Q&A (1:28:33)

  • I’m on a 2-week vacation. How bad could fat gain/muscle loss be? (1:28:43)
  • Thoughts on high sodium for strength sports? (1:35:33)
  • Can athletes get around the negative effects of high sugar consumption because they are more active? (1:43:43)
  • I am a fitness instructor, and I have a female client who wishes to lose weight. I tried putting her on a caloric deficit, but she is not losing weight. Is it because she is lying about her diet or there might be other external factors? (1:49:03)
  • Simple question(s): recognizing needs will vary by person, how critical is adequate sleep to gains? To body comp? And are negative effects more acute or chronic? (2:02:08)
  • Much of sport science studies are conducted on young males. Are there any studies/areas in particular that we have reasons to think female physiology would give different results? (2:13:10)
  • Is there anything within the industry that Greg and Eric fundamentally disagree on? (2:24:08)
  • If there is to be another major breakthrough in powerlifting training, which area of training do you see it being? (2:24:31)
