Q13: yuryk0877 – What kind of mobility/warmup/stretching drills do you incorporate pre-workout (upper and lower body) and what post-workout routines do you do for better recovery after lifting?

Q14: erickmandoval – What’s your biggest problem with the fitness industry today?

Q15: corey_perfection – Did your chest get that big just from benching all these years?

Q16: wavvy.boy – Best excessive for legs and calfs.

Q17: rubenbrammer – How do you do your HIIT? If you do HIIT?

Q18: tcpower_91 – Thoughts on the Wendler 5/3/1 program?

Q19: grambi00 – Have you ever had a massage before? Sports massage? Deep tissue? If so, did you find them helpful, especially with lifting?
