[00:00:00] Hey, that is Muscle for Life and I’m Mike Matthews. Thanks for becoming a member of me as we speak for one more Q& A episode the place I reply a bunch of questions that folks 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 can be fascinating or topical and reply them briefly there on Instagram and publish all the solutions as tales after which convey the whole lot over right here to the podcast the place I can reply the questions in additional element.
And so as we speak I might 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 take into account TRT? Underneath what circumstances would I am going on TRT? I even have a query relating to shoulder ache, particularly high of the shoulder ache and how you can tackle that.
Lengthy size [00:01:00] partial reps versus full vary of movement reps, which must you be doing? And why colostrum supplementation is it nearly as good as many individuals declare? Whey versus casein for muscle development and extra. Earlier than we wade into as we speak’s episode, I must inform you a few new liposomal vitamin C complement that I take each day from my sports activities vitamin firm, Legion.
And why do I take this each day? As a result of analysis reveals that supplementation with liposomal vitamin C can assist immune perform, improve antioxidant safety, assist metabolic well being, improve iron absorption, and extra. And the way does it do all these issues? Vitamin C is a vital nutrient that performs an important 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 straightforward to get sufficient vitamin C by means of your weight loss program to satisfy the beneficial each day allowance, the RDA, of between 75 and 90 milligrams per day, and in the event you do this you’ll forestall a deficiency, Analysis means that this may increasingly not produce optimum well being and longevity, particularly for lively individuals.
Which needs to be the last word purpose with our vitamin, assist optimum well being and longevity. Due to this fact, if you wish to preserve an consumption of at the very least a number of hundred milligrams of vitamin C per day, which is advisable for a number of causes, particularly for lively individuals, That may be tough to do by means of weight loss program 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 prefer to eat, together with citrus fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and extra.
And in the event you love these meals and eat a [00:03:00] lot of them, you may be getting sufficient vitamin C. You may be attending to a number of hundred milligrams per day simply by means of your weight loss program, however many individuals, even individuals who eat nicely don’t. Additionally, you need to Needless to say fruit and veggies typically include 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 principle the explanation why many well being aware individuals who eat nicely, like myself, additionally select to complement with vitamin C. Now why liposomal vitamin C reasonably than ascorbic acid or buffered vitamin C or one other type?
I do know it appears like advertising and marketing gibberish, nevertheless 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 reveals that this liposomal type of vitamin C is extra bioavailable than extra widespread varieties 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 meaning 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 further 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 the whole lot else within the retailer. If you wish to purchase the rest 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 purpose you don’t like our liposomal vitamin C or no matter else you [00:05:00] would possibly purchase, all you need to do to get your a reimbursement is simply tell us. After which we offers you your a reimbursement. You don’t even need to ship the stuff again to us.
So once more, go to buylegion. com slash vitamin C. Now attempt the liposomal vitamin C danger free. And whereas it can not bulletproof your immune system, it can not detoxify your physique, it may well assist your immune perform, it may well assist antioxidant safety, it may well assist metabolic well being, and it may well do these issues with out the upset stomachs or unfastened 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 possibly can do 8 or perhaps even [00:06:00] 9 reps with.
Reasonably than pushing proper as much as failure, perhaps 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 might be doing fairly a bit much less quantity by way of complete weight lifted or you possibly can have a look at it by way of complete reps.
Regardless that your complete units are the identical, the quantity of labor that you’re making your muscle tissue 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 convey you very near failure.
These units aren’t going to generate As highly effective of a coaching [00:07:00] stimulus as units that might convey you nearer to failure. So doing six, seven, and even eight reps per set with an eight ish rep max weight. And that’s essential 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 development than the primary half of the set, than the reps that you just do which can be straightforward 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 respect. It does generate a coaching stimulus.
Nonetheless, the vast majority of the stimulus that’s going to supply Progress that’s going to get you larger and stronger goes to come back from the minority of reps that you just carry out towards the top of the set as you method [00:08:00] failure. And so then coming again to the query, which is principally, 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 improve the variety of units that you just do?
To equate the quantity by way of complete poundage, that might be the way in which to do it. So by the top 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 overall poundage lifted is the same as what it might have been in the event 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 reasonably 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 might be actually simply making an attempt to get stronger and any muscle development that happens is only a [00:09:00] byproduct of chasing the purpose of getting stronger.
But when your main purpose is to get larger and also you take into account power as extra of a byproduct of getting larger muscle tissue. So perhaps you might be following a bodybuilding program or perhaps you might be following a hybrid power and bodybuilding program, an influence constructing program. Because it’s often referred to, and all of my applications principally that I’ve created are energy constructing applications, a little bit of pure power coaching, a little bit of bodybuilding, and so if you’re extra interested by getting larger muscle tissue than you might be in simply growing uncooked power, then it’s best to 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 supply inferior outcomes, produce much less muscle development 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 purpose is to get larger and your secondary purpose is to get stronger, then I like to recommend taking all your units shut ish to failure.
Anyplace from zero good reps left to perhaps three good reps left. And the three could be extra appropriate to your large compound workout routines like your squat, your deadlift, your bench press, your overhead press, and your zero could be extra appropriate to isolation workout routines with smaller muscle teams or truly simply isolation workout routines on the whole.
