[00:00:00] Howdy, that is Muscle for Life and I’m Mike Matthews. Thanks for becoming a member of me right this moment for one more Q& A episode the place I reply a bunch of questions that individuals have requested me over on Instagram. If you wish to ask me questions, go to Instagram, observe me at muscle for all times health, watch my tales.
And each couple of weeks, I put up a narrative asking for questions, get a bunch of questions, after which. I select ones which are attention-grabbing or topical and reply them briefly there on Instagram and publish the entire solutions as tales after which deliver every thing over right here to the podcast the place I can reply the questions in additional element.
And so right this moment I will likely be answering questions like my ideas on kettlebells as a main supply of resistance coaching, TRT, am I on TRT, If I’m not, would I contemplate TRT? Below what circumstances would I’m going on TRT? I even have a query concerning shoulder ache, particularly prime of the shoulder ache and how one can deal with that.
Lengthy size [00:01:00] partial reps versus full vary of movement reps, which do you have to be doing? And why colostrum supplementation is it pretty much as good as many individuals declare? Whey versus casein for muscle progress and extra. Earlier than we wade into right this moment’s episode, I have to let you know a few new liposomal vitamin C complement that I take day by day from my sports activities diet firm, Legion.
And why do I take this day by day? As a result of analysis exhibits that supplementation with liposomal vitamin C can assist immune perform, improve antioxidant safety, assist metabolic well being, enhance iron absorption, and extra. And the way does it do all these issues? Vitamin C is an important nutrient that performs a vital position in many various bodily processes, together with neurotransmitter manufacturing, collagen formation, antioxidant exercise, immune perform, wound therapeutic, and iron [00:02:00] absorption.
And whereas it’s simple to get sufficient vitamin C by means of your weight-reduction plan to fulfill the beneficial every day allowance, the RDA, of between 75 and 90 milligrams per day, and in case you do this you’ll forestall a deficiency, Analysis means that this will not produce optimum well being and longevity, particularly for energetic folks.
Which must be the last word objective with our diet, assist optimum well being and longevity. Subsequently, if you wish to preserve an consumption of at the least a number of hundred milligrams of vitamin C per day, which is advisable for a number of causes, particularly for energetic folks, That may be tough to do by means of weight-reduction plan alone as a result of it requires consuming a number of servings per day of meals that many individuals don’t eat or don’t actually wish to eat, together with citrus fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and extra.
And in case you love these meals and eat a [00:03:00] lot of them, you is likely to be getting sufficient vitamin C. You is likely to be attending to a number of hundred milligrams per day simply by means of your weight-reduction plan, however many individuals, even individuals who eat properly don’t. Additionally, it’s a must to Remember the fact that fruit and veggies usually comprise much less vitamin C than they did prior to now.
And that meals processing strategies can take away as much as 50 p.c of the vitamin C from meals. And people are the primary explanation why many well being acutely aware individuals who eat properly, like myself, additionally select to complement with vitamin C. Now why liposomal vitamin C quite than ascorbic acid or buffered vitamin C or one other type?
I do know it seems like advertising and marketing gibberish, however it’s truly not, as a result of liposomal vitamin C is vitamin C that has been encased in liposomes, that are microscopic spheres product of phospholipids, that are molecules that consist primarily of glycerol and fatty acids. [00:04:00] And analysis exhibits that this liposomal type of vitamin C is extra bioavailable than extra frequent types available on the market, like glycerol.
Ascorbic acid, buffered vitamin C, and even pure sources like acerola, cherry extract, and rosehip powder. And so what which means for you is that with liposomal vitamin C, you may get better advantages with smaller doses. And that helps forestall gastrointestinal issues related to superdosing vitamin C.
And so if you wish to see what including some additional vitamin C to your routine can do for you, you may get 20 p.c off your first order of legion’s liposomal vitamin C and every thing else within the retailer. If you wish to purchase anything by going to purchase legion. com slash vitamin C that’s B Y L E G I O N.
com slash vitamin C and utilizing the coupon code muscle at checkout. After which if for no matter cause you don’t like our liposomal vitamin C or no matter else you [00:05:00] would possibly purchase, all it’s a must to do to get your a reimbursement is simply tell us. After which we offers you your a reimbursement. You don’t even must ship the stuff again to us.
