Between 2 Racks Rapid Fire Q&A: Linear for Body Comp, Pelvic Tilt, Hip Flexors, 3x Per Week & More
In this week’s Rapid Fire Q&A, the KILO crew returns post-breakfast and caffeinated for a deep, unfiltered dive into viewer submitted questions.
We kick things off with an in-depth breakdown of how to structure hypertrophy and fat loss using the linear model—when it works, when it doesn’t, and why our specialization models demand more thoughtful progression than just cranking volume over time.
Next, we dive into the “glute bias everything” trend that’s dominating social media and training culture. We unpack the consequences of over-prioritizing glutes at the expense of quads, knee health, and full-range training—highlighting why balance, structural alignment, and tendon strength matter far more than internet aesthetics.
Other topics include:
- Why your hip flexors feel weak—and how to fix it
- Progressions for correcting anterior pelvic tilt
- How posture shapes exercise selection
- If C-series lifts move up, does your warm-up change?
- Strength standards by sport and how RFD shifts training
- Advanced lifters training 3x/week, with variations based on male vs. female physique goals
- Programming for athletes on gear
- Floating heel exercises—useful or unnecessary?
