Description:

Max answers the following 4 questions (time-stamped and listed below) taken from our Instagram and answers them against a 4-minute clock. Then at the end he'll answer as many questions as possible in 4 minutes rapid fire style.

01:14 - If the strongest powerlifters rarely implement tempo work, why do you favor tempo work so much? Let's assume its for a client with no previous injury background. Layne Norton and Greg Nuckols have written how Poliquin overuses tempo work.

05:11 - Have you ever had an athlete with a messed up hormone profile? After making the proper lifestyle changes how long does it take before the hormones come back to normal? (sorry if the wording is off)

09:55 - Can you discuss the future plans of the educational course offered by TTT?

15:25 - Using MED principle ( Minimum effect dose ) , i assume you did Test for see if the athlete adapt or not .how you know this is the right dose or not? (too much) thinking about  interference and residual effect.

RAPID FIRE QUESTIONS 21:05 - Which books about training prescription do you recommend? Thanks!

21:40 - Would you ever consider playing Lex Luthor in a Superman movie?

22:08 - Do you ever find it beneficial for individual design athletes to join a group class on occasion? Conversely, how do you coach someone transitioning from group classes who may have a hard time with motivation or giving it 100% effort without the competitive environment a class tends to offer?

23:31 - Are the days of the regional competitor who works a 40 hour work week (standard desk job) coming to a close?

23:51 - Do you (Max) have performance parameters or prerequisites that you use as a guideline for determining if an athlete is a good fit for your coaching or is it more about mental fortitude/performance? I know you spoken about how Travis Mayer was a high level athlete before and now Noah Ohlsen is on board as well. What is that consultation process like?

24:55 - Why is a shoe called a shoe?
