865 - Exposing Bad Trainers, Worst Diet Ever, & The Science Behind Drop Sets.

In this episode Cody will tell it how it is! Answering questions from listeners about horrible programming from personal trainers, one of the worst fad diets to ever exist, and all about the science behind drop sets.If you love this podcast, please do us a favor and share this episode with anyone you think would like it or benefit from it.

Research seems to show they are VERY effective for a shorter period of time than straight sets, so why are we not all doing drop sets all the time?(15:00) - I have been lifting consistently for about a year and a half. In the fall, I started hiring a personal trainer to write 8-week programs for me. The most recent one she wrote put the days in the following order: push, legs, pull, legs, glutes/shoulders. I always hear you are not supposed to work the same muscle group two days in a row. On this program, the last two days both include multiple glute exercises (for example- hip thrusts and glute-focused leg press on one day…kickbacks and glute emphasized back extensions on the next). Am I overthinking the fact that these exercises are one day apart? Or is this a sign that my trainer may not know what she’s doing?(24:40) - Question about clients coming from Optavi,  which is a very restrictive fad diet. Like 800-1000 cals and they recommend no exercise. Just awful. Anyway, I have a lot of women coming to me off of that program. Many of them have lost a good chunk of weight and many have gained weight back but they all have weight they still need to lose. I’m not sure  if they can safely continue in a deficit. They have body fat to lose but on the flip side they have spent many months on this very low calorie program. Which direction would you think is best for these individuals?—-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…

864 - Weight Loss Drugs w/ Dr. Roberts

This podcast covers everything you need to know about "Weight Loss Drugs". Prescription weight loss drugs have been around for almost 100 years, believe it or not. But they have regrown in popularity once again and because there are new emerging prescription drugs being given to obese patients by doctors, it's an important topic for us to cover on the show! So I brought our Chief Science Officer, Dr. Brandon Roberts, back on the show to cover the topic in massive detail -- specifically breaking down the different weight loss drugs out there, what they actually do (ie - how they work), and the potential risks of taking them.If you'd like to read the article we have on the topic as well, visit the blog at www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/weight-loss-drugsIf you love this podcast, please do us a favor and share this episode with anyone you think would like it or benefit from it.

I guess I have two questions: The main method of progressive overload I know of is the double progression method. You choose a rep range and a weight, then keep using the same weight until you reach the top of the rep range. Once you reach the top of the rep range, you go up in weight and start again. But this means that each time you go up in weight, but start at lower reps, your volume goes down. An example of doing 8-12 reps at 100 lbs: 8 reps x 100 lbs = 800 and 12 reps x 100 lbs = 1200. But going back down, 8 reps x 105 lbs = 840lbs… So you’re going up 5 lbs, but it kind of deloads your volume? It seems like a regression, is it not?(21:00) - What other methods of progressive overload are there?(23:00) - What are the best 5-day training splits to maximize muscle growth?(27:45) - What are your short and long term training and nutrition goals, right now?—-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…

I feel as though it's due to high diet fatigue and just trying to be in a deficit too much and too long. I have done a short period of maintenance but keep returning to a cut because I just want to lose 8 pounds and feel like it should be so easy, but I keep ruining it by binging. I now know I need to reduce my diet fatigue before I can have a successful cut. Is this something a coach could help me with specifically? Would they guide me and my biofeedback so that I know when I would be ready for a cut again?(29:25) - When tracking macros, should we be including fibre in our carb counts? If you are eating very high fibre foods, the calories coming from carbohydrates might be lower than expected. Should we track fibre separately from net carbs if we tend to eat very high fibre carbohydrates? I can easily get up to 60-70g fibre out of 190 carbs.(35:35) - Does creatine have calories? It is technically a non essential amino acid so that would mean 4 calories per gram, but if it is going into our cells, we aren't digesting it (or at least most of it).

I am sure it depends on where the person is starting(19:15) - What are your thoughts on weight lifting training every day to put on muscle? I understand it would depend on what the intensity and volume is for every day and I have heard some say that if you can train every day, you aren't training hard enough. I personally like my schedule to be consistent day to day and am hesitant to take full rest days but also like to go beast mode when I train. Will this hurt my ability to put on muscle?(28:50) - How to deal with social media influence on clients? I’m a new trainer and struggling with combatting all of the beliefs social media instills in my clients. I find that even when I spend time talking with them and unpacking what they currently believe while simplifying and explaining the science they still fall back into those beliefs and old habits that are detrimental to their progress.
