Any advice for reverse dieting? I know someone that seems to be unable to lose more than a few kilos when in a calorie deficit, is that the solution?

Nicholas Masman:

This was asked on the forums a while back, sorry I don’t remember by who!

If one has GST goals only, what is the purpose of strength cycles?

From my uneducated perspective, it seems more efficient to just go Mass -> Skill -> repeat.

Are strength cycles a learning experience in macro 1, or is there something more they add?

Thanks!

Robert Burtchell:

I’ve seen y’all promote using the mass cycles for fat loss and Mike Isratael talk about basic hypertrophy blocks being used for fat loss. What’re your thoughts on MRT where you train in a circuit fashion but still get roughly two-three minutes of rest between specific sets? So incline press, rows, squats, and hinge. Rest 30-60 repeat? How would this affect muscle growth as well in non fat loss phase? Would one just not be able to use the correct loads for 12-15/5-10?

I’ve read the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA) and many countries now permit the use of CBD oil. What are Pros and Cons of using this substance and do you recommend it for fitness athletes who seek the alleged benefits for muscle recovery, inflammation, minor pain management, etc.?

Ji Eun Lee:

I want to have perfect overhead mobility for ohp/handstand. Doing the stretches in the routine helped initially and I have improved my mobility from when I started, but I feel like I am stuck and haven’t made any progress for months. At best right now I can do wall extensions and move my arms around 20-30 degrees from the right-angled starting position: |_o_| (arms & head)

How do I assess which muscle is holding me back and improve it faster?
