This week we are back with another monthly edition of the Instagram Q&A episode format. This is definitely a favorite recurring format that we will continue to do.

The questions covered this week:

Training with slow perfect reps with stretch/contract versus fast explosive reps with more weight?
What courses do you feel a trainer should do or the best ways to educate himself?
Do you think there is a per-session training stimulus that must be achieved within that given in order to see gains in hypertrophy? For example, is it possible that one could experience faster gains by doing 3 sets in one session rather than 1 set spread out over 3 days of the week?
From a beginner's standpoint, would it be more beneficial to focus on the big lifts? If so, what role would machines and cables play in a beginner's workout plan?
If one’s diet consists of beef/chicken would adding fats from nuts be beneficial?
What are examples of metabolic training?
Optimal quad hypertrophy 2x/week programming?
After a 12-week cut, is it better to do a maintenance phase or start a lean bulk?
Short/intense full-body session almost every day? Like 2 sets per body part in different splits?
I like benching for hypertrophy, but seems like everyone on the internet is saying it’s terrible?
How do you determine whether the arm path of a given exercise is good or bad and lines up with joints?
Do either of you do one-off consults, or just pay for an hour of your time?

Thanks for listening!
