Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

Ep. #1127: Q&A: Salt Water Benefits, Lifting Facial Expressions, HIT Training, Bulking Hunger, & More


Listen Later

Should you feel hungry while bulking, or feel stuffed from the calorie surplus? 

Are there benefits to starting your morning with salt water? Should you train the same way in your 40s as you did in your 20s? 

In this episode, I'll explore these topics and many more, giving you the insights you need to adjust your fitness routine effectively while ensuring long-term health and performance.

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!