So once more, go to buylegion. com slash vitamin C. Now strive the liposomal vitamin C threat free. And whereas it can not bulletproof your immune system, it can not detoxify your physique, it may possibly assist your immune perform, it may possibly assist antioxidant safety, it may possibly assist metabolic well being, and it may possibly do these issues with out the upset stomachs or free bowels.
BigTim27 asks, Lifts over 80 and by that he means 80 p.c of 1 rep max or Round 8 rep max for most individuals, 8 reps to failure, is it okay to do decrease rep units and simply add extra units to equate quantity? And by that, he means doing, let’s say, 4 reps or max 5 reps per set with the load that you may do 8 or possibly even [00:06:00] 9 reps with.
Fairly than pushing proper as much as failure, possibly doing 7 and even 8 reps together with your 8 ish rep max weight. Now so far as constructing muscle goes, the issue with doing simply 4 reps per set together with your eight rep max weight versus seven or eight reps per set. is twofold. One, you’re doing fairly a bit much less quantity by way of complete weight lifted or you may have a look at it by way of complete reps.
Although your complete units are the identical, the quantity of labor that you’re making your muscle mass do is considerably decrease if you’re doing simply 4 reps per set together with your eight rep max weight versus six or seven or eight reps per set. In order that’s the primary a part of the issue. And the second a part of the issue is as a result of doing simply 4 reps per set with an eight ish rep max weight doesn’t deliver you very near failure.
These units aren’t going to generate As highly effective of a coaching [00:07:00] stimulus as units that may deliver you nearer to failure. So doing six, seven, and even eight reps per set with an eight ish rep max weight. And that’s necessary as a result of these final couple reps in a set taken near muscular failure are extra productive if we’re speaking about muscle hypertrophy.
They’re extra productive of muscle progress than the primary half of the set, than the reps that you just do which are simple and usually are not even near failure. Now, that’s to not say that the primary half of each set or the primary three quarters of each set doesn’t generate any significant stimulus in any way. It does generate a coaching stimulus.
Nevertheless, nearly all of the stimulus that’s going to provide Progress that’s going to get you larger and stronger goes to return from the minority of reps that you just carry out towards the tip of the set as you method [00:08:00] failure. And so then coming again to the query, which is mainly, are you able to simply do extra of this submaximal coaching the place you aren’t pushing near failure, this decrease depth coaching, are you able to simply enhance the variety of units that you just do?
To equate the amount by way of complete poundage, that may be the best way to do it. So by the tip of your session, you didn’t come near failure in any of your units. You left 4 and even 5 good reps nonetheless within the tank in each set, however you elevated the variety of units. So the whole poundage lifted is the same as what it might have been in case you would have taken your working units nearer to failure.
For those who would have finished the additional two or three and even 4 reps per set quite than the 4 reps per set. And so the reply is sure, that’s viable. That does work to a degree. It really works higher with power coaching, with pure power coaching, the place you’re actually simply making an attempt to get stronger and any muscle progress that happens is only a [00:09:00] byproduct of chasing the objective of getting stronger.
But when your main objective is to get larger and also you contemplate power as extra of a byproduct of getting larger muscle mass. So possibly you’re following a bodybuilding program or possibly you’re following a hybrid power and bodybuilding program, an influence constructing program. Because it’s often referred to, and all of my packages mainly that I’ve created are energy constructing packages, a little bit of pure power coaching, a little bit of bodybuilding, and so if you’re extra desirous about getting larger muscle mass than you’re in simply growing uncooked power, then you must know that hardly ever or by no means pushing even near failure, not to mention to failure in your working units.
might be going to provide inferior outcomes, produce much less muscle progress over time. Even if you’re equating quantity by simply growing the variety of submaximal [00:10:00] units that you just’re doing. And so in case your main objective is to get larger and your secondary objective is to get stronger, then I like to recommend taking your whole units shut ish to failure.
Wherever from zero good reps left to possibly three good reps left. And the three could be extra appropriate to your large compound workouts like your squat, your deadlift, your bench press, your overhead press, and your zero could be extra appropriate to isolation workouts with smaller muscle teams or truly simply isolation workouts usually.
