Andrea, Brian, and Alberto host an audience-supplied Q&A session. Topics range from programming, to lifting equipment, dietary strategies when trying to put on muscle, shifting your mindset towards recovery post prep, and more. With non barbell exercises, why would you do high reps if you can reach failure in a lower rep range easier and faster? How concerned should you be about time under tension? How do you incorporate RPE when doing drop sets, rest pause, and super sets? What are the coaches’ thoughts on lifting in shoes with an elevated heel? When is wearing shoes with an elevated heel beneficial? Can *everyone* recomp eating at maintenance? Who do the coaches recommend be in a slight surplus instead on eating at maintenance?
