Ep. #1097: Q&A: High Cholesterol in Fitness, Balancing Cardio and Bulking, Effective Training Splits, & More


Listen Later

What's the best workout split? Is high cholesterol a problem even if you're in shape? Should you incorporate cardio while you're bulking?

In this episode, I take on these questions and more, sourced from my Instagram followers who participate in my regular Q&A posts.

As always, these questions come directly from my Instagram followers, who take advantage of my weekly Q&As in my stories. If you have a question you're dying to have answered, make sure you follow me on Instagram (@muscleforlifefitness) and look out for the Q&A posts. Your question might just make it into a podcast episode!
