Hey Jack,

I know your content targets men who already have decent physical condition, I'll ask though.

When someone has athletic potential but has neglected their health intermittently in the past, whether through daily sleep deprivation, drinking, extreme work hours and disrupted circadian rhythm for long times. Working in tech.

and athletically I've rarely held lots of volume, 1-3 workouts a week total these days. I did 75 hard twice in the past so the capability is theoretically there, but not right now.

How do you recommend ramping up the volume, handling the load management? My first priority is doing all I can to maximize recovery (the S-tier stuff mostly in your article).

Basically I'm wondering how to approach the progressive overload of training volume while maintaining recovery, coming after lots of chronic fatigue, inflammation, etc.

I finally got the gym subscription so will be starting that side of things, I'm thinking it will help trigger recovery processes. Btw is there any gym protocol in particular you recommend, from the recent ones?

Hey Jack!

I have anterior pelvic tilt and regularly get tight or fatigued in my lower back from standing, walking, or running for too long. It feels like my lumbar spine is constantly overworking. It also feels stiff as hell!

I also have generally poor mobility. I can’t touch my toes or sit in a deep squat, for example. I can get into a deep squat with my heels elevated, so it’s probably ankle restriction. Not sure how much of this is contributing to the pelvic tilt or vice versa.

Do you have any principles or approaches you follow for addressing anterior pelvic tilt, especially when mobility is also limited? Whether it’s through mobility, strength work, or correcting movement patterns.

And another small question - How many grams of protein per kg BW do you recommend?

Also, I really like the idea you mentioned about modular chapters!

Andreas
