Q&A 110: Daylight Savings, Processed Foods, Front Squats, Overtraining & Stubborn Calves
from Stronger Than Your Boyfriend · host Barpath Fitness
In this episode, we answer five questions from our listeners:(0:51) Permanent daylight savings time & your health — Why the push to lock in DST could wreck your circadian rhythm, sleep, and mornings (and why sleep experts are against it). (10:43) How much processed food is okay? — There's no magic number. Prioritize whole foods, but context matters: your health markers, budget, access, and whether the question is really about diet perfectionism.(13:24) Can't hold the bar for front squats? — Skip the crossover grip and don't avoid them. Build front rack mobility with light holds, work fingers under the bar gradually, or use towels/straps as a bridge.(17:13) Am I doing too much in my workouts? — Signs of overtraining: disrupted sleep, joint pain, feeling run down. (Spoiler: if you're asking, you probably are.) (19:36) How to grow stubborn calves — Calves respond to lots of time under tension and higher reps. Got a question for a future Q&A?
