    • Question #2: I have a hard time figuring out what weights to use for my exercises when I switch rep ranges. I feel like it takes me a couple tries to find the right weight for my new reps. Any suggestions? - Katie L (21:48)
    • Question #3: I heard someone tell me if I was training more than 3 sets for an exercise then I wasn’t training hard enough. Is there any truth to that? - Mike R (26:28)

    Questions

    • Question #1: I’m only able to add 5 pounds to my compound lifts each month and I’m starting to feel discouraged. Is this normal? I’m not sure if it’s the program or if I have unrealistic expectations. (36:19)
    • Question #2: What is your advice for someone who’s having a hard time reaching their calorie intake? I'm falling 200-500 below my maintenance and I feel it in the gym too with lifts I can tell I'm losing strength. When you're in a rut like this, should you take time off or back off from the gym since you're burning even more calories when you go? (44:32)
    • Question #3: What’s something you teach or coach differently than you did 5 years ago? (51:32)

    Questions

    • Question #1: I have a beach vacation coming up in about a month, and I’d like to see my abs by then. I’m around 20-22% body-fat with a little bit of muscle & have only been consistent in the gym for about 2 months. Is this a realistic goal and, if so, how can I do it? (30:02)
    • Question #2: Should you weigh meat cooked or uncooked? (41:17)
    • Question #3: I have a hip/knee issue I’m dealing with. With this debilitation, I’m not able to do enough cardio each day. I have a bike I can ride for about 20min/day at a moderate pace. How effective is this vs actually walking? I’m still able to lift weights with modifications, but I can’t get those 10,000 steps in, so I’m looking for an alternative when I can’t walk any great distance. Any suggestions? (43:49)
    • Question #4: In honor of Valentine’s Day, how did you guys meet your girlfriends? (49:50)
