2:35 - Are some creatine products actually significantly more beneficial than others? Some claim to achieve better results, others claim that you won’t hold any additional water weight etc.
10:20 - New to you so you’ve probably been asked this before but what are your recommendations for fasting while working out? Example I wake up at 2:45am for work get done at 9 I’m not hungry so I usually don’t eat until I get home after my workout around 11? If I’m absolutely starving I will eat like a chicken thigh or meat bar before my workout. I’m strictly carnivore and been at maintenance for about 5 months looking to lose a few more pounds but can’t seem to get there.
22:30 - Client of mine wants to put lean mass on. Over the last four months I’ve moved his calories up and he is eating more food now than ever. However there is zero size difference in his body, but he is getting strong as hell. I know it takes a while to put on muscle, but I feel like I might be missing something! I know that sleep is a huge opportunity and we’re working on that, he’s averaging 4-5 hours a night. He trains 5 days a week in a power building style workout. Could it be time to switch to a Hypertrophy/Physique focused split? Biofeedback: Sleep is in the green via his Whoop at 4-5 hours a night. (I feel think this is our biggest opportunity) His weight has stayed around 191-195 BF% per Fit3D fluxes between 16-19 Water intake is 1 gallon Macros are spot on every single day and Eating 430 carbs a day. Uses 1st Phorm supplements to reach carb goals. He has intracarbs during his workouts He has a protein shake with creatine after his workout and then eats a meal within 90mins.

| 0:26.0 | I'm playing the drums. |
| 0:27.2 | It's funny. |
| 0:27.5 | I was, uh, I don't know where Blakely was like, she wanted to go on a truck ride yesterday. |
| 0:32.7 | So I'll put her like in my lap and drive around. Which is funny because somebody did that dropping their kid off to school. |
| 0:37.9 | And apparently, like, somebody else, another parent saw that parent do it, which, |
| 0:42.2 | mind you, our school is in our neighborhood. |

| 0:48.3 | You know what I mean? |
| 0:49.0 | But the school's in our neighborhood. |
| 0:50.7 | And so, like, it takes me two minutes tops and I like literally drive out of a |
| 0:56.0 | cul-de-sac one block down. I'm in a school parking lot. You know, I wasn't this person who did this, |
| 1:00.9 | but somebody reported another parent for doing it in the school. And like now they sent out |
| 1:05.8 | bulletins and they're like, you can't do this. And I was like, God, come on. Like, just crazy. |
