In this episode, PR Breker CEO Derek Charlebois, and I answer questions from my Instagram (@huntfitness). Some of the questions include the ins and outs of supplement manufacturing, intra-workout carbohydrate intake, assistance exercises, and more! Sit back, relax, and enjoy! Grab my new book, Strength Training for Beginners: https://amzn.to/2XBmRXV Hire Kyle as your coach: http://www.kylehuntfitness.com/services/ Questions on the show: My question is about training through pain. When you should, when you shouldn't? I have tennis elbow, should I just do bands or machines for rehab? It hurts anytime I do deadlifts, rows, and curls. Intra workout carbs. Thoughts on usefulness and implementation? What is the best and most challenging moment in your fitness journey so far? When does it become important to add in assistance exercises like front squat or close grip bench press? Is it as important to be in a caloric surplus for strength gains as it is for muscle growth? What are your thoughts on fitness trackers? I have been thinking about getting a Whoop Strap. A question about CrossFit – Since there is a lot to balance, conditioning, gymnastics, Olympic lifting, and strength training, how would you recommend breaking up your sessions? For example, would you do conditioning in the morning and lifting at night? What have you added to your training within the last year that made a big difference? Who if anyone did you look up to or follow when you first started working out? What are your thoughts on Supersets? Are they effective if so, how would you set them up? What are your top 3 favorite shows of all time? Will there be an NFL season this year? Who do you have this weekend at UFC 251, Usman, or Masvidal?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Sebastian Gonzales to talk about what to do if you experience back pain from lifting weights. Lower back pain is one of the most common issues people who lift weights have to endure. We have all been there. It can happen while pulling a heavy deadlift or reaching down to pick up a pencil, either way, back pain is no fun. The moments immediately after are critical. What is the first thing to do in the gym once it happens? What do you do the next morning? How can you tell if you need medical treatment? Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

In this episode, I go over 5 mistakes I made when I first got into training that you should avoid. When I was younger, I ate too much protein, did too much "junk volume", was a "chronic dieter", didn't emphasize performance enough, and did not use good technique. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

In this episode, I talk about Myo Reps and the book titled "Myo Reps The Secret Norwegian Method to Build Muscle in 70% Less Time" by Borge Fagerli. The book is a free pdf download you can get here: https://borgefagerli.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Myo-reps-E-book.pdf From Borge, "Myo-reps is, simplistically speaking, a rest-pause method and the most famous permutation of it is DC/Doggcrapp training. Most of you probably know how to perform a rest-pause set, and I didn't just reinvent the wheel here, I refined it building on research on hypertrophy in recent years." Here is how I set up Myo Reps: 1 set x 12-25 reps @9-10 RPE [Activation Set] Rest 3-5 big breaths between sets [5-15 seconds] 3-5 sets x 3-5 reps or 25-50% of Activation Set [Myo Reps] Myo Reps are best done with assistance movements. My favorites are push-ups, pull-ups, dips, dumbbell bench press, barbell curls, dumbbell side raises, etc. I recommend doing 1-2 exercises with Myo Reps in a workout.
