• #ListenerLive question #2 – I've recently hit a plateau despite staying consistent with workouts and diet. I understand from your podcasts that sometimes increasing calories for 2-3 weeks can help break through a plateau.

Do you have any other suggestions or strategies to help break this plateau, considering my situation? (1:08:46)

• #ListenerLive question #3 – Do you have any advice on how to push past a mental and physical plateau? I want to be a good role model and show my boys that age is just a number, and that a man takes care of his body to care for his family and others. (1:22:31)
