How Little Can You Train and Maintain Your Mass? Q&A Part 1

Can you maintain your muscle mass with just one full-body workout per week? Are planned deload weeks necessary or overrated? How do you balance squats and deadlifts in the same training program? We’re in the midst of summer and it’s time to answer your best questions! We have five questions this week, and we’ll finish this Q&A round next week with five more. Timestamps: • 01:50 - Question 1: How long can you maintain your muscle mass with just one full-body workout weekly? • 07:15 - Question 2: Is there any benefit to regularly adding wall-sits to your training to increase your maximum strength in the squat? I hope the answer is no because it's a f*cking pain. • 12:20—Question 3: Can you please talk about deloading? I’ve been lifting since January. Should I do deloads periodically? • 17:55 - Question 4: Why do you have so many exercises in the StrengthLog app? Don't you think it might trick people into doing anything other than deadlifts • ? • 21:15 - Question 5: I would love it if you could talk about the difficulties of balancing squats • and deadlifts within a training program. *** Do you like what you hear so far?
