I recently found out that i'm pregnant so my main focus will be growing my baby over the next 9 months, and maintaining the muscle I already have. I've been cleared by my doctor to still workout but I don't want to overstress my body. I've been going to the gym 4 x a week and doing a two upper two lower split about 15-18 sets per muscle group per week for the past year. How much volume should i be doing if my main focus is just to maintain the muscle i currently have?14:45 - How long do clients typically stay with coaches?

I began at 2,000 calories, worked up to 2,750 calories and am now in the end stages of my cut eating 1,800 calories. After my wedding I would like to get back to maintenance which I feel is around 2,200-2,300. Would I go straight to maintenance calories or work my way up gradually and see how my body is responding?18:40? - Why do people think they need to work their abs every day to get abs. They say that is what their husband does and they have an 8pack year round?30:00 - My question is, Im pretty sure I can’t afford coaching one on one. Can I download the app and do your programs there and if so what do you recommend to lose fat/weight at home. Thank you in advance36:30 - I have heard you and other reputable trainers say you do not have to go to failure every set (occassionaly though it is good). My question is in order for me to progress I may start out at let's say 2 or 3 RIR but each week I add a rep to a set (sometimes I can't add weight just an additional rep). Eventually I will get to zero RIR. So what do I do the following week? I hit zero RIR (so failure)do I hit failure again the following week or scale back one or two reps so that I have 1-2 RIR vs 0 RIR—-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.

Today I have one of my favorite people to talk to BACK on the podcast for another round... Dr. Bill Campbell! Bill runs the Physique Lab out of USF, which is one of, if not THE only, research labs completely dedicated to physique science and development. They specifically study fat loss and muscle growth, ONLY. Which makes it the best lab for us to be in touch with and one of the best researchers for me to be friends with!Bill recently came out with Body By Science, which is his Research Review that drops an issue every month covering research on fat loss and muscle growth. Inside each issue, he covers a study and interprets it for YOU, the reader, to better understand what the findings actually mean. Add to that, it's the ONLY research review that actually brings a coach into every single study review to apply the information he interpreted into real world coaching scenarios. Which is not only unique, but unbelievably helpful.I had the pleasure of being on his latest issue to help with a study on Training Volume for Hypertrophy and the Ketogenic Diet for Body Composition Improvements. You can find his research review HERE (and the price at an early launch special, so jump on this while you can).In this podcast we do cover his research review, but we spend the majority of time diving into a study on how processed foods negatively impact your physique, what taking 3 weeks off training can do to your results, and a very new diet break study (done specifically on females trying to lose fat).You can follow Bill Campbell on instagram @billcampbellphd and listen to our other 2 episodes with Bill HERE (Ep. 440) and HERE (Ep. 586)—-If you'd like to attend the Anti-Mastermind, Mastermind (For Coaches) -- Claim your seat, here: https://antimastermind.securechkout.com/To attend via livestream, enter the coupon code: livestream—-Timestamps:(4:30) - Body By Science(10:45) - Where to find Backed By Science(13:30) - Highly Processed Foods(26:50) - De-Training Study(43:30) - Diet Break Study(56:50) - Where you can find Bill and all of his content.—-To Download The Tailored Trainer and Gain Unlimited Access To Expert Programming, Sign Up Here: Tailored Trainer Sign Up PageTo Get Your Questions Answered On The Podcast: Ask Us Here!1st Phorm Supps: To Get FREE PRIORITY SHIPPING and Support The Podcast, Get Your Supplements At 1st Phorm Using Our Link: www.1stphorm.com/tailoredcoachingmethodTo Apply For Coaching: Click HereDownload 1 (or ALL) Of Our FREE GUIDES: www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guidesPrivate Podcast FB Community: Be Part Of The Conversation and Community, RIGHT HERE.—-Extra Content For You: How We Coach: Client Case Study ArticleTop 4 Podcast Episodes:- Nutritional Periodization- Nutrition FAQ-
