In today’s QnA video, I answer the following questions:
I have a heavy bag at home and would love to be able to do 30 mins in the morning before I go to work. Do you know of any help I could get with technique training? – Ryan Hassell, UK [01:34]
Do you have to stick to one specific A+A circuit for a few weeks and work through the progression to get the full effect or can you get equal results by changing the exercises in the A+A circuit every workout? – Mike Ross, Ontario [02:32]
I need to strengthen both tendons and ligaments to help prevent dislodging my bones from “the sockets” as I “overpower” according to the chiropractor. – Mary Russo, Goose Creek, SC, US [05:18]
When I go heavy on my deadlifts I feel a pain in my lower right abdomen. Is this a hernia? I worry about tearing something. Any modifications? – Jon Fisher, Atlanta, GA [08:28]

CONTEST WINNERS
I also just finished reading through all the responses to the little CAGE Cardio contest I ran over the weekend and I’ve chosen the winners.
They are (drum roll please)…
I chose Andrew because he’s a fighter spending the cash to come back from an injury and I want to help the chap out because I know rehab can get pricey and I also know my programs will help him get back stronger than ever. Best of luck – can’t wait to watch you fight after you get back stronger than ever.
I chose Cole because he’s a Kinesiology student and he’s shown the initiative to learn above and beyond what they teach in school. I highly respect anyone who has a commitment to personal growth – especially young dudes like Cole. Congrats brutha!
I chose Richard because he’s been following my stuff since he started MMA and he’s shown that he’s been paying attention to my teachings by talking about info I dropped years ago! Thanks man and I’m honoured to help you in your career.
If you won – please hit me up via messages on Facebook to claim your prize.
SURPRISE BONUS!
… this includes the winners and anyone who grabs the CAGE Cardio BE program when I launch it tomorrow (you’ll get an email when it goes live).
What is this surprise bonus?!?
You’ll have to watch the video to find out (it’s not that long):
