We’re kicking off a new Q&A series on the Ripped Body Podcast. Today, I sit down with Ripped Body Coach Matt to answer listener questions. In this first session, we cover:
👉 Should you adjust calories when deloading?
👉 What's a good alternative for dips if they hurt?
👉 Are strength drops normal?

We also dive into progression systems — linear vs. double progression — and why chasing perfection with the wrong approach can leave you frustrated or even injured.
