In this episode, I answer questions from my Instagram @HuntFitness. Questions on the show: What are your thoughts on UFC 249 getting canceled? Do you think the NFL season will happen on time? What are your thoughts on Tom Brady going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? When do you think gyms will open back up? What is the best way to train arms with minimal equipment at home? As a powerlifter with no access to weights and really no space to put any, what should I do to help ease the transition to the gym when they open back up? Since my gym closed I have been lacking motivation, do you have any recommendations to help increase motivation to still train? What is the best at-home exercise that no one is doing? What are your top 3 favorite bodyweight or minimal equipment ab exercises? What is the most embarrassing moment you have had in the gym or working out? What is your go-to pre/post workout meals and do you recommend consuming anything during your workouts? What are your thoughts on greens products? Do you recommend creatine for someone doing CrossFit style workouts? Powerlifting and Jiu-Jitsu seem to be a popular combo. How might a lifter go about incorporating grappling sports into his/her training without negatively effecting strength gains? When bulking is it better to go high carb and lower fat or does it not really matter? How are you personally using this time to better yourself?

Ep 261: Getting Jacked with Prison Workouts
In this episode, I go over two bodyweight focused training books - Jailhouse Strong by Josh Bryant and Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade. Even if you don't have any workout equipment to use at home, progress can still be made using just your bodyweight. The key is knowing which exercises to use and how to implement progressions and regressions to meet you at your current abilities. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Ep 260: Adapting to Life at Home | Working, Training, and Eating feat. Derek Charlebois
In this episode, Derek and I answer questions from my Instagram @huntfitness. Sit back, relax and enjoy! Questions on the show: 1. I know you have been working from home for a long time, I just recently started due to the Coronavirus. Do you have any tips or tactics on how to maintain productivity while working from home? 2. What are you doing with the extra free time while at home during the quarantine? 3. When you first started training, what was your strongest exercise and what muscle group responded best to training? 4. Do you think it's actually possible to gain muscle and/or strength with only bodyweight workouts at home? 5. I just competed in my first powerlifting meet and loved it. To get better, I know I need to build muscle, but my body fat has also crept up a bit. How would you prioritize building muscle while also lowering body fat during my offseason? What should I focus on first? 6. A lot of people have been posting about doing home workouts during this crisis, but what about nutrition? Do you recommend changing your nutrition at all? 7. I know you did a podcast on bodyweight training last week, but do you have any outside of the box ideas for at-home workouts?
