Simple vs Complex Carbs

Hey! I know in a recent episode you guys mentioned simple/complex carbs. I understand that simple carbs break down quicker compared to complex. If I am in a lean bulk, does it matter how many of my overall carbs come from simple or complex? For example if a lot of my carbs are simple carbs coming from high carb fruits daily like bananas, apples, oranges is that a bad thing? Should I be have more complex carbs instead? Thank you!

What's the best way to do MYO reps?

Hey yall - new premium member & started the glute focused program this week and saw that there are MYO reps included. Did some - "research" - googling lol and looked up what that is and how but saw some variety in ways people say to do it. Wondering if yall could touch on what, why, and how of MYO reps. Thanks!

Subs for Deadlifts that actually work?!

At home, I have a pretty well stocked gym with a barbell, rack, weight plates, and some dumbbells. I have plenty of weights to get a good deadlift in. When I work at the office, there is a gym that I use with limited machine equipment and dumbbells up to 50 lb. What is a good sub for deadlifts that I can do with the limited equipment? The exercise substitutions listed in the workout plans you guys have just never feel like I'm getting the same value out of the exercise.

Insomnia

First, LOVE your podcast! I've listened to some episodes where you have talked about sleep. I don't think you've mentioned insomnia. I have extremely bad insomnia that's only developed about a year ago. It's driving me crazy. There are days I'm up at 1am and can't sleep. It does affect daily life, work and my workouts. Besides a sleep study (which I can't afford unfortunately) what do you recommend I can do to just help with it? I've done Journaling, breathing exercises, tried meditation ect. Any other suggestions?
