Ep. #861: Q&A: Early Morning Training, BCAAs and EAAs, X3 Bar System, and More

This podcast is a Q&A, but it’s a bit different from the kind you’ll typically find here on Muscle For Life.In my usual Q&A episodes, I take a question from email or Instagram and then fully answer it in an episode of the podcast every week.However, over onInstagram, I’ve started doing weekly Q&As in the stories, and it occurred to me that many podcast listeners might enjoy hearing these questions and my short answers. So, instead of talking about one thing in an episode, I’m going to cover a variety of questions. And keep in mind some of these questions are just for fun. :)So if you want to ask me questions in my Instagram stories,follow me on Instagram (@muscleforlifefitness), and if I answer your question there, it might just make it onto an episode of the podcast!If you like this type of episode, let me know. Send me an email ([email protected]) or direct message me on Instagram. And if you don’t like it, let me know that too or how you think it could be better.Timestamps0:00 - Try Whey+ risk-free today!
