Alberto, Brad, and Brian answer audience-supplied questions about using straps vs. a mixed grip, starting a diet more aggressively vs. more conservatively, warming up, refeeds, training with only dumbbells, and a lot more. Can deadlifting with a mixed grip create muscular imbalances and/or lead to injury? At what age do most bodybuilders hit their max size? What are some strategies for putting on more muscle if you’re over 40? Why is it good to take a defensive approach when prepping? How many warm-up sets should you do for your heavier compound exercises? The answers to these questions and more are covered in this episode.

Are you tired of seeing in black and white? Are you too scared to try seeing in color? This isn't a political commentary podcast; it's a call to anyone who is tired of polarization.
