Ep. #1158: Q&A: Minicuts, Squat & Deadlift Alternatives, Overcoming Fear of Rejection, & More


Listen Later

In this episode, I discuss the potential benefits of minicuts, the best alternatives to the squat and deadlift, how to overcome the fear of rejection, and lots more.

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!

If you like this type of episode, let me know. Send me an email ([email protected]) or direct message me on Instagram. And if you don’t like it, let me know that too or how you think it could be better.
