Re: Best Warm-up Protocols for Cold Garages

Layer up heavily. Keep sweatpants and a hoodie on until your work sets. Keeping the ambient body heat contained is crucial.

Re: Conditioning Strategies for Superheavyweights

Keep it simple. Zone 2 cardio, roughly 120-135 BPM. You should be able to hold a conversation but still sweat.

Re: Cluster Sets vs Straight Sets for Hypertrophy

I find them a bit too taxing on the brain. I prefer just doing more sets of straight reps. Keep it simple.
