Ep. #731: Q&A: Lying vs. Seated Hamstring Curl, Weight Loss Medications, and Isometric Training

Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

I’ve churned through over 150,000 emails, social media comments and messages, and blog comments in the last 6 years.

And that means I’ve fielded a ton of questions.

As you can imagine, some questions pop up more often than others, and I thought it might be helpful to take a little time every month to choose a few and record and share my answers.

So, in this round, I answer the following three questions:

  1. Lying or seated ham curls?
  2. Thoughts on weight loss medications?
  3. How useful are isometric exercises?

If you have a question you’d like me to answer, leave a comment below or if you want a faster response, send an email to mike@muscleforlife.com.
