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: Are bro splits optimal for muscle growth? Should you use a weightlifting belt? How long should you remain in a calorie deficit? Is intermittent fasting better for retaining muscle than traditional dieting when cutting? 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.
