Q&A: Accessory Progression, Beet Powder, Cardio Motivation, and More Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews
-
- Fitness
If you have an injured arm, should you still do exercises with the non-injured arm? Is beet juice a good pre-workout? What’s a good grip for bench press? How do I get motivated for cardio? All that and more in this podcast.
This podcast is a Q&A, but it’s a bit different from the kind you’ll typically find here on Muscle For Life.
In my usual Q&A episodes, I take a question from email or Instagram and then fully answer it in an episode of the podcast every week.
However, over on Instagram, I’ve started doing weekly Q&As in the stories, and it occurred to me that many podcast listeners might enjoy hearing these questions and my short answers. So, instead of talking about one thing in an episode, I’m going to cover a variety of questions. And keep in mind some of these questions are just for fun. :)
So if you want to ask me questions in my Instagram stories, follow me on Instagram (@muscleforlifefitness), and if I answer your question there, it might just make it onto an episode of the podcast!
If you like this type of episode, let me know. Send me an email (mike@muscleforlife.com) or direct message me on Instagram. And if you don’t like it, let me know that too or how you think it could be better.
