Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

Ep. #717: Q&A: Mouthguards, Compression Clothing, and Skipping Breakfast


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:

  1. Should I wear a mouthguard while lifting?
  2. How beneficial is compression clothing for muscle gain?
  3. Should I eat or skip breakfast?
  4. 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].
