[00:00:00] Good day, that is Muscle for Life and I’m Mike Matthews. Thanks for becoming a member of me at this time for an additional Q& A episode the place I reply a bunch of questions that folks have requested me over on Instagram. If you wish to ask me questions, go to Instagram, observe me at muscle for all times health, watch my tales.
And each couple of weeks, I put up a narrative asking for questions, get a bunch of questions, after which. I select ones which can be fascinating or topical and reply them briefly there on Instagram and publish the entire solutions as tales after which deliver every thing over right here to the podcast the place I can reply the questions in additional element.
And so at this time I might be answering questions like my ideas on kettlebells as a major supply of resistance coaching, TRT, am I on TRT, If I’m not, would I take into account TRT? Below what circumstances would I am going on TRT? I even have a query concerning shoulder ache, particularly high of the shoulder ache and the right way to deal with that.
Lengthy size [00:01:00] partial reps versus full vary of movement reps, which must you be doing? And why colostrum supplementation is it nearly as good as many individuals declare? Whey versus casein for muscle progress and extra. Earlier than we wade into at this time’s episode, I must let you know a few new liposomal vitamin C complement that I take day-after-day from my sports activities diet firm, Legion.
And why do I take this day-after-day? As a result of analysis reveals that supplementation with liposomal vitamin C can assist immune operate, improve antioxidant safety, assist metabolic well being, enhance iron absorption, and extra. And the way does it do all these issues? Vitamin C is a necessary nutrient that performs a vital function in many various bodily processes, together with neurotransmitter manufacturing, collagen formation, antioxidant exercise, immune operate, wound therapeutic, and iron [00:02:00] absorption.
And whereas it’s simple to get sufficient vitamin C by way of your weight-reduction plan to satisfy the really helpful each day allowance, the RDA, of between 75 and 90 milligrams per day, and in the event you try this you’ll stop a deficiency, Analysis means that this may increasingly not produce optimum well being and longevity, particularly for energetic folks.
Which ought to be the final word objective with our diet, assist optimum well being and longevity. Subsequently, if you wish to preserve an consumption of no less than a number of hundred milligrams of vitamin C per day, which is advisable for a number of causes, particularly for energetic folks, That may be troublesome to do by way of weight-reduction plan alone as a result of it requires consuming a number of servings per day of meals that many individuals don’t eat or don’t actually wish to eat, together with citrus fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and extra.
And in the event you love these meals and eat a [00:03:00] lot of them, you is likely to be getting sufficient vitamin C. You is likely to be attending to a number of hundred milligrams per day simply by way of your weight-reduction plan, however many individuals, even individuals who eat nicely don’t. Additionally, it’s important to Understand that vegatables and fruits usually comprise much less vitamin C than they did up to now.
And that meals processing strategies can take away as much as 50 p.c of the vitamin C from meals. And people are the principle the reason why many well being acutely aware individuals who eat nicely, like myself, additionally select to complement with vitamin C. Now why liposomal vitamin C slightly than ascorbic acid or buffered vitamin C or one other kind?
I do know it seems like advertising and marketing gibberish, however it’s truly not, as a result of liposomal vitamin C is vitamin C that has been encased in liposomes, that are microscopic spheres fabricated from phospholipids, that are molecules that consist primarily of glycerol and fatty acids. [00:04:00] And analysis reveals that this liposomal type of vitamin C is extra bioavailable than extra frequent kinds available on the market, like glycerol.
Ascorbic acid, buffered vitamin C, and even pure sources like acerola, cherry extract, and rosehip powder. And so what which means for you is that with liposomal vitamin C, you will get larger advantages with smaller doses. And that helps stop gastrointestinal issues related to superdosing vitamin C.
And so if you wish to see what including some additional vitamin C to your routine can do for you, you will get 20 p.c off your first order of legion’s liposomal vitamin C and every thing else within the retailer. If you wish to purchase anything by going to purchase legion. com slash vitamin C that’s B Y L E G I O N.

After which we provides you with your a refund. You don’t even must ship the stuff again to us.
So once more, go to buylegion. com slash vitamin C. Now strive the liposomal vitamin C threat free.

