  • Q&A: Too Few Calories, Weight Loss with Low Energy, Getting Rid of Belly Fat, IF and Lifting

    Live Q&A: Ask me anything!

    Answered here:

    -“What happens if you eat too few calories”

    -“If you are not able to work out right now because of energy issues, is just a caloric reduction the best way to go to lose body fat?”

    -“How do you get unwanted weight off your belly?”

    -“What are your thoughts on Intermittent fasting? Do you see benefits of combining it with a 5x5 (StrongLifts app) weightlifting protocol. I also row for 15-20 minutes. I have done them separately but am considering combining them. I like the ease of IF vs counting macros or diet since I now pastor I don’t have much control of my diet when invited to a congregants house.”

  • Q&A: Substitutions for Bench, Clean Eating, Training Calves, Training Spread

    Live Q&A: Ask me anything!

    Answered here:

    -“Any replacement for the barbell bench press? As much as I like it, it hurts my right shoulder. I don’t ego lift, and my bench is relatively weak but it seems like every time after benching my right shoulder is hurting. Want to avoid a more serious injury.”

    -“If losing fat is all about calories in and out, why do some lifters eat a ton of clean calories and claim eating more “clean food” helps you to burn more fat? Like for example eating 6 oz chicken breast, greens, rice 4 times a day.”

    -“To grow my calves and make them bigger should I be doing 400 pound calf raises eight reps three sets or should I be doing 200 pounds for 12 reps with 4/5 sets?”

    -“What's the difference in training load and adaptation with a set of exercises in a workout, vs the same volume spread throughout the day? For example, say I do 4x10 sets of pullups in 8 minutes vs 4 sets of 10 every hour.”

  • Q&A: Do I Need to Count Macros, Lifting for Fat Loss, Protein Intake

    Answered here:  “It’s hard to meet my macros AND my calories. Is it ok to eat until I’m full and not count macros until my metabolism is high enough that I can eat more calories?”  “Lost almost 50 pounds counting calories. I want to keep losing fat but I want to gain muscle. It seems like that is nearly impossible to do at the same time. I'm running 5 miles 5 times a week and am getting faster and stronger as a runner. I'm three workouts into the starting strength program. Should I stop doing the starting strength program and just keep trying to lose weight and then start trying to gain muscle? Any advice?”  “What should my target daily protein intake be in comparison to my target weight when focusing on lean muscle mass?”

  • Q&A: How Much Water, Weight Training With No Safties, More.

    Answered here:


    -“I'm trying to drink more water. I keep hearing I need to drink a gallon a day. Do I count black coffee as part of my ounces or is that different?”

    -“I know you're a heavy weight guy, but I don't really have the setup for heavy weights. Is there a program, similar to the starting strength program, that focuses more on lighter weights and more reps? If not, what would that look like to you, using similar lifts? I have a bench and I can squat from it. I have Olympic barbell and weights. Bench has a little wobble to it but also I do not have safety bar/rack and no one to spot. So I have the equipment for major lifts?”

    “When are you going to run on a treadmill?!”
