  • Why am I not getting a good pump anymore?
  • When doing rest pause training, do the reps after the activation set technically count as low reps?

  • At what numbers should you aim to gain weekly during a bulk so that its mostly muscle?
  • Does drinking water during a meal affect digestion?
  • Can performance on key compound lifts be a good gauge of muscle retention during a diet?