BigTim27 asks, Lifts over 80 and by that he means 80 p.c of 1 rep max or Round 8 rep max for most individuals, 8 reps to failure, is it okay to do decrease rep units and simply add extra units to equate quantity? And by that, he means doing, let’s say, 4 reps or max 5 reps per set with the load that you might do 8 or possibly even [00:06:00] 9 reps with.
Slightly than pushing proper as much as failure, possibly doing 7 and even 8 reps together with your 8 ish rep max weight. Now so far as constructing muscle goes, the issue with doing simply 4 reps per set together with your eight rep max weight versus seven or eight reps per set. is twofold. One, you might be doing fairly a bit much less quantity when it comes to whole weight lifted or you might take a look at it when it comes to whole reps.
Regardless that your whole units are the identical, the quantity of labor that you’re making your muscular tissues do is considerably decrease if you’re doing simply 4 reps per set together with your eight rep max weight versus six or seven or eight reps per set. In order that’s the primary a part of the issue. And the second a part of the issue is as a result of doing simply 4 reps per set with an eight ish rep max weight doesn’t deliver you very near failure.
These units aren’t going to generate As highly effective of a coaching [00:07:00] stimulus as units that will deliver you nearer to failure. So doing six, seven, and even eight reps per set with an eight ish rep max weight. And that’s necessary as a result of these final couple reps in a set taken near muscular failure are extra productive if we’re speaking about muscle hypertrophy.
They’re extra productive of muscle progress than the primary half of the set, than the reps that you just do which can be simple and aren’t even near failure. Now, that’s to not say that the primary half of each set or the primary three quarters of each set doesn’t generate any significant stimulus in any respect. It does generate a coaching stimulus.
Nevertheless, nearly all of the stimulus that’s going to provide Progress that’s going to get you greater and stronger goes to return from the minority of reps that you just carry out towards the tip of the set as you method [00:08:00] failure. And so then coming again to the query, which is mainly, are you able to simply do extra of this submaximal coaching the place you aren’t pushing near failure, this decrease depth coaching, are you able to simply enhance the variety of units that you just do?
To equate the amount when it comes to whole poundage, that will be the way in which to do it. So by the tip of your session, you didn’t come near failure in any of your units. You left 4 and even 5 good reps nonetheless within the tank in each set, however you elevated the variety of units. So the entire poundage lifted is the same as what it could have been in the event you would have taken your working units nearer to failure.
For those who would have completed the additional two or three and even 4 reps per set slightly than the 4 reps per set. And so the reply is sure, that’s viable. That does work to a degree. It really works higher with power coaching, with pure power coaching, the place you might be actually simply attempting to get stronger and any muscle progress that happens is only a [00:09:00] byproduct of chasing the objective of getting stronger.
But when your major objective is to get greater and also you take into account power as extra of a byproduct of getting greater muscular tissues. So possibly you might be following a bodybuilding program or possibly you might be following a hybrid power and bodybuilding program, an influence constructing program. Because it’s normally referred to, and all of my applications mainly that I’ve created are energy constructing applications, a little bit of pure power coaching, a little bit of bodybuilding, and so if you’re extra excited about getting greater muscular tissues than you might be in simply rising uncooked power, then it’s best to know that hardly ever or by no means pushing even near failure, not to mention to failure in your working units.
might be going to provide inferior outcomes, produce much less muscle progress over time. Even if you’re equating quantity by simply rising the variety of submaximal [00:10:00] units that you just’re doing. And so in case your major objective is to get greater and your secondary objective is to get stronger, then I like to recommend taking your whole units shut ish to failure.
Wherever from zero good reps left to possibly three good reps left. And the three could be extra appropriate to your huge compound workouts like your squat, your deadlift, your bench press, your overhead press, and your zero could be extra appropriate to isolation workouts with smaller muscle teams or truly simply isolation workouts normally.
Consider a leg extension, for instance, that’s coaching the quadriceps. That could be a huge muscle group, however you possibly can safely take that proper as much as failure. Zero good reps left. The place you possibly can’t even end the ultimate rep of the set as a result of it will get so laborious with no threat, you’re not going to get damage doing that.
Whereas doing that on a barbell again squat is riskier, particularly when the weights get [00:11:00] heavy, particularly once you get stronger. I believe there’s a level. The place it isn’t definitely worth the threat except you’re a aggressive power athlete, and that’s simply a part of the sport, however in the event you’re not, in the event you’re simply an on a regular basis health club goer or a life-style bodybuilder, the dangers related to pushing your heavy units of your squat of your deadlift of your bench press of your overhead press to failure the place you possibly can’t end the rep or possibly even Zero good reps left.
So that you end the set however you virtually missed it So the dangers related to coaching that intensely on these workouts aren’t definitely worth the negligible rewards in comparison with ending units with let’s say one or two or possibly even Three good reps nonetheless within the tank Now, that stated, the submaximal fashion of coaching that I used to be mentioning beforehand, the place you permit 4 plus good reps nonetheless within the tank [00:12:00] in each working set will be helpful if you’re feeling bodily or psychologically ragged, your motivation to coach is non existent and you actually wish to skip the exercise.
