I think starting with GS/C I and doing whatever you want to do after that is a great call. Let us know how it goes!...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I'd remove the last week from the first two phases for this application....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I think it could be a viable option, though I can't say for certain it would be better than Strength I. I do think the programming info is valuable, but...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

There are hundreds, if not thousands (probably more) inputs that influence performance. Things like:

-training history
-current training...

I think you should follow your dermatologist's recommendations. Fortunately, there are many suitable replacements for protein from dairy....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

A high sodium intake in the demographic you describe increases risk of ASCVD. Better and better evidence continues to show that reducing sodium intake...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I don't think so, as the window where MPS rates are elevated wanes to ~ 24 hours (maybe even shorter) in trained individuals. I don't think I can confidently...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I don't plan on doing a programming "course" within the next year, but we will likely have a book on programming, a certificate program for...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I would probably split that up, yes....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you clarify?...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I don't think 5-10lbs is bad over 6 months in comparison, as the relative gain is likely similar.

I think all of our strength programs place...

Most 4' sections of 5/8" chain weigh ~ 23-25lbs. 20%1RM in chain weight means, only use about 20% of your 1RM in chains. You rate your RPE the same...

A macro calculator is a bit different than a Calorie calculator. For energy intake, I'd recommend the NIH bodyweight planner....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I would expect to see a demonstrable increase in performance if your performance was increasing, e.g. you should be able to lift more weight if your ability...

VK18,

1) That's fine.

2) I don't think you need more volume, but rather to work on your bench technique and execution during...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I would not change the Beginner template in that part of the program. It has exposure to higher RPE sets by design and I don't think we should be avoiding...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I would recommend doing the conditioning listed in the program, yes....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

No, as there are many intensities that will generate strength and muscle CSA increases. Rather, there appears to be a "cap" on hypertrophy stimulation...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Yes, they are....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

There is no general rule of thumb here, but typically somewhere in the last 1-2 blocks. To be clear, I don't think this matters much in the grand scheme...
