Ask James February 2018: Long-Term Weight Loss & Body Comp, Volume & Stagnation, Ab Hypertrophy in Squat/DL, Vegetables & TEF, Calorie Distribution & Hypertrophy, and Training Plan Evaluation/Autoregulation
Here's the questions answered in this past month's edition of Ask James.
- Can long-term weight loss cause permanent muscle loss?
- Do the faster muscle gains with higher volume approaches lead to faster stagnation? Would lower volume approaches result in similar gains over a longer period of time?
- Are squats and deadlifts sufficient for stimulating abdominal hypertrophy?
- How does the fiber in vegetables impact the thermic effect of feeding? Is the best approach to achieving low calories a combination of protein and vegetables?
- Does the distribution of a calorie surplus impact muscle gains?
- What criteria should be used when evaluating client training plans, and what is the easiest way to autoregulate training?
