Epicatechin
So one of the "other" companies came out with a creatine supplement containing epicatechin as a big selling point. Do you think it truly it is the myostatin inhibitor of the future? Studies done on a very small sample size support that consumption of the product correlated to a decrease in myostatin production. But like always, it seems too good to be true.
What's the most common injury for women in the gym, and what is the best way to prevent it?
Abby, I have seen a plethora of injuries, and they are all minimized by doing proper pillar prep and movement prep. See this:
Current data shows as long as you go intense, and near failure, BOTH yield results! Do both!
Size and work
What is the best way to eat for size when you have a job that has you constantly moving. What are some foods to eat while on the go at work with little to no time?
Eat more! Pack Epic Gains in Ziplocks and use a shaker bottle. And when off of work, get in your required daily macros!

Fat macros
While on keto diet, how much fat should I eat? At this point I'm still battling my own brain and forcing myself to eat more fats. I don't realize I'm not eating enough until I'm exhausted.
It should be about 80 percent of your diet. See this: https://content.tigerfitness.com/what-is-the-keto-diet/
Fish Oil Going Bad?
Lately my fish oil capsules have been a bit more stinky than usual, is there a way to know if they've gone rancid or not?
Squats Q&A ?
Marc for someone who has a terrible body mobility & mechanics such as terrible shoulder mobilty which im in therapy for, but normal rotator cuff mobility is 80 degrees & mines 35, so I cant do back barbell squats, what can I do in replace for best results aside from back squats & maybe limit extensions as i have some knee pain to.
Goblet squats are PERFECT for you! See this: https://content.tigerfitness.com/goblet-squat/
1-2x is enough...more isn't always better! Here is a good plan: https://content.tigerfitness.com/big-calves-workout/
Cut Fat or Build Muscle First
Hi Marc,
I am relatively new to lifting. Only about a 1 to 1.5 years into lifting consistently. Currently I am in the low 20's when it comes to body fat percentage across a couple different body fat percentage tests. Long term I am looking to compete someday but not sure if I should look to cut down to 10-12% body fat first like you have previously recommended or work on building some muscle foundation first. Any recommendations for someone new?
No point gaining now--you will have too much fat!
I would cut down to 6-8% using www.dropfactorbook.com
Once there, LEAN GAIN 1-2lbs a month at www.massdiet.com
Best of luck!
