Q&A: Eating Below BMR, Getting Photoshoot Ready, Eating Red Meat, and More Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

    • Fitness

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 four questions:
1. What is the best way to get ripped for a photoshoot or event? (2:32)
2. Is it harmful to eat below your basal metabolic rate? (8:09)
3. How can Bigger Leaner Stronger or Thinner Leaner Stronger be modified for intermediate and advanced weightlifters? (13:23)
4. Should I stop eating red meat? (21:46)
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.
