Underrated exercises
what are some exercises you incorporate into your workouts that many people don't do? Or exerices you feel work well but not many people preform them
Whey Concentrate vs Isolate
Unless your prepping for a competition or suffer from lactose intolerance, what are the real differences between whey protein concentrate and isolate, and what would make you use one over the other?
IMO go with a good MIX like MTS Nutrition Machine Whey. Concentrate is more intact keeping the benefits of whey. The more you filter it the less cool stuff it has. That's why I recommend MTS Whey even though I make an isolate!
Adequate Sleep
How many hours of sleep do you believe is optimal per night for muscle recovery? Also do you believe in taking supplements to help with sleep such as ZMA or Melatonin?
Sleep is essential for everything, mental and physical performance!
ZMA in my opinion is a waste if you have a good diet and take a multi and melatonin can help. Keep an eye open for the new MTS Nutrition Machine Sleep Aid coming soon!
Amount of sleep needed is individual, but generally 6-9 hours.
Meal Frequency & Timing
You always hear the idea that you should eat every 3 hours, including protein. What are your thoughts on the eating every 3 hours philosophy? It is completely necessary to do this? OR does it really just boil down to your macro numbers at the end of the day?
I know Mike Rashid is only eating once a day at the moment, and that sparked my interest for this question.
As long as you hit macros, it makes little difference. BUT I believe eating one meal a day is not optimal at all
Taking a Break from Stimulants
Hi Marc! I have been taking pre-workout supplements 4-5 days a week for the past several years. I never felt the need to take a stimulant break, as my body still responds nicely to caffeine, DMHA, DMAA, etc. Is there a rule of thumb you use to taper off of stimulants? If so, how long do you recommend taking a stimulant break for?
Honestly, if you still feel it there is no need. But generally speaking a week every 12 weeks will keep your sensitivity high
