Jordan Syatt just did an episode on them and it seems like they were recommended for obesity. What about for people who have 15 lbs to lose?15:40 - My son is a senior in high school and about to graduate. He is going to college to play soccer and wants to put on more weight and size to match up with college athletes. What is your opinion or best advice on where to start his macros or how to approach this?18:40 - Hi Cody Thank you so much for answering my questions lately and providing so much knowledge. I truly have and continue to learn so much from you. I have just finished training for a marathon and am doing the in 2 days time. I am truly so excited to jump back in to prioritizing strength training as I have missed giving it my all in that style of training. I have strength and hypertrophy goals. I want to be a strong ass weapon but also look it! I am looking to restructure my training split and block periodisation. I like to train X5 days per week. Would it be better to have a weekly structure of X2 strength days, X3 hypertrophy days (for example); or one block focus on hypertrophy and the next block focus on strength? Are the benefits/negatives of the different structures? Does it matter? Love the podcast!26:30 - When doing abductor machine exercises how important is rom given that the muscle isn’t actually being stretched as it would in a lunge or squat?. Is load more important than rom for this specific exercise? Overall thoughts on this exercise for building glutes in general?31:30 - Is it possible to train for maximal strength 5 days a week without creating aches and soreness?35:10 - How does someone determine their genetic limitations and or gifts? —📲CONNECT WITH US:IG -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroomYOUTUBE CHANNEL - https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1INQUIRIES – info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

Eating in a surplus on training days, on non training days Or both?(31:00) - I currently have an in person coach that I’ve been working with for the last 4 months. He’s fairly controlling and isn’t very empathetic. If he sees me training or doing anything outside of the split that he’s programmed for me, he becomes confrontational and it’s been really hard for me to navigate as a people pleaser. We’ve had discussions about it but it ultimately leads to him blaming me and me apologizing even though I’ve done nothing wrong. I’m not sure how to get out of this dysfunctional relationship and move on as I would still have to see him daily if I worked with someone else. I need an in person coach right now for more accountability. Any advice on when to move on from a coach that no longer meets your needs and how to end this? I feel suffocated.—📲CONNECT WITH US:IG -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroomYOUTUBE CHANNEL - https://www.y

I.e. too much volume for the optimal muscle growth. I have heard of people who have gone from 5 days of strength training to 4 days and have made more gains?(28:08) - What’s up guys, as always appreciate what you did for me and what you do! Tailored coaching is a gift to the fitness and nutrition space! My question was, when did you know it was time to move forward from in person to online? I know you had mentioned being a in person trainer for awhile before transitioning. I work for a gym as a trainer, with that being said the gym makes the larger cut for sessions, and I would like to support my family better and would like to transition into private in person and online full time, to spend more time with them as well. What’s your advice, and insight?(38:25) - What exactly happens when you have over 30g of protein during a meal? i know in a previous episode you talked about the study that claimed you don't need more than 30g per meal, but you countered with the fact that those needs will be completely dependent on the person. that being, if i am a 135 pound female, eating around 100-110g of protein a day, theoretically would 40g per meal of protein be considered too much? usually i work out in the mornings, have at least 10g of protein before my workout and then 25-40g immediately post workout. throughout the next two meals they range from again 30-40g per meal. is that too much at one time? and can you explain again what is supposedly happening when you have too much protein at once (where does it go)(43:47) - I’ve been having 0 motivation to go to the gym in my calorie deficit…I keep telling myself it’s pointless to go if I have no energy and barely hit my protein goal. Thoughts on overcoming those little voices ? The all or nothing me mentally.
