Ep. #465: Q&A: Bro Splits for Muscle Growth, Weightlifting Belts, How Long to Stay in a Calorie Deficit, and More!

I’ve churned through over 150,000 emails, social media comments and messages, and blog comments in the last 6 years.

And that means I’ve fielded a ton of questions.

As you can imagine, some questions pop up more often than others, and I thought it might be helpful to take a little time every month to choose a few and record and share my answers.

So, in this round, I answer the following four questions:

1. Are bro splits optimal for muscle growth?
2. Should you use a weightlifting belt?
3. How long should you remain in a calorie deficit?
4. Is intermittent fasting better for retaining muscle than traditional dieting when cutting?

If you have a question you’d like me to answer, leave a comment below or if you want a faster response, send an email to mike@muscleforlife.com.