Consider a leg extension, for instance, that’s coaching the quadriceps. That could be a large muscle group, however you may safely take that proper as much as failure. Zero good reps left. The place you may’t even end the ultimate rep of the set as a result of it will get so arduous with no threat, you’re not going to get harm doing that.
Whereas doing that on a barbell again squat is riskier, particularly when the weights get [00:11:00] heavy, particularly while you get stronger. I feel there’s a level. The place it isn’t well worth the threat except you’re a aggressive power athlete, and that’s simply a part of the sport, however in case you’re not, in case you’re simply an on a regular basis health club goer or a way of life bodybuilder, the dangers related to pushing your heavy units of your squat of your deadlift of your bench press of your overhead press to failure the place you may’t end the rep or possibly even Zero good reps left.
So that you end the set however you virtually missed it So the dangers related to coaching that intensely on these workouts usually are not well worth the negligible rewards in comparison with ending units with let’s say one or two or possibly even Three good reps nonetheless within the tank Now, that mentioned, the submaximal model of coaching that I used to be mentioning beforehand, the place you permit 4 plus good reps nonetheless within the tank [00:12:00] in each working set may be helpful if you’re feeling bodily or psychologically ragged, your motivation to coach is non existent and you actually need to skip the exercise.
Fairly than skip the exercise, how about you simply make it simpler and a simple method to make. A weightlifting exercise simpler is to go away extra good reps within the tank, extra reps in reserve in your working units. So quite than pushing arduous on that squat to, let’s say one or two good reps nonetheless in reserve, you finish every working set with 4 reps in reserve, or possibly even 5 reps in reserve.
You’re nonetheless utilizing heavy weight. You continue to are getting some quantity in, however it’s simply fairly a bit much less quantity. And people units are clearly a lot more easy. It’s going to really feel extra like a deload exercise or one thing in between a deload exercise and only a common exercise. And that may be [00:13:00] sufficient to take the sting off of the session and simply enable you get by means of it.
Okay, Daniel Mufti 1 asks, Mike, reaching 40 and now I really feel a little bit of hip ache, like a pinch. What do I do? So the very first thing I might suggest is to evaluate your decrease physique mobility and your flexibility. Flexibility turns into extra of a difficulty as we become older, particularly as we practice for longer durations of time and possibly we don’t have excellent motion patterns and we’ve developed some imbalances.
And so if you’re experiencing some hip ache, actually of any variety, I’ll wager that there are some vital deficiencies by way of mobility and adaptability which are contributing to the issue. And I’ve skilled this myself. For instance, I used to have considerably worse inner rotation on the left aspect of my hips than the best aspect of my hips, and that was inflicting low again ache.
Additionally, SI joint ache, significantly related to deadlifting. [00:14:00] And as soon as I labored on that and improved my inner rotation, That downside resolved. After which extra not too long ago, additionally on the left aspect of my physique, the tensor fasciae latae muscle, the TFL, has been aggravated. That may additionally piss off your SI joint as a result of it’s supposed to assist distribute the masses that you just place your physique below.
Correctly and evenly on each side of that joint. And that has been partially as a result of my hip adductors, ADductors, the muscle mass that deliver your legs towards the midline of your physique. have been fairly rigid. My, my butterfly stretch was fairly unhealthy. And so I’ve been engaged on that stretch for a number of months. I’ve gotten it a lot better and that has improved the TFL stress, which then has improved the SI joint perform and scenario, lowered the quantity of discomfort that I really feel after I do sure issues, sure positions, [00:15:00] it’s not at all times.
And likewise what has been serving to with the TFL is therapeutic massage. Along with that, the psoas muscle on my left aspect has been significantly aggravated and so therapeutic massage has been serving to that lots as properly. And so inside a few months, the SI joint saga will lastly come to an finish as soon as these few muscular points are resolved.
And this stuff occurred as a result of I used to be pushing it arduous in my coaching a while in the past, significantly with deadlifting. And the discomfort was growing and it was pushed by. These muscular points and I used to be being cussed and mainly simply ignoring the rising discomfort and making an attempt to stay to the plan and push for PRS and so forth.
