Ep. #714: Q&A: Deload Timing, Birth Control and Performance, and Popular Exercises I Don’t Like

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. How do you determine when you need to deload?
   
2. Does birth control hurt athletic performance?
   
3. What popular exercises do you like and don’t like and why?
   

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 mike@muscleforlife.com.