Slightly than skip the exercise, how about you simply make it simpler and a simple method to make. A weightlifting exercise simpler is to go away extra good reps within the tank, extra reps in reserve in your working units. So slightly than pushing laborious on that squat to, let’s say one or two good reps nonetheless in reserve, you finish every working set with 4 reps in reserve, or possibly even 5 reps in reserve.
You’re nonetheless utilizing heavy weight. You continue to are getting some quantity in, however it’s simply fairly a bit much less quantity. And people units are clearly a lot easier. It’s going to really feel extra like a deload exercise or one thing in between a deload exercise and only a common exercise. And that may be [00:13:00] sufficient to take the sting off of the session and simply assist you get by way of it.
Okay, Daniel Mufti 1 asks, Mike, reaching 40 and now I really feel a little bit of hip ache, like a pinch. What do I do? So the very first thing I’d advocate is to evaluate your decrease physique mobility and your flexibility. Flexibility turns into extra of a problem as we become older, particularly as we prepare for longer durations of time and possibly we don’t have good motion patterns and we’ve developed some imbalances.
And so if you’re experiencing some hip ache, actually of any type, I’ll guess that there are some important deficiencies when it comes to mobility and suppleness which can be contributing to the issue. And I’ve skilled this myself. For instance, I used to have considerably worse inside rotation on the left aspect of my hips than the suitable aspect of my hips, and that was inflicting low again ache.
Additionally, SI joint ache, significantly related to deadlifting. [00:14:00] And as soon as I labored on that and improved my inside rotation, That drawback resolved. After which extra just lately, additionally on the left aspect of my physique, the tensor fasciae latae muscle, the TFL, has been aggravated. That may additionally piss off your SI joint as a result of it’s supposed to assist distribute the hundreds that you just place your physique beneath.
Correctly and evenly on each side of that joint. And that has been partially as a result of my hip adductors, ADductors, the muscular tissues that deliver your legs towards the midline of your physique. have been fairly rigid. My, my butterfly stretch was fairly dangerous. And so I’ve been engaged on that stretch for a number of months. I’ve gotten it significantly better and that has improved the TFL pressure, which then has improved the SI joint operate and scenario, decreased the quantity of discomfort that I really feel after I do sure issues, sure positions, [00:15:00] it’s not at all times.
And in addition what has been serving to with the TFL is therapeutic massage. Along with that, the psoas muscle on my left aspect has been significantly aggravated and so therapeutic massage has been serving to that lots as nicely. And so inside a few months, the SI joint saga will lastly come to an finish as soon as these few muscular points are resolved.
And this stuff occurred as a result of I used to be pushing it laborious in my coaching a while in the past, significantly with deadlifting. And the discomfort was rising and it was pushed by. These muscular points and I used to be being cussed and mainly simply ignoring the rising discomfort and attempting to stay to the plan and push for PRS and so forth.
And fortuitously, there was no acute harm, however there was some extent the place I made a decision to cease ignoring the rising discomfort as a result of it will possibly result in an acute harm. And [00:16:00] usually, merely stopping what’s aggravating, no matter the issue is sufficient to resolve it. Typically you don’t must do anything, actually, you simply cease doing what’s inflicting the issue, and also you simply discover different workouts that don’t trigger the Aggravation of no matter space of the physique that we’re speaking about, or possibly on a scale of 10, it’s like at most a 3.
It doesn’t ever get to even ache. Possibly it’s simply slight discomfort. And also you try this for lengthy sufficient and the difficulty simply resolves itself. Nevertheless, that doesn’t at all times work. Typically you do want a particular intervention to get again to regular. Typically it’s therapeutic massage. Typically it’s stretching. Typically it’s bodily remedy.
And if an issue doesn’t simply resolve itself inside a few months, it’s sensible to begin wanting into these interventions, and you can begin with issues you could simply do at dwelling, like stretching, like therapeutic massage, which generally you possibly can [00:17:00] do your self with a therapeutic massage gun or a lacrosse ball, you possibly can obtain the identical impact.
Typically, although, you want someone to work on you since you simply can’t get to the affected tissue or the required tissue correctly. And so then if you end up attempting these completely different interventions, it’s necessary to know that you just’re on the lookout for fast enhancements inside a few weeks of standard stretching or therapeutic massage or bodily remedy, no matter it’s, not main enhancements, however noticeable enhancements inside a few weeks.
For those who’ve been doing one thing persistently for a few weeks and also you’re not noticing any enchancment. It’s in all probability time to look elsewhere. It may very well be a distinct intervention or it may very well be a distinct muscle group that you have to goal or you have to embody in your routine. So in my case, engaged on the TFL therapeutic massage, it’s serving to.
Nevertheless, if I didn’t additionally deal with the adductor [00:18:00] subject, it in all probability wouldn’t be sufficient. The issue would in all probability simply persist the place I’d get a little bit bit higher with the therapeutic massage after which a little bit bit worse due to the adductor subject and you’ll simply. Rinse and repeat that perpetually.

And I’d maintain most isolation workouts round eight reps, give or take, let’s say two. So possibly six to eight reps or eight to 10 reps per set.

And whereas it’s simple to get sufficient vitamin C by way of your [00:34:00] weight-reduction plan to satisfy the really helpful each day allowance, the RDA of between 75 and 90 milligrams per day.
And in the event you try this, you’ll stop a deficiency.

a number of servings per day of meals that many individuals don’t eat or don’t actually wish to eat, together with citrus fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and extra.
