150th LIVE Q&A w/ TJ & Alex COVID-19 Initial Thoughts, deloading, reloading, squats and more....

The old band got back together to answer questions from our Rugby Muscle Athletes Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/747438958657780/Obviously the COVID-19 crisis was discussed, but this was early on Friday.Here are the questions?Difference if any between a box squat and a back squat with resistance bands for power production? Or just personal preference for body type/levers ect.Any advice for days when you get to the gym and your body isn’t quite right and ready for a full session. Could be from lack of recovery or a physically demanding day of work etc? Last time this happened to me I did the same moves but lifted lighter weights and increased my reps, was this a good idea if not what could I do?Secondly what is deloading? When, why and how should it be done? Heard you mention it before but not familiar with the term myself.CheersI’m trying time figure out if I am having loading issues or tracking issues with my Knee. What would be some effective exercises to build my inner quad, without over loading my patellar tendon?Funniest thing you`ve seen on a rugby field?it has probably been asked before (not sure) - I don't take any supplements, tried some for a while but did not feel any benefit, so I think it's a bit of a wast of money. I do watch my food quite well instead of supplements. Do you think this is a good approach or do you regard some supplement as absolutely necessary?oh and another one - I twisted my finger two weeks ago (it's not broken but swollen, red and blue and so on). I know the right thing would be to stop training/rugby a few weeks, but I can't really (as probably most of you too ;)). What would you do? Tape it up and keep on training and risk that it takes longer to heal or take a few weeks break and wait for it to heal properly... (btw. my Rugby Coach now told me to stop for at least a week so I don't have a choice anyway right now...)Support the show
