Summary

On this week's show Joe continues the Q&A he started last week. After venting about the amount of shoveling he's done over the past 48 hours, Joe answers the following questions: Q1) Can you still bench press if you have a tear in your supraspinatus tendon? Q2) Is there any benefit to reducing weight and increasing reps for men over 50? Q3) What's the best way to get a young kid started in the gym? And is 11 too young to start? Q4) What's the best stimulant-free pre-workout stack? Q5) Do advanced lifters (10+ years experience) need MORE volume in order to continue making progress? *For a full list of Show Notes + Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com.
