Iron Sights #98 - Q&A: Salt In Your Water, Best Aesthetic Results, Overcoming Caffeine, RDF Strong, Pre-Workout Dynamics & Fitness Algorithms
Welcome back to Iron Sights! Today we're switching it up - our producer fielded your questions from Instagram and YouTube so that we could answer them all live on the show. CeCe English, Stephen Brenna & Jeff Chenault joined me to answer:
Timestamps
00:00 Intro
01:23 Why do people put salt in their water? I’ve heard it’s good for hydration but what’s the actual benefit?
07:20 I’ve done 1 set of max pull ups and 1 set of max push ups per day for the past two months. I feel great and have been getting stronger. I’m not interested in learning a ton of exercises, I just want to do a few movements every day. If you had to pick 2 exercises to do everyday to get the best aesthetic results would they be push ups & pull ups? Just want confirmation I’m on the right path. Love the show! Appreciate it.
11:15 I drink a lot of caffeine. 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning and an energy drink in the afternoon. I’m not sure how many mg in total but it’s a daily habit at this point. What are the long term effects and what are some tips for kicking this caffeine addiction?
20:30 I was a beast in the gym when I was younger but it’s been about 10 years since I followed a legit program. Is it a bad idea to jump into RDF strong or is there anything you have that’s good for out of shape athletes who want to get it back?
26:56 What are the health benefits of Magnesium?
30:34 Been listening to the show for almost a year and love the Monday episodes. Question for Jeff & CeCe, what does your personal stretching and mobility routine look like? Do you work it in with your workouts or do you have specific days for mobility?
39:40 I follow a lot of fitness pages on Instagram and have been hearing a lot of the same stuff like: eat more protein, sugar is bad for you etc. Why does my feed look the same as it did last year?
