  • #320: Q&A Session 32

    Alberto, Brad, and Brian answer audience-supplied questions about periodization, warm-up sets, coming back from injuries, recomping, competing, and more. If someone doesn’t want to compete and just wants to build an impressive physique over time, do they need to periodize their nutrition and training? What made Brad and Alberto come to the conclusion that they were ready to compete? What criteria does a set need to meet for the coaches to count it towards their volume for the week? How often do the coaches program an intentional surplus? How do you come back from an injury and trust your body again when you are terrified of reinjuring yourself? What is the best way to prepare for your consultation with a 3DMJ coach? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.

  • #319: What Supplements Do You Take?

Why is it important to have realistic expectations for the supplements you choose to take? If you’re supplementing with creatine but you don’t feel it working, does that mean it’s not working?

  • #317: Is The Mind-Muscle Connection Overrated?

    Alberto, Jeff, and Brad discuss what the mind-muscle connection is, how important it is for muscle growth, who can benefit the most from focusing on it, and what you can focus on instead. Does the speed of your reps matter? Why is Jeff intentional about maintaining control of the weight when he’s lifting? What are the coaches’ thoughts on stricter reps versus less-strict reps? What do the coaches think about when they’re training and the intensity of the burning sensation is building? What can you think about so that your sessions don’t feel like you’re just checking things off a list? What are some signs that an exercise is a good fit for you? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.

  • #316: Maintenance Phases in Bodybuilding

    Brian, Alberto, and Brad discuss the benefits of maintenance phases, why they are sometimes superior to gaining phases, and what to consider when setting your rate-of-weight-gain goal. Why do the coaches program less intentional surpluses than they used to? What is the difference between weight maintenance and progress maintenance? Are DEXA scans helpful for programming? How do elite powerlifters put on muscle while minimizing fat gain? If you gain 30 lbs. and your dumbbell bench press goes up 15 lbs., is that progressive overload? Do the coaches ever have athletes do dreamer bulks anymore? In what situations do the coaches tend to program an intentional surplus instead of a maintenance phase? The answers to these questions and more are covered in this episode.

  • #315: The Identity Trap of Bodybuilding

    Jeff, Brian, and Brad discuss how a person’s identity as a bodybuilder can change across their training career, why it’s important to see yourself as more than just a bodybuilder, and how having a limited identity can ultimately hold you back. What was Jeff’s relationship with bodybuilding like when he was in his 20s and why does he consider it “ugly”? What did Brad’s life look like when he was too obsessed with bodybuilding? What advice would Brian give his 16-year-old self? How can a person’s identity interfere with them being able to tone things down and have a more balanced approach? How can being hardcore actually be a symptom of being insecure? Why is it important to not tie your identity to a particular type of training? The answers to these questions and more are covered in this episode.

  • #314: Training Modifications During a Diet

    Alberto, Eric, and Jeff discuss autoregulating your training while dieting and how learning to autoregulate your training is vital if you want to get the most out of yourself. How do the coaches help their athletes develop the skill of being able to autoregulate their training? How can a person’s personality influence the way they autoregulate their training? How necessary are deloads? How has Eric’s opinion on deload frequency changed? Can a person develop more grit? Why is it beneficial to expose yourself to lifters who have different perspectives than you? What is the best training split? What was Alberto’s biggest lesson from his last prep? Why are “autoregulation” and “intuitive training” *not* the same thing? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.

  • #312: The Mentality Required to Finish a Bodybuilding Prep

    Brad, Jeff, and Brian discuss the mindset an athlete needs to have to successfully complete a bodybuilding prep and to feel good about the end results, whatever they are. What motivates the coaches to continue to execute when things get hard? How does Jeff utilize comparison to make prep feel easier? Why does getting weaker not necessarily mean you’re losing muscle? Why is training in higher rep ranges when you’re depleted maybe not the best idea? Should you proactively change your training when you start prep? What is Brad’s advice on what to do to help you feel better during those times you don’t feel good about the way you look? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
