Changing Exercises, Workout Music, and Powerlifting Goals

In this episode, Kyle and Derek answer questions from listeners.    Questions on the show: I just recently started a new job and I'm out of town all week in a small town with no gyms. I work construction, 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week with Sunday's off. What is the best way to maintain strength, should I do bodyweight stuff during the week, and do a SBD session on Sunday? Is it possible to maintain or even gain strength with this schedule?  What are your thoughts on changing exercises every mesocycle? Is that too frequently or does it depend on your goal?   You guys talk about effort a lot, do you think certain exercises get sandbagged more than others? I'm thinking of RDLs for this, but I'm curious your thoughts.  I don't know if you have talked about this before, but what's your go-to workout playlist or music that gets you pumped for training? When you started competing in powerlifting, what was your initial goal and do you feel like you achieved it?    Hire Kyle as your coach: http://www.kylehuntfitness.com/services/   Connect with Kyle:  http://www.kylehuntfitness.com/ Instagram: @huntfitness YouTube: @HuntFitnessTV   Connect with Derek: @DerekCharlebois     Absolute Progress 2.0   Absolute Muscle    The Hunt Fitness FREE Flexible Dieting Manual   Bodybuilding For Beginners on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3etmDbp   Get 10% OFF PR Breaker Supplements DISCOUNT CODE: "HUNT" at https://www.prbreaker.com/discount/HUNT