And happily, there was no acute damage, however there was some extent the place I made a decision to cease ignoring the rising discomfort as a result of it may possibly result in an acute damage. And [00:16:00] usually, merely stopping what’s aggravating, no matter the issue is sufficient to resolve it. Typically you don’t must do anything, actually, you simply cease doing what’s inflicting the issue, and also you simply discover different workouts that don’t trigger the Aggravation of no matter space of the physique that we’re speaking about, or possibly on a scale of 10, it’s like at most a 3.
It doesn’t ever get to even ache. Possibly it’s simply slight discomfort. And also you do this for lengthy sufficient and the problem simply resolves itself. Nevertheless, that doesn’t at all times work. Generally you do want a particular intervention to get again to regular. Generally it’s therapeutic massage. Generally it’s stretching. Generally it’s bodily remedy.
And if an issue doesn’t simply resolve itself inside a few months, it’s sensible to begin trying into these interventions, and you can begin with issues you could simply do at dwelling, like stretching, like therapeutic massage, which generally you may [00:17:00] do your self with a therapeutic massage gun or a lacrosse ball, you may obtain the identical impact.
Generally, although, you want anyone to work on you since you simply can’t get to the affected tissue or the required tissue correctly. And so then if you find yourself making an attempt these completely different interventions, it’s necessary to know that you just’re in search of fast enhancements inside a few weeks of normal stretching or therapeutic massage or bodily remedy, no matter it’s, not main enhancements, however noticeable enhancements inside a few weeks.
For those who’ve been doing one thing persistently for a few weeks and also you’re not noticing any enchancment. It’s in all probability time to look elsewhere. It may very well be a special intervention or it may very well be a special muscle group that you have to goal or you have to embody in your routine. So in my case, engaged on the TFL therapeutic massage, it’s serving to.
Nevertheless, if I didn’t additionally deal with the adductor [00:18:00] challenge, it in all probability wouldn’t be sufficient. The issue would in all probability simply persist the place I might get just a little bit higher with the therapeutic massage after which just a little bit worse due to the adductor challenge and you may simply. Rinse and repeat that endlessly.

It’s sufficient to forestall a deficiency, however not sufficient to get among the potential advantages related to B. Increased ranges of vitamin C consumption one to 2 grams per day and the rationale I didn’t go together with one to 2 grams per serving of vitamin C in triumph is it’s already eight drugs per day to get a full clinically efficient dose of every thing that’s in it, which I might suggest splitting up into two doses of 4 separated by a number of hours after you eat meals.[00:23:00]
And eight drugs per day is already lots to ask.

We are going to wrap up right this moment’s episode shortly, however first I have to let you know a few new liposomal vitamin C complement that I take day by day from my sports activities diet firm. And why do I take this day by day? As a result of analysis exhibits that supplementation with liposomal vitamin C can assist immune perform, improve antioxidant safety, assist metabolic well being, enhance iron absorption, and extra.
And the way does it do all these issues? Vitamin C is an important nutrient that performs a vital position in many various bodily processes together with neurotransmitter manufacturing, collagen formation, antioxidant exercise, immune perform, wound therapeutic, and iron absorption. And whereas it’s simple to get sufficient vitamin C by means of your [00:34:00] weight-reduction plan to fulfill the beneficial every day allowance, the RDA of between 75 and 90 milligrams per day.
And in case you do this, you’ll forestall a deficiency. Analysis means that this will not produce optimum well being and longevity, particularly for energetic folks, which must be the last word objective with our diet assist, optimum well being and longevity. Subsequently, if you wish to preserve an consumption of at the least a number of hundred milligrams of vitamin C per day, which is advisable for a number of causes, particularly for energetic folks, that may be tough to do by means of weight-reduction plan alone as a result of it requires consuming.
a number of servings per day of meals that many individuals don’t eat or don’t actually wish to eat, together with citrus fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and extra. And in case you love these meals and eat lots of them, you is likely to be getting sufficient vitamin C. You is likely to be attending to a number of hundred milligrams per day simply by means of your weight-reduction plan.
However [00:35:00] many individuals, even individuals who eat properly, don’t. Additionally, it’s a must to needless to say Fruit and veggies usually comprise much less vitamin C than they did prior to now, and that meals processing strategies can take away as much as 50 p.c of the vitamin C from meals.
