Ask a FasCat #25: Lifting weights, losing weight, boosting FTP and the Boogeyman
Ben Delaney
Our ever-popular series rolls on this month with 50 listener questions on a wide array of subjects, from when and how much VO2 Max work to do, how to keep leg speed while lifting weights, the ideal amount of carbohydrate intake for workouts, and much more.
We got so many questions this time that we had to break this episode in two! Tune in next week for the second half.
Perhaps the promise of sweet Castelli custom FasCat kit caused the questions to rain down... But guess what: You can order your own Castelli FasCat kit now until October 31 in the FasCat store.
