Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews
Health & Fitness:Fitness
How do you fix a crashed metabolism? Should you eat more than your TDEE while bulking on non-exercise days? Are resistance bands as effective as free weights over a short duration?
In this episode, I dive into these questions and a lot more, all sourced from my audience who regularly participate in my Q&A posts.
As always, these questions come directly from my Instagram followers, who take advantage of my weekly Q&As in my stories. If you have a question you're dying to have answered, make sure you follow me on Instagram (@muscleforlifefitness) and look out for the Q&A posts. Your question might just make it into a podcast episode!
