Timestamps:
00:00:28 - Do you like the idea of one main cue for each lift or do you use multiple cues when coaching a lift?
00:02:17 - I’m seeing so many elite natural bodybuilders using unexpectedly light weights for exercises. Seemingly to increase mind muscle connection?
00:07:16 - Bryan, with this brosplit, how many warm-up sets are you performing per exercise? Also, what are the rest periods between sets?
00:09:41 - I was training overhead tricep extension single arm and with EZ bar high volume high frequency. Now I have a tear of rear delt (rotator cuff) pain and can’t do anything overhead pressing without pain.
00:11:57 - Most recent update with TRT please? Impacts on all aspects of life and fitness?
00:16:27 - Heard Dorian discussing weed on the recent Huberman pod. Did you listen? Thoughts?
00:20:15 - You mentioned you talked about your recent experiments with Glucose monitoring on a recent pod. As someone in the pre-diabetic range, I’m curious what you learned about yourself?
00:26:51 - Is there a possibility of overtraining with cardio as well?
00:28:54 - Any update on Aaron’s move to the states?
00:32:54 - What do you think of having a calorie range with minimums for each macro?
00:34:39 - Who are some other people in the fitness space that you really like?
00:37:17 - Can you provide some good cues to take the traps out of delt movements?
00:38:53 - Do you like high or low reps with shoulder movements for clients?
00:40:31 - Do you track calories? I just wanna be jacked but feels like tracking is so neurotic.
00:41:29 - How important are warm-up sets? There’s a big push from some influencers saying they are a waste of time.
00:45:01 - What’s the biggest thing each of you have changed your mind on in the last year?
00:50:37 - Any upper back specific training principles? Lats seem to take over the majority of the time.
00:54:19 - How would you guys design a powerbuilding program?
00:57:29 - What’s a good swap for seated/lying leg curl to hit the short head of hams? Leg machines suck at my gym.
01:00:04 - When I do low-rep work, I sometimes don’t feel my muscles at all. People say the pump doesn’t matter if weight is being moved from A to B. What’s your take on this?
01:03:13 - How do you go about progressing a pyramid set strategy?
01:06:37 - I’ve plateaued on leg extensions (8 reps). Tried more sets, less sets and can’t seem to break thru. Should I try a higher rep range?
01:10:23 - Getting Pregnant, pregnancy, post-kids with children. What fitness and nutrition advice do you have?
