As a new member to the gym I feel like I am all over the place. I do about 30 Min on cardio then some weight training but I want more consistency in my workouts. Is this something the tailored training app can help me with ? Please let me know because I hate feeling lost(21:45) - How long would you recommend keeping an obese client in a deficit if biofeedback remains OK?(24:40) - Is it OK to go under BMR for a deficit?(28:00) - I’m curious if you’ve done a fat loss phase without tracking calories/macros? As a former client, I know tracking calories/macro is the preferred approach within your coaching program and for yourself. However, I’m curious if you’ve challenged yourself to do a fat loss phase without a mathematical approach and focused more on a food quality/lifestyle approach e.I. Precision Nutrition’s Hand Portion Guide. It so, what were the details (duration, nutritional guidelines and protocol, progress) I feel this would be reaching the “apex” of “dieting expertise” as it would be more on the intuitive eating, building sustainable habits and trusting the process.(34:20) - Would you program different training session durations for clients over 40 or 50 years old?(39:50) - What are some of your most effective methods for fat loss in your clients?(42:30) - I am torn between wanting to build muscle and losing more fat. My last inbody scan showed I have 35.5% body fat, 58.0 skeletal muscle mass, and weight is 159.9. My height is 5’5 and I am 32 years old. I put myself into 2 deficits this year already and am now staying at maintenance through the holidays. Would you recommend I go back into a deficit next year or stay at maintenance? Not looking into going into a bulk due to already being uncomfortable with my body fat. I consistently train 4x a week (upper/lower) thanks to you talking about doing upper/lower splits versus a “bro split”, I track my protein daily, and average 7,000-9,000 steps a day.—-Social Links:Blog – http://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blogFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/tailoredcoachingmethodInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroomYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/codymcbro

Do you find it difficult to switch your mindset for that type of lifting? Or do you just trust the process/coaches you work with? I've done mostly powerlifting training but am on week 5 of your bulletproof bodybuilding now and with the first couple weeks I definitely struggled with that type of shift in training. Really loving it now though. Side notes: can't wait for my TLA goods to arrive and shout out to coach Trevor, what I have learned and changed in my life because of you and him is just amazing. I have nothing but gratitude for you guys. If anyone is on the fence about coaching, I encourage them to dive in and go for it, learn to invest in yourself. It's the best thing you can do.(24:30) - Hi! I am a mom to a 14 month old, busy physical therapist and business owner. Getting back in shape (5’7’’, 140ish lbs for reference… pre-child felt great at 135lb). Just minimal extra around belly, overall feeling good. I just would love slightly less body fat and more muscle I can only get to the gym 1-3x/week depending on work and life. What to focus on? Diet is main priority but I’d love guidance for workouts to improve body comp.(35:00) - Trying to set my calories for a bulk. Was in a cut around 2500 calories and have reversed to around 2900 calories. I weigh around 207 and have been eating 215 grams of protein, 310 grams of carbs and 90 grams of fat. If I want to increase for a bulk, would you recommend just upping my carbs or should I also add in more fat?—-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…
