You could try egg protein, beef protein, or even pea protein!

Rows engage more muscles, but running is more pure cardio. For just cardio, running is better....but rowing is more of a full body workout.

Hey Raynor.

I would like to try to live for a month on a strict meat(no eggs, fish, meat) and dairy free diet that covers all the needed micros just to see any difference. Just for an experiment. Do you have one up your sleeve?

Hi Ray,

I would like to know if there are certain times a day which is better to work out to improve study and work productivity (office job) without the use of caffeine (I think I need to cut back because pushing 300-400mgs a day).

Work offers great flexibility so I can work out whenever. Should I do twice a day or just once? and if so when? Also does cardio improve productivity or nah? I don't really do cardio rn but would be happy to add it in if it helps me have more energy.

Also I have a sit/stand desk. Should I stand or sit (for productivity not necessarily health).

Thanks so much as always.

Working out first thing in the morning is best for energy throughout the day. Cardio and/or Weights are both important for energy. Standing is superior, but you can alternate between them.

Hey Raynor, more questions for ya!

I've been on a pretty strict plan now for going on 3 months, and I've seen improvement in every aspect of my lifting.. But it's still so out of proportion, I'm becoming more and more self conscious about my bench.. My lifts are:

Squat: 365
Pull: 420 with NO form breakdown 'I've pulled 435 with some thoracic curving'
Bench: 205
^^ =(

I'm seeing improvements on my bench, seeing as I couldn't hit 185 3 months ago for a single, and now I can do 170 for sets of 8..

I guess what I'm asking is will it always be this out of proportion? Or should I make more time to train bench?

I'm doing the Wendler 5/3/1, and I just recently within the 2 months or so started training accessories and hammering my triceps and back strength..

Thanks man

I just have a curious question.

Muscular dystrpohy you lose muscle, so why doesn't working out counter that? I mean logically working out builds muscle, so doesn't lifting weights counter the disease?

Hey raynor.

Just wondering your thoughts on asthma.

I've had chronic asthma as I was a child, 3 different coloured inhalers and other medication, but I've been reading that you can so to speak out grow asthma as the airways and lungs grow and expand as you age. Have you heard anything about this? I definetly don't experience any chronic asthma or anything if the sort, But sometimes I do feel I should be running longer or improving faster regarding cardio training and my breathing. I find it very hard to breath in the nose and out the mouth and rather just breathe in and out of the mouth. I also find it very hard to control breathing and succumb to taking gasps of air during runs. At the same time I don't feel any shortness of breath(that I know of) or pain in breathing during cardio or any other time. My reason for asking is im very reluctant to visit the doctor and wanted some solid advice /knowledge first.

Thanks in advance!

Everyone is naturally built differently, however you can definitely do things to improve the bench. You can train bench 2-3x per week, and continue the 5/3/1 training as usual. You also can focus on some negative reps with a spotter in order to force some adaptation to higher weight.
