QUESTIONS FROM THIS Q&A: When cutting do you cycle or take a break from supplements eg. Forge and Phoenix? If so, when and for how long? Tell us more about GENESIS, your new green supplement. Can't wait for it! Deload VS. Week off? When will Stacked be released? Hey brother, been on your book for about a year. Best results ever... BUT, with shoulders, side raises, I feel I work my traps more than my shoulders, Tips? Read your book and you recommend taking 1.2g of protein/lb during cutting. I find it hard to stick to that? Any recommendation? I'm curious, which professional athlete do you admire most and why? Will fat gain during a bulk be more evenly redistributed? Or will stubborn areas gain fat first? Do you feel that muscle growth is compromised by a down regulated metabolism, meaning a post cut situation? What do you think about consuming caffeine/creatine at the same time post-workout? What’s your process for testing 1RM on the primary lifts – how often, as part of regular workouts or separately, basic methods, etc? Thoughts on incorporating Yoga in parallel with BLS bulking program? If so, what do you suggest? Any tips on growing a blog (I know you grew yours rapidly) and what are your favorite writing tools and tips? Are you going to get back to doing regular podcasts every week? I am starting the Bigger Leaner Stronger program VERY soon. My workout partner is my wife, and she has different goals than me while in the gym. She is trying to lose weight while I am trying to gain muscle. How can we still be workout buddies with different goals? Excited for the new Star Wars movie? Based on your Instagram I bet your son is! (43:10) What would you say is the best way to deal with weight variation? Considering the variations that can occur because of your scale, and all of the other factors that can vary weight, how can we make sure we're making progress? I struggle with finding a happy balance between my strength goals and physique goals. How do you find the balance? Are there any machines you would recommend to increase bench press? Are you going to start engaging your son in any type of exercise/sports? On improving a specific body part, what do you think on working this muscle 2 or 3 times a week together with other muscles? What do you think of the "gallon of milk a day" routine? I heard this helps with getting bigger. My shoulder hurts quite a bit from stretching so much when I try to get into the squat position you recommend. I haven't been to the gym for about a month now, I was sick with the flu. I'm planning to head back to the gym but don't know how to go about it. Should I go back to my old routine or just take things slow. I'm following your book and training program which are both really great! The problem I'm having is that I'm always tired, like out of energy. Is there anything I might be doing wrong? Whole wheat bagels: Good or bad bulking food? I've got an angry rotator cuff and it causes challenges for progression with heavy weight, any recommendations other than laying off? I'm having pain in my forearms when doing heavy barbell curls, to the point that I can't do the exercise anymore and they hurt for the rest of the week. Ever experienced something like that and any tips on what to do? I wont be able to work out at the gym for 2 weeks or more. Advice/stuff I can/should do at home to compensate until I can get back in the gym? Hey Mike, I'm 16 and starting your Bigger Leaner Stronger program. Is there any risks associated with my age or aspects of the workout I should be doing differently than suggested?
