New Powerbuilding Program: Absolute Progress 2.0: https://kylehuntfitness.shop/collections/programs/products/absolute-progress

Questions on the show:

Q1: A question I have for you that I've been thinking of, that might actually be a good podcast question. How do you maintain your passion and approach to training and nutrition at this point? Having three kids, you're still super consistent with it. I know having a health and physique-oriented business plays a big part, but otherwise, would you be as committed as you are now? Just something I've been wondering as I've gotten older. Like you, my life was all about training through my twenties, but it has waned a bit to an extent as I've hit 30. Just trying to light that fire back up!

Q2: Hey man I have a question for you. Do you know of any research on the effects of not drinking enough water while supplementing with creatine? This is never talked about so I am curious. Q3: What is the best way to measure progress when in a gaining phase? Q4: I know you love upper/lower splits, but I feel my upper body doesn't get enough attention on an upper/lower split. What can I do to work around that? Q5: If the volume is equated, how beneficial is frequency for building muscle?

315: Is Flexible Dieting the Best Diet for Fat Loss, Volume Cycling, and Influencer Boxing Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I answer questions about my favorite fat loss diet, how I use volume cycling in my training, influencer boxing, and more. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Questions on the show:

Q 1: Hey Kyle, I know you generally promote flexible dieting, but do you think it's the best diet for fat loss?

Q 2: I have heard you mention on the podcast that for muscle growth you need between 10-20 sets per muscle group per week to maximize muscle development. My question is, does it ever make sense to do more or less volume than that?

Q 3: It seems like a lot of fitness influencers are either training to run a marathon or taking up boxing. I'm not saying I want to run that much or get in the ring to fight, but I would like to add some of that style of training into my program. My question is, what would be the best way to do that while not losing my gains?

Q4: I have been bodybuilding training for a few years, but recently became interested in powerlifting. What is the best way for someone to get started?

Q5: I have been training for 5 years and my upper body is pretty developed but I feel like my arms are lagging behind. My question is, how do I get my arms to catch up to the rest of my upper body?

313: Different Ways Food Companies Try To Trick You feat. Derek Charlebois Aug 16, 2021

Show notes

Free Powerlifting Program: https://kylehuntfitness.shop/collections/programs/products/essential-strength

Questions on the show:

Q1: I am looking for a program that I can use for my son who is 1 and homeschooled. I need a strength training/weight lifting course that he can do as a high school elective. It needs to be 4-5 hours per week. Do you know of anything already put together to accomplish this, or what would you recommend?

Q2: Hey Kyle, do you have any tips for training in a hot gym during the summer? The gym I train at doesn't have AC and I feel like my workouts are suffering. I know you train in your garage so I thought you might have some suggestions.

Q3: This isn't a question, but I think it would make a good topic for a podcast. Can you talk about food labels and the different ways companies try to trick you? For example, sometimes the macros and calories don't add up or the label says no sugar added but there is still sugar in the product, etc.

312: How to Choose a Weight Class in Powerlifting [Q&A] Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I answer six questions sent in by listeners of the show. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Questions on the show:

1: Hey Kyle, I have been lifting weights pretty seriously for five years, and for the first time since I started, I feel burnt out. I think I might just be bored with lifting? Do you have any advice for me?

2: Hey man, I just got back into powerlifting after a long break from high school. I found your pod a while back and really enjoy it. I had two questions that might be interesting topics to cover. How often do you max yourself or your clients and how often do you think someone should test their 1RM? Do you ever try to strategically fit in a PL weight class or do you just maintain a weight that feels right for you?

3: Hey Kyle, I have a question for the podcast, how often should you change the exercises in your program if building muscle is the primary goal?

4: Hi Kyle, I have a question for you. I have heard you talk about on the podcast how cheat meals are not a good idea during a fat loss diet, however, in the past I have had pretty good success with them. Is it an individual thing, or could I have achieved better results by not having cheat meals?

5: Why does it seem like Actors can make huge transformations seemingly overnight while it takes the rest of us years to see any meaningful progress? Is it all steroids or something else?

6: What is one piece of advice you would give a recent college grad looking to get into the fitness industry?

310: How to Bench Press More Weight | The Misconception of Leg Drive and Scapular Retraction Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I go over how to bench press more weight. As many of you probably know, I love the bench press. It's my favorite lift, and the one I spend the most time thinking about. Although it seems like such a simple movement, high-level benching actually involves many intricate details.

I'm sure some of these tips you have heard before, but hopefully, I can present them in a way that resonates with you and is something you can put to use in the gym.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
