Listener Q&A:

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick.

How To Get Muscular Legs

Luke says: I have always had a sticking point throughout my training career which is my legs. I am quite tall and it is very hard for me to put mass on my legs - not for a matter of trying! So I have been thinking of doing a cycle of SARMs and was wondering what approach to the training would you take to focus on building mass in my quads?

In my response, I recommend: -Safer Than Steroids? Your All-inclusive Guide To Gaining Muscle, Losing Fat & Much More With “SARMs” -A New & Potent SARMs Stack For Muscle-Building, Fat-Loss & Anti-Aging: How To Use MK-677 and RAD-140 -Why Steroids Will Slowly Kill You & 3 Safe Alternatives for Muscle Building, Speedy Recovery, Enhanced Drive and Beyond How To Test For Gut Inflammation

Chris says: How does one know they have gut inflammation? I am reading an article about coconut oil and I have been an a ketosis diet with great success. But lately I have been having gut fat and gut inflammation and it is really counterintuitive to the progress I am making. I am wondering if coconut oil is part of the issue.

In my response, I recommend: -The Dark Side Of Coconut Oil: A Cautionary Tale For Coconut Oil Extremists -NES Energy Medicine -Metametrix Ion Panel from GFS  -Three Day Gut Panel from GFS -What is Viome? Natural Ways To Increase Stem Cell Production

Warren says: I am trying to increase my body's stem cell production. Does algae help in this area?

In my response, I recommend: -My podcast with Shawn Stevenson "Lightning Speed Healing Hack or Overpriced Fad? What You Need To Know About Stem Cells" in which we include the following stem cell precursors:Platelet Rich Plasma injectionsOrthokine/RegenokinePhytoplanktonAloe Vera Gel (and research on medical aloe) –ColostrumChlorellaTransdermal MagnesiumCurcumin -SuperLife Book: The 5 Simple Fixes That Will Make You Healthy, Fit, and Eternally Awesome -Sacha Inchi protein -Brewable coffeefruit from Amazon -Podcast on Teloyears testing -Moringa plant extract -Resveratrol -My Pau D' Arco Bark Tea Should You Use Ice Baths & Antioxidants After A Workout?

Beni says: In a previous podcast you mentioned that it is not smart to take an ice bath and a bunch of antioxidants right after a hard workout because it can reduce the gains. So when should I do an ice bath and antioxidant supplement? Let's say I am doing a heavy lifting sessions and then the next two days I will be sore. Do I wait until the next day to take an ice bath and a big antioxidant smoothie?

In my response, I recommend: -Meriva Curcumin
