• New Super Question Segment.

Q&A with Alwyn Cosgrove

• It has been a while since we last talked on The FitCast and I know you are always reading the latest research in the fitness and nutrition field. What has peeked your interest lately when it comes to studies, anything that you think you will take advantage of or try yourself?

• Hi Alwyn, I love your training programs, and I know that for fat loss, you seem to recommend higher reps and low rest periods. But what’s your opinion on those who say you must lift heavy to keep the muscle when dieting, and let cardio and nutrition strip off fat? Thanks a lot. -Ryan

• Can you talk about how you design programs for athletes? I’m interested in the philosophy more than exercises. Maybe a program design DVD or manual geared toward advanced programs and athletic programming. I’d like to see some educational resources dedicated to the training of athletes. Thanks, Keep up the great work! -Mark

• Hi Alwyn, I’ve been helping my brother train for MMA fights, but I can’t get him to give up steady state cardio on the bike or treadmill.  Do you ever use steady state cardio with your fighters?  Why or why not, and what else do you use to get them ready for a fight?  Thanks. -Luke Lamb

• I recently heard from Coach Dos about a new DVD you guys put out, can you talk about what the DVD covers, and who it is for?

Mailbag

• I am a runner and lifter. Some days I go to the gym after a long day at school. I usually run about and hour or and hour and a half. Then after my run I do my lifting routine which includes the New Rules of Lifting workout. I noticed that my lifting is effected, which I am not surprised since I just ran 10-15 miles. This is the only time that I can lift and run. Is there anything you would suggest that I could eat/do so I can have energy to get the most out of my lifting. Sorry for the long question. -Chris Barrett

• Will I compromise muscle mass if hypertrophy has been the the main goal during a weight strength training cycle and I decide to start conditioning training with high reps for three months? In other words, if I start doing push-ups and its variances exclusively for chest muscle endurance and overall conditioning will I lose chest muscle mass/size achieved during the prior hypertrophy cycle? -Raymond

• Jimmy you said in the last show that you are now “cutting.” I was just curious as to how you have modified your workouts to reach your goal, thanks and love the show, -Jessica

• What is in your fitness tool box (i.e. what equipment do you keep with you to use with your clients) Thanks!! -Jorge

Q’s for Brijesh

• For the ordinary trainee looking to incorporate sprints into their workout what would be the best way to fit them into their training week and how often would you recommend they sprint? (While building muscle whilst minimizing fat gain).
• What are your top tips to help people get the most from sprint training?
• For your athletes what does their GPP warm-up consist of?
• What are the biggest challenges that you face with training college athletes, and how did you address them?
• Where does speed training fit into the general population’s workout, if at all?
• It seems as though there are more and more things (I.e. activation, dynamic warm-up, etc…) that come out in articles that are said should be part of one’s training. Can you suggest anything you’re finding that’s a lot of hype? In other words, are there exercises, movements, etc… that you’ve found not worthy of dedicating time to? Keep up the great work with the Crusaders. I enjoy your work.
• Where can people check out some of your work or get in contact with you
