It is once again time for our Monthly Instagram Q&A episode.
September 2024 edition. This month we cover 18 questions. Notable
highlights are a protein bar that might actually be worth giving
your macros, and combating overwhelm from all the new content
constantly released from the evidence based community. Thanks for
listening!

Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro & Updates
00:12:20 -What are your views on the cost/benefit of truly
fighting for that final rep. Face contorting, bar speed slows or
stops, and you have to grind 3-5 seconds just to complete the
rep?
00:24:35 A fun experiment would be for Aaron to follow Bryan’s
programming and Bryan to follow Aaron’s for a couple
months. 
00:28:42 How would you design a leg day for an intermediate
hypertrophy client who only wants to train legs once per week and
upper 3x per week?
00:31:38 Any interest in the new Voltra cable attachment Kas
showed? Especially if they update resistance profiles. If you go
to N1, can you compare it to the prime smart cam/torque arm in
feel? 
00:34:55 How do you combat overwhelm with all of the new content
constantly coming out from the evidence based community?
Specifically podcast and YouTube, it’s impossible to keep
up.
00:39:35 How to assess training and nutrition when entering a new
and more stressful stage of life. Started school again and weight
shot up despite not changing training or food.
00:42:53 How many hours of cardio per day hits the threshold for
endurance training? 
00:45:35 Thoughts on influencers feeling healthier when eating
food in Europe? 
00:52:05 Does downhill running/walking have any
benefits? 
00:53:03 Thoughts on Peter Attia’s “David Protein”
Bars. 
00:56:02 Are step ups, Bulgarians, lunges, and single leg press
too similar to put more than one in a lifting session?
00:58:20 If you stopped tracking macros, what would your diet
framework be?
01:01:42 Do spikes in blood sugar in non-diabetics cause skin or
health issues?
01:03:40 How would you approach workout design for an elite
swimmer?
01:05:41 Do you think there’s a point where DOMS can be too
extreme and only have negative impacts?
01:08:30 What would the 2021 version of you guys say to the 2024
version about Hybrid Training?
01:12:14 Ideal weight gain rate during a build phase?
01:17:30 Any recommendations or readings you’d suggest on mindset
or processes?
