I’m even weighing everything perfectly, yet am gaining weight or staying the same week to week. What could cause this to happen? Inflammation from higher training volume? Or am I just not in a big enough deficit?(21:20) - How would someone go about  transitioning from a 5-day strength program (performance bodybuilding type) to a 4 day split. Would you make your workouts longer? More intense? Prioritize hypertrophy over strength? Basically how do I decrease volume/intensity without going ‘backwards’? I have always been a hybrid ‘athlete’, doing cardio multiple times a week on top of that. I am now training for a marathon and need to add in more runs into my weekly routine. I want to prioritize keeping as much muscle as possible, as well as possibly getting stronger.(30:00) - With Lent coming up that means no meat on Fridays and days of fasting. In those situations, what is the impact of one day a week not hitting our protein needs for the day AND being in a significant deficit? Will one day significantly hinder any progress or just get right back on it the next day and not worry about it.—-Social Links:Blog – http://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blogFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/tailoredcoachingmethodInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroomYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1Email – info@tailoredcoachingmethod.comCody McBroom Has Also Been Featured On: Huffington Post, Bodybuilding.com, The PTDC,Dr. John Rusin, Muscle For Life, Barbell Shrugged, Strong By Design, OPEX Fitness andMore…

Being the middle of winter here in Minnesota my options are mainly indoors. My hernia makes it difficult to do any form of running/jogging or anytime of split leg movement. However doing jumping jacks, jump rope, jump squats are not issue. What are some recommended effective indoor at home cardio types you would recommend? I have a treadmill but not a bike. Thanks in advance for taking my question and for all you do for myself and others.(12:55) - What are your thoughts on doing bodyweight or light weight circuit style workouts on rest days? Would that impinge on recovery? Say, working out hard for 5 days a week and taking 2 days for light circuit style training?(18:55) - I’ve recently added 30 min of cardio to my lifting routine because I’m 7 weeks out of a competition. Trying to maximize my time so I’m sometimes training in the morning from 5am to 7:00 doing my heavy lifts and cardio and going again after work to finish (triceps on a shoulder day or band work like glute kickback burnouts and abductor work on glute ham days for example). Is this a good plan or should I just use that time to recover- I train hard in the 10-15 rep range to close failure and drop sets and myo sets. I hate doing cardio at night because I prefer doing it with caffeine in my system. I'm adding the band work to focus on upper glutes as much as possible.—-Social Links:Blog – http://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blogFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/tailoredcoachingmethodInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroomYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1Email – info@tailoredcoachingmethod.comCody McBroom Has Also Been Featured On: Huffington Post, Bodybuilding.com, The PTDC,Dr. John Rusin, Muscle For Life, Barbell Shrugged, Strong By Design, OPEX Fitness andMore…
