I am (successfully) recovering from amenorrhea so I can’t wait too long to eat in the morning. It’s also not good for me to drink coffee on an empty stomach for the same reason. The problem is, I almost never poop first thing after getting up. I usually have to sort of chill and drink some coffee before I take a dump. By that time, I also will have eaten breakfast. I don’t think there’s ever a time during the day when my stomach is empty. What might you suggest?(34:15) - I’m a high school strength & conditioning coach in Maine and work with all types of athletes and non-athletes. Some of the ones who are over weight (who are not in season) have recently told me that they are actively trying to lose weight and improve their fitness. How would you guide teenage athletes in their fat loss journey? I'm trying to get them to do the basics really well (consistency with their meals, eating whole foods, prioritizing protein) without having them become fixated on tracking and the number on the scale.(40:45) - Whenever I try RDLs, I struggle to feel anything in my hamstrings. I mostly feel it in my glutes on the lifting part of the movement but only if I do high reps with a 70-80 lbs BB. Heavier I’ll feel in my back and my grip fails too. What am I doing wrong? I keep them in my programs occasionally to work on form in hopes they one day it will click but it hasn’t. However, if I do weighted glute ham raises on the Roman chair I can feel it in my hams or glutes based on mind muscle connection only. It’s basically the same movement though so why?? With RDLs, in the lowering phase I literally feel like I’m gonna fall backwards. How can I fix this. Or should I just give up?—-Extra Cont

They just found out they have surgery in 2 weeks, & won't be able to lift for 4 weeks post surgery. Should we increase maintenance fast to promote recovery post surgery or increase slower since movement will be going way down?(19:23) - What is your recommended window of time for eating prior to a workout? And what situations would cause your recommendations to differ?(27:30) - Is it natural to have a weaker side of your body? Is it worth it to do an extra rep or two on your weaker side to keep up with your other side?(30:45) - Can you burn sodium? Does sodium intake really matter?(39:50) - I am a fairly new in person trainer. I have a client who works a full time job during the week, then also works 3-4 bartending shifts a week where she is always on her feet and often carrying heavy things. She has chronic back pain because she broke her back a few years ago at work and also has major knee issues that she never really did anything for. I’m sure the work on her feet is not helping. She recently lost 30-40 lbs very quickly (in 3-4 months) and said to do it she ate no more than 1000 calories per day and took a few spin classes per week. She is now strength training with me and I’m helping her reverse diet, but I still don’t think she is eating enough to support all of her activity (she’s telling me she’s eating 1200-1500 calories per day). She just was told she tore her calf muscle and it seems to have come out of nowhere. I’m starting to think because she does not rest or recover enough at all between the heavy work on her feet and the strength training sessions her body is starting to force it with this injury. I’ve always heard the body will force you to rest when it has to. Am I correct in thinking this? I’m looking for more guidance on helping her understand her situation and how important it is to rest and eat enough or she’s just going to keep ending up in this cycle. Thank you for any input!

I know metabolic adaptation and reverse dieting has become a hot topic and as a new coach there are times I'm confused about what's the best approach for my clients when getting started. For example I'll have obese clients coming to me with lots of dieting history and reporting low calorie intake but do you think this is more a matter of under reporting and it's safe to take them right into a fat loss phase? I've heard recently that it's less likely that metabolic adaptation is occuring in those with lots of weight to still lose. Do you have any thoughts on this?(18:25) - Hey Cody! Love the podcast. Can we get Shannen on? Might be cool to hear the perspective of a “fitness spouse” and she seems super cool!(26:30) - I’ve asked y’all a million questions before and I appreciate the answers! I’m really struggling with depression and food. I know in my mind that I’m over eating and logically I know overeating is keeping me from losing weight. (which I desperately need to lose). Why am I struggling so much?! Tips or advice on depression and food.(34:40) - Hi! Long time listener and LOVE how easy your pods are to listen to! To preface, I’ve been seriously lifting for 12 years (exercise science major, competed at 21). I’m 33, I was a firefighter and now am going to school for nursing. I went from extremely active plus admittedly overdoing cardio to super sedentary for school. I still do 1-2 hours of steady state cardio a day and lift 4x a week but I’ve already gotten so fluffy :( I have tracked calories for years, so I’ve even bumped them down to 1200! This isn’t even sustainable and I don’t know what else I can do, just accept this season of life? Or do you think my body will adjust?(40:10) - Because I’m new in my business, how do I figure out what to implement first when there's so much that could be implemented? —-Extra Content For You: How We Coach: Client Case Study ArticleTop 4 Podcast Episodes:- Nutritional Periodization- Nutrition FAQ- Training FAQ- My Story—-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…
