• #ListenerLive question #1 - In your opinion, does bulking on low testosterone make sense or since my body will find it harder to build muscle most of the excess calories will be stored as fat? (55:17)

• #ListenerLive question #2 - Is the number of calories I’m taking in to gain weight but still lose weight normal? (1:06:32)

• #ListenerLive question #3 - Regarding your programming, I have noticed a trend I can't make sense of while running through the MAPS programs. During the heavy weight/low rep phases, I seem to peak during week 2 of the phase (for example Phase 1 Week 2 of MAPS Anabolic). I will go into week 3 of the Phase expecting to be able to add weight but I can't even hit the previous week's weight. Is this to be expected? (1:15:45)

• #ListenerLive question #4 – Any advice on what program I should run next? Currently, my goals are to look the best I can on my 39th birthday and for our family’s spring break trip to the Dominican Republic. (1:33:44)
