Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

Ep. #569: Q&A: Positive Nitrogen Balance, the Problem with Sitting, and Losing Muscle from a Body Part


Listen Later

I’ve churned through over 150,000 emails, social media comments and messages, and blog comments in the last 6 years.

And that means I’ve fielded a ton of questions.

As you can imagine, some questions pop up more often than others, and I thought it might be helpful to take a little time every month to choose a few and record and share my answers.

So, in this round, I answer the following three questions:

- What is positive nitrogen balance?
- How bad is sitting?
- How can you lose muscle from specific body parts?

If you have a question you’d like me to answer, leave a comment below or if you want a faster response, send an email to [email protected].
