It’s Cody Land, the bare knuckle boxer’s wife:) I’m working on the Physique and Bodybuilding cert from NASM that you recommended and have decided to compete in my first bikini competition in Oct of 2023 at 36 years old so I can really dig in and apply what I’m learning.  I’m still digging into the course material so wanted to reach out for help to get ahead. Right now I’m focused on building muscle before it’s time to start cutting. For context, here’s where I’m at currently. I’ve been on a dedicated lifting routine for a couple years (and for years before that before having a baby). My newbie gains seem to have worn off so I started putting myself through my first bulk last Oct. I weigh 140 and I’m 5’5. I’m eating around 2300 calories a day and focusing on keeping protein around 30%. My weight is up 5 lbs and I’m feeling strong and progressing in the gym each week. How would you suggest I periodize as I move from this bulking phase and eventually into my cutting phase? I planned to cut for 12-16 weeks, so I wouldn’t start until June at the earliest. Should I plan for a maintenance phase? Want to be sure I squeeze as much as I can out of this muscle building phase and don’t want to over do my time in a deficit later on. Love your show and thank you so much for all of the guidance you provide. Have grown a lot as a coach thanks to you.20:00 - Tips on helping a high school soccer player with nutrition. They want to build muscle, already pretty lean and tall.

How do you know when you are truly recovered?35:05 - Should “cheat meals” or “free meals” be tracked?43:00 - What are your thoughts on metabolic damage? Is it a real thing? Can too much effort towards fat loss ruin your long term progress?—-Social Links:Blog – http://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blogFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/tailoredcoachingmethodInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroomYouTube -

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.

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.