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 laborious with no danger, you’re not going to get damage doing that.
Whereas doing that on a barbell again squat is riskier, particularly when the weights get [00:11:00] heavy, particularly if you get stronger. I believe there’s a level. The place it’s not definitely worth the danger except you’re a aggressive power athlete, and that’s simply a part of the sport, however in the event you’re not, in the event you’re simply an on a regular basis fitness center goer or a life-style 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 perhaps 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 workout routines usually are not definitely worth the negligible rewards in comparison with ending units with let’s say one or two or perhaps even Three good reps nonetheless within the tank Now, that stated, the submaximal model of coaching that I used to be mentioning beforehand, the place you allow 4 plus good reps nonetheless within the tank [00:12:00] in each working set will 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.
Reasonably than skip the exercise, how about you simply make it simpler and a straightforward solution 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 reasonably than pushing laborious 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 perhaps 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 to 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 advocate is to evaluate your decrease physique mobility and your flexibility. Flexibility turns into extra of a problem as we become older, particularly as we prepare for longer durations of time and perhaps 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 sort, I’ll guess that there are some vital deficiencies by way of mobility and suppleness which can be contributing to the issue. And I’ve skilled this myself. For instance, I used to have considerably worse inside rotation on the left facet of my hips than the best facet 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 inside rotation, That downside resolved. After which extra not too long ago, additionally on the left facet 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 beneath.
Correctly and evenly on either side of that joint. And that has been partially as a result of my hip adductors, ADductors, the muscle tissue that convey your legs towards the midline of your physique. have been fairly rigid. My, my butterfly stretch was fairly dangerous. And so I’ve been engaged on that stretch for a number of months. I’ve gotten it significantly better and that has improved the TFL stress, which then has improved the SI joint perform and scenario, decreased the quantity of discomfort that I really feel once I do sure issues, sure positions, [00:15:00] it’s not all the time.
And in addition what has been serving to with the TFL is therapeutic massage. Along with that, the psoas muscle on my left facet has been significantly aggravated and so therapeutic massage has been serving to that quite a bit as nicely. 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 these items occurred as a result of I used to be pushing it laborious 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 principally simply ignoring the rising discomfort and making an attempt to stay to the plan and push for PRS and so forth.
And luckily, there was no acute damage, however there was a degree the place I made a decision to cease ignoring the rising discomfort as a result of it may well result in an acute damage. And [00:16:00] typically, merely stopping what’s aggravating, no matter the issue is sufficient to resolve it. Typically you don’t need to do the rest, actually, you simply cease doing what’s inflicting the issue, and also you simply discover various workout routines that don’t trigger the Aggravation of no matter space of the physique that we’re speaking about, or perhaps 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. Nonetheless, that doesn’t all the time work. Typically you do want a particular intervention to get again to regular. Typically it’s therapeutic massage. Typically it’s stretching. Typically it’s bodily remedy.
And if an issue doesn’t simply resolve itself inside a few months, it’s good to begin trying into these interventions, and you can begin with issues you can 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.
Typically, 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 when you’re making an attempt these completely different interventions, it’s essential to grasp that you just’re searching for 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 constantly for a few weeks and also you’re not noticing any enchancment. It’s most likely time to look elsewhere. It could possibly be a special intervention or it could possibly be a special muscle group that it’s essential goal or it’s essential embrace in your routine. So in my case, engaged on the TFL therapeutic massage, it’s serving to.
Nonetheless, if I didn’t additionally tackle the adductor [00:18:00] problem, it most likely wouldn’t be sufficient. The issue would most likely simply persist the place I might get a little bit bit higher with the therapeutic massage after which a little bit bit worse due to the adductor problem and you may simply.

We’ll wrap up as we speak’s episode shortly, however first I must inform you a few new liposomal vitamin C complement that I take each day from my sports activities vitamin firm. And why do I take this each day? As a result of analysis reveals that supplementation with liposomal vitamin C can assist immune perform, improve antioxidant safety, assist metabolic well being, improve iron absorption, and extra.
And the way does it do all these issues? Vitamin C is a vital nutrient that performs an important 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 straightforward to get sufficient vitamin C by means of your [00:34:00] weight loss program to satisfy the beneficial each day allowance, the RDA of between 75 and 90 milligrams per day.
And in the event you do this, you’ll forestall a deficiency. Analysis means that this may increasingly not produce optimum well being and longevity, particularly for lively individuals, which needs to be the last word purpose with our vitamin assist, optimum well being and longevity. Due to this fact, if you wish to preserve an consumption of at the very least a number of hundred milligrams of vitamin C per day, which is advisable for a number of causes, particularly for lively individuals, that may be tough to do by means of weight loss program 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 prefer to eat, together with citrus fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and extra. And in the event you love these meals and eat a whole lot of them, you may be getting sufficient vitamin C. You may be attending to a number of hundred milligrams per day simply by means of your weight loss program.
However [00:35:00] many individuals, even individuals who eat nicely, don’t. Additionally, you need to remember the fact that Vegetables and fruit typically include 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.
