• #ListenerLive question #1 - My goal is just to be healthy and have a healthy body percentage for my age. I started the year with a proper cut and brought my calories down to 2000 from 2400. I recently had a DEXA scan that told me that I was 30% body fat. How can I get to my goal of being at a healthy body fat percentage and am I going about it the right way? (50:03)

• #ListenerLive question #2 – Is it ok or is it beneficial to adapt the MAPS 15 Minutes programming to other MAPS programs? (1:05:26)

• #ListenerLive question #3 – With my current programming my back is still sore from deadlifts by the time I get to squat day. There have been multiple times now that I go for my first warm up set of back squats and my back immediately locks up and is in insane pain which cuts my workout short because I can’t continue doing squats or any hip hinge movements. Is there something else I could be doing differently to avoid experiencing this so often? (1:12:59)

• #ListenerLive question #4 – What type of workouts should I try to avoid or focus on when dealing with sciatica pain? (1:19:06)
