[00:00:00] Howdy, that is Muscle for Life and I’m Mike Matthews. Thanks for becoming a member of me in the present day for an additional Q& A episode the place I reply a bunch of questions that individuals have requested me over on Instagram. If you wish to ask me questions, go to Instagram, comply with 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 attention-grabbing or topical and reply them briefly there on Instagram and submit the entire solutions as tales after which carry all the things over right here to the podcast the place I can reply the questions in additional element.
And so in the present day I shall 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? Beneath what circumstances would I am going on TRT? I even have a query concerning shoulder ache, particularly high of the shoulder ache and tips on how to tackle that.
Lengthy size [00:01:00] partial reps versus full vary of movement reps, which do you have to be doing? And why colostrum supplementation is it pretty much as good as many individuals declare? Whey versus casein for muscle development and extra. Earlier than we wade into in the present day’s episode, I have to inform you a couple of new liposomal vitamin C complement that I take every single day from my sports activities vitamin firm, Legion.
And why do I take this every single day? As a result of analysis exhibits that supplementation with liposomal vitamin C can assist immune perform, 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 vital nutrient that performs an important position in many alternative bodily processes, together with neurotransmitter manufacturing, collagen formation, antioxidant exercise, immune perform, wound therapeutic, and iron [00:02:00] absorption.
And whereas it’s straightforward to get sufficient vitamin C by means of your food regimen to satisfy the really helpful day by day allowance, the RDA, of between 75 and 90 milligrams per day, and if you happen to try this you’ll forestall a deficiency, Analysis means that this may occasionally not produce optimum well being and longevity, particularly for energetic individuals.
Which must be the final word aim with our vitamin, assist optimum well being and longevity. Due to this fact, if you wish to keep an consumption of not less than a number of hundred milligrams of vitamin C per day, which is advisable for a number of causes, particularly for energetic individuals, That may be troublesome to do by means of food regimen 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 prefer to eat, together with citrus fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and extra.
And if you happen to love these meals and eat a [00:03:00] lot of them, you may be getting sufficient vitamin C. You may be attending to a number of hundred milligrams per day simply by means of your food regimen, however many individuals, even individuals who eat nicely don’t. Additionally, you need to Remember the fact that vegatables and fruits typically include much less vitamin C than they did prior to now.
And that meals processing strategies can take away as much as 50 % of the vitamin C from meals. And people are the primary the explanation why many well being acutely aware individuals who eat nicely, like myself, additionally select to complement with vitamin C. Now why liposomal vitamin C relatively than ascorbic acid or buffered vitamin C or one other kind?
I do know it appears like advertising and marketing gibberish, but it surely’s really 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 exhibits that this liposomal type of vitamin C is extra bioavailable than extra frequent types 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 may get better advantages with smaller doses. And that helps forestall gastrointestinal issues related to superdosing vitamin C.
And so if you wish to see what including some further vitamin C to your routine can do for you, you may get 20 % off your first order of legion’s liposomal vitamin C and all the things else within the retailer. If you wish to purchase the rest by going to purchase legion. com slash vitamin C that’s B Y L E G I O N.

