#ListenerLive question #1 – How can I balance upper body volume with a serious focus on improving my bouldering (rock climbing) skills? (1:00:20)
#ListenerLive question #2 – I feel like I am stuck in not being able to gain muscle because I cannot physically eat more. What advice do you have for a situation like this? (1:08:46)
#ListenerLive question #3 – I feel that my body, while strong, is covered in a layer of fluff. I feel strong, but don’t feel the aesthetic is there. What advice do you have on what my week should look like with workouts, steps, cardio, lifting programs, and proper macros? (1:17:42)
#ListenerLive question #4 – Please help me figure out what to do about my nutrition! I'm so concerned that I'm going to lose this hard-earned muscle at my age, and in the thick of perimenopause. What's your advice on how I can get my act together? (1:28:30)
