Getting stronger without gaining size
Hi! I’m at a point in my training where I’ve pretty much built the muscle size that I’m happy with so now my goal is just to maintain muscle mass. However, I’d still like to get stronger on movements like the bench press and the deadlift. Is this possible and if so, how does one approach this goal? Thanks, love your podcast btw!
How can I lower RHR, increase HRV?
I wear a whoop and monitor my hrv and rhr. I train regularly (following your 12 wk program) + cardio, log food based on fat loss focused recomp and generally get good sleep (both quality and quantity)….not seeing a lot of movement in my RHR (it’s even a little higher at times than last year) or HRV What are the best ways to improve both metrics? Are there supplements that ACTUALLY help with this?
Is taking a multivitamin daily worth it?
From listening to your episodes on supplements it seems that if you’re not deficient, then taking more of something will not add extra benefits. Also I know in one of the episodes it was mentioned that in a multivitamin there are smaller amounts of each vitamin so if you are deficient then you’re better off just taking that supplement. If I’m not deficient should I be taking a multivitamin?
