Deadlifts: barbell vs hex bar?
Hi guys, love the pod and all the amazing resources you share with us! I think I am going to start the PPL program soon to prep for my wedding in August! I've never been consistent with deadlifts, and they have always made me a bit nervous due to their reputation for injury (plus I already deal with minor back problems). How do I figure out if standard barbell deadlifts or hex bar deadlifts would be better for me? What are the differences between the two, and how do those differences impact training?
How often to train to failure
I’ve been training for almost a year now and training to failure feels like the easiest way to make sure i’m pushing myself consistently, but i find myself stalling in progress as far as moving up in weight or reps. should i train everything to failure? if not, how often should you go to complete failure to maximize muscle growth?
When you'd rather stay in bed
I loved your episode about mindset and goal setting. I have used your goal setting worksheet, but I find no matter how clear I get on my goals and motivation, I still struggle with executing in the moment. I've worked on stacking habits and reducing friction, but still really struggle with consistency with my training schedule. What are your tips on getting your butt to the gym on days when you just don't want to do the thing?
Any Chance at a Future Home Workout Plan
Hi. love the show and loving being a premium member. For those of us dedicated to the home workout, with minimal equipment ( dumbbell's, kettlebell, bench, bands, ect.) Is there a possibility that there could be a workout plan provided in the future. I am lucky enough to also make it to the gym a few times a week, and already implement the programs provided, but to be honest I do have more time to work out at home. Just some food for thought. Thanks