BigTim27 asks, Lifts over 80 and by that he means 80 % 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 burden that you may do 8 or possibly even [00:06:00] 9 reps with.
Reasonably than pushing proper as much as failure, possibly doing 7 and even 8 reps along with your 8 ish rep max weight. Now so far as constructing muscle goes, the issue with doing simply 4 reps per set along with your eight rep max weight versus seven or eight reps per set. is twofold. One, you’re doing fairly a bit much less quantity by way of whole weight lifted or you may have a look at it by way of whole reps.
Though your whole units are the identical, the quantity of labor that you’re making your muscle tissues do is considerably decrease in case you are doing simply 4 reps per set along 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 carry you very near failure.
These units aren’t going to generate As highly effective of a coaching [00:07:00] stimulus as units that may carry you nearer to failure. So doing six, seven, and even eight reps per set with an eight ish rep max weight. And that’s essential 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 development than the primary half of the set, than the reps that you simply do which can be straightforward and are usually not 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 way. It does generate a coaching stimulus.
Nevertheless, the vast majority of the stimulus that’s going to supply Progress that’s going to get you greater and stronger goes to return from the minority of reps that you simply carry out towards the top of the set as you method [00:08:00] failure. And so then coming again to the query, which is principally, 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 simply do?
To equate the quantity by way of whole poundage, that may be the way in which to do it. So by the top 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 will have been if you happen to would have taken your working units nearer to failure.
When you would have accomplished the additional two or three and even 4 reps per set relatively 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 energy coaching, with pure energy coaching, the place you’re actually simply attempting to get stronger and any muscle development that happens is only a [00:09:00] byproduct of chasing the aim of getting stronger.
But when your major aim is to get greater and also you take into account energy as extra of a byproduct of getting greater muscle tissues. So possibly you’re following a bodybuilding program or possibly you’re following a hybrid energy and bodybuilding program, an influence constructing program. Because it’s often referred to, and all of my packages principally that I’ve created are energy constructing packages, a little bit of pure energy coaching, a little bit of bodybuilding, and so in case you are extra taken with getting greater muscle tissues than you’re in simply rising uncooked energy, then you need 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 supply inferior outcomes, produce much less muscle development over time. Even in case you are equating quantity by simply rising the variety of submaximal [00:10:00] units that you simply’re doing. And so in case your major aim is to get greater and your secondary aim is to get stronger, then I like to recommend taking your entire units shut ish to failure.
Wherever from zero good reps left to possibly three good reps left. And the three can be extra appropriate to your huge compound workout routines like your squat, your deadlift, your bench press, your overhead press, and your zero can be extra appropriate to isolation workout routines with smaller muscle teams or really simply isolation workout routines on the whole.
Consider a leg extension, for instance, that’s coaching the quadriceps. That may be a huge muscle group, however you may safely take that proper as much as failure. Zero good reps left. The place you may’t even end the ultimate rep of the set as a result of it will get so onerous with no danger, you’re not going to get harm doing that.
Whereas doing that on a barbell again squat is riskier, particularly when the weights get [00:11:00] heavy, particularly whenever you get stronger. I feel there’s a level. The place it’s not well worth the danger until you’re a aggressive energy athlete, and that’s simply a part of the sport, however if you happen to’re not, if you happen to’re simply an on a regular basis gymnasium 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 may’t end the rep or possibly even Zero good reps left.
So that you end the set however you nearly missed it So the dangers related to coaching that intensely on these workout routines are usually not well 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 type of coaching that I used to be mentioning beforehand, the place you allow 4 plus good reps nonetheless within the tank [00:12:00] in each working set will be helpful in case you are feeling bodily or psychologically ragged, your motivation to coach is non existent and you actually wish to skip the exercise.
Reasonably than skip the exercise, how about you simply make it simpler and a simple solution to make. A weightlifting exercise simpler is to depart extra good reps within the tank, extra reps in reserve in your working units. So relatively than pushing onerous 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 enable you get by means 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 suggest is to evaluate your decrease physique mobility and your flexibility. Flexibility turns into extra of a difficulty as we become older, particularly as we practice for longer durations of time and possibly we don’t have excellent motion patterns and we’ve developed some imbalances.
And so in case you are experiencing some hip ache, actually of any form, I’ll guess that there are some vital deficiencies by way of mobility and adaptability 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 proper aspect of my hips, and that was inflicting low again ache.
Additionally, SI joint ache, notably related to deadlifting. [00:14:00] And as soon as I labored on that and improved my inside rotation, That downside 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 masses that you simply place your physique below.
Correctly and evenly on either side of that joint. And that has been partly as a result of my hip adductors, ADductors, the muscle tissues that carry your legs towards the midline of your physique. had been fairly rigid. My, my butterfly stretch was fairly unhealthy. 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 perform and state of affairs, lowered the quantity of discomfort that I really feel after I do sure issues, sure positions, [00:15:00] it’s not all the time.
And likewise what has been serving to with the TFL is therapeutic massage. Along with that, the psoas muscle on my left aspect has been notably aggravated and so therapeutic massage has been serving to that loads 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 these items occurred as a result of I used to be pushing it onerous in my coaching a while in the past, notably with deadlifting. And the discomfort was rising and it was pushed by. These muscular points and I used to be being cussed and principally simply ignoring the rising discomfort and attempting to stay to the plan and push for PRS and so forth.
And luckily, there was no acute damage, however there was a degree the place I made a decision to cease ignoring the rising discomfort as a result of it may possibly result in an acute damage. And [00:16:00] typically, merely stopping what’s aggravating, no matter the issue is sufficient to resolve it. Typically you don’t must do the rest, actually, you simply cease doing what’s inflicting the issue, and also you simply discover different workout routines 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 all the time work. Generally you do want a selected intervention to get again to regular. Generally it’s therapeutic massage. Generally it’s stretching. Generally it’s bodily remedy.
And if an issue doesn’t simply resolve itself inside a few months, it’s good to begin trying into these interventions, and you can begin with issues that you may simply do at dwelling, like stretching, like therapeutic massage, which generally you may [00:17:00] do your self with a therapeutic massage gun or a lacrosse ball, you may obtain the identical impact.
Generally, although, you want someone to work on you since you simply can’t get to the affected tissue or the mandatory tissue correctly. And so then when you find yourself attempting these completely different interventions, it’s essential to grasp that you simply’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.
When you’ve been doing one thing constantly for a few weeks and also you’re not noticing any enchancment. It’s most likely time to look elsewhere. It may very well be a unique intervention or it may very well be a unique muscle group that it is advisable goal or it is advisable embrace in your routine. So in my case, engaged on the TFL therapeutic massage, it’s serving to.
Nevertheless, if I didn’t additionally tackle the adductor [00:18:00] subject, it most likely wouldn’t be sufficient. The issue would most likely 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.

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

We are going to wrap up in the present day’s episode shortly, however first I have to inform you a couple of new liposomal vitamin C complement that I take every single day from my sports activities vitamin firm. And why do I take this every single day? As a result of analysis exhibits that supplementation with liposomal vitamin C can assist immune perform, 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 vital nutrient that performs an important position in many alternative bodily processes together with neurotransmitter manufacturing, collagen formation, antioxidant exercise, immune perform, wound therapeutic, and iron absorption. And whereas it’s straightforward to get sufficient vitamin C by means of your [00:34:00] food regimen to satisfy the really helpful day by day allowance, the RDA of between 75 and 90 milligrams per day.
And if you happen to try this, you’ll forestall a deficiency. Analysis means that this may occasionally not produce optimum well being and longevity, particularly for energetic individuals, which must be the final word aim with our vitamin assist, optimum well being and longevity. Due to this fact, if you wish to keep an consumption of not less than a number of hundred milligrams of vitamin C per day, which is advisable for a number of causes, particularly for energetic individuals, that may be troublesome to do by means of food regimen 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 prefer to eat, together with citrus fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and extra. And if you happen to love these meals and eat loads of them, you may be getting sufficient vitamin C. You may be attending to a number of hundred milligrams per day simply by means of your food regimen.
However [00:35:00] many individuals, even individuals who eat nicely, don’t. Additionally, you need to remember that Fruit and veggies typically include much less vitamin C than they did prior to now, and that meals processing strategies can take away as much as 50 % of the vitamin C from meals.
