I hear about overtraining and that a workout should only be like 1hr- 1hr 30min. I do a regular push/ pull/ legs/ split with core every other day. I do my compound movements first than 2 lifts for each muscle. My first set is warm up than my next 2 are increased weight, my 4th and 5th set are all out followed by a 6th light set to failure. I take a 2-4min rest between each set. My lift sessions are about 2hrs to 2hrs 15min. Is this too much or not because of my rest periods? I like 2-in rests because anything less and I feel I get drained faster. Each set is between 38 sec- 1min. Thanks for any input

Jeff, long time fan first time shit talker. I noticed you said your goals are MUSCLE MASS and RECOMPOSITION, strength being your secondary goal. That being said, you chose the sumo style deadlift. We know that greater range of motion = greater time under tension and also more muscle fibre recruitment which leads to more muscle growth. That being true, why are you picking a movement ( sumo deadlift ) which has a TINY range of motion VS a clean grip deadlift, or a snatch grip deadlift which has the GREATEST muscle recruitment for total body engagement.

Jeff, you did a video a while back on a back workout video where you talked about a lat pre-activation to create a mind muscle connection and to increase blood flow to the muscles. When it comes to heavy compound movements I find that I am able to lift heavier for more reps after doing a muscle pre-activation for example: push-ups before doing my bench, or some box jumps before doing my squat. Not sure if you can do a video where you explain ways of doing a muscle pre activation for the various body body parts and maybe a more in-depth science behind it.

any chance you can do a video on how you prep for squat addressing how you work /warm up your mobility and increase /maintain flexibility and what whatever pointers you might have to diagnose and address before you actually hit that squat? i've seen you do warm up with the dynamic stretching but it would be helpful to address things like tight ankles, posterier tilt, shoulders, toes turning out and how you might address those after a quick diagnostic. keep up to the great work

Totally right about using oats as a carb source pre workout. I'm diabetic so I have to keep a close eye on my carb intake and blood glucose and I have found that oats and a banana are the best carbs for sustained energy throughout a workout. Even rice cannot generate the same energy levels for me. Also the low GI of oats is great for keeping my blood glucose in a healthy range.

Hey Jeff - at 3: 00 minutes you mention getting light headed during your workout - could you please assist me in finding more studies on this as it effects me drastically, I'm almost always nausea's and light headed during my workouts and it's very overwhelming. I have been unsuccessful in pin pointing what the issue is. Thanks

Yo Jeff just want to point out that you're tilting your hips to your left a lot when you come off the bottom position on the squat, maybe you have a bad right knee and that's your body compensating or your right leg is weaker. who knows, just wanted to tell you in case you're not aware of this so you can possibly fix it; )

Hey Jeff I wanted to see if you have any opinions on certain fitness apps. Many people use My Fitness Pal but I never got into it. I instead played around and use, Argus (which is just another app, but its aesthetically pleasing and easier to see and track for me. But i assume its all to personal preference.

With an upper lower split how do you split up your squats and dead-lifts on lower days? When I was doing a upper/lower split I would do both on the same day (not the smartest) and this would lead to exhaustion/CNS getting overloaded. Just was curious how you/people on this sub split them up.
