In this episode, Derek and I catch up after a two-week break and answer questions from listeners. 

 

Questions on the show:

  1. In regards to doing squat and deadlift where you normally hold your breathe through the movement to brace. Do you do the same breathing pattern when your doing high rep work? When I'm working in a low rep range I have no problem. Breath in at the top, Brace, All the way down, All the way up, exhale, repeat. But when I do high rep, I get gassed doing this. Almost like when you try to blow up a bunch of balloons too quick. Should I do something different or do I just need to keep the same breathing pattern and get used to the high reps?
  2. I am getting back into lifting after taking a few years off. At my peak I was using PEDS and relatively well built. Since then I’ve shrunken up a bit but going back to my old routines I feel some size coming back quicker then I though just with proper diet and training. I’m interested what your approach would be for a veteran lifter in my situation. Is muscle memory a real thing, and if it is, what is the best approach to take advantage of it
  3. What is your advice for finding maintenance calories after a cut? Add in say one more meal or adjust macros within current meals to bring calories up to a more comfortable range?
  4. I’m dialed in 90% of the time but weekends with the wife gets tricky. If I end up hitting my cutting calories for the day but am lacking protein, would you slam a shake end of day or just be happy you stayed within your calories?
  5. Can autoregulation negate the need for a deload? At what point in one’s training career can autoregulation become a viable tool?
