THAT STORY right there, is what we get into today. You're going to learn why he created Functional Bodybuilding, who he created it for, how it's evolved over time, and how to implement it for yourself!You can follow Marcus Filly and Functional Bodybuilding on YouTube, Instagram, and their Website.—-To Apply For Coaching: Click HereDownload The Tailored Trainer: Tailored Trainer Sign Up PageTo Get Your Questions Answered On The Podcast: Ask Us Here!Download 1 (or ALL) Of Our FREE GUIDES: https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guidesGiant Lifting Equipment (10% Off With Code “TCM10”): GiantLifting.com1st Phorm Supps: https://www.1stphorm.com/tailoredcoachingmethodTo Get Cody’s Amazon Recommendations, Click Here—-Timestamps:(4:30) - What has Marcus kept consistent throughout the years?(12:15) - Marcus’ Crossfit journey(22:20) - The start of Functional Bodybuilding(30:35) - Marcus’ current training program(40:10) - What are the pillars of Functional Bodybuilding.(1:01:10) - Where to find Marcus and all of his content.—-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…

What are the staple things you suggest before starting a business in personal training by yourself? For both online and in person transition, what would you say the staples are and how to find a relatively small space to be my gym base at the moment as I start? How to build a blog website as well, do I just buy a website? How did you go about starting your own solo venture in personal training?45:00 - I have a client who has PCOS & she came to me only eating 1,200 calories (like actually) & not losing weight (she was skinny fat). I increased her calories over the past 6-9 months to a little over 2,000 calories & she gained ~ 10 lbs (from 160 to 170 lbs), quite a bit of muscle, but also some body fat. In the past couple months, I have started lowering her calories into a deficit & we’re currently at 1,500-1,600, but she is not losing any fat in her weight, pictures, or measurements. She doesn’t have time to increase her steps or movement, so I feel like the only way to go is to increase her calories again, but she is already feeling ‘heavy’. Any ideas of how to get her body to respond to fat loss?51:30 - Arnold press. Recently a lot of people are saying it’s junk… is it not worth it ? What are your staple shoulder movements?

My question is this - I am planning to start a cut next week. I have my calories and macros figured out, I think. I have many instances in my past where I stupidly learned the hard way that my body falls apart when I am too low carb. (Lose my period, hormones tank, hypothyroidism, can't gain muscle, can't sleep etc etc) For the record, I am not underweight (and never was). Currently I am at maintenance: 2,400 cals a day, 170g protein, 80g fat, and 250g carbs. I light weights 4 times a week in a hypertrophy program, and get lots of steps and NEAT naturally. When I calculated my 12 week cut (with 3 weeks of diet breaks) I tried to keep my carbs as high as possible, but they obviously have to go down. I came up with: 1,900 cals a day, 160g protein, 46g fat, 185g carbs. I'm curious to get a second opinion about these numbers. Is 185 too high for carbs during a cut, or could I bump them up even more? I know it depends of course. I'm just terrified of having really bad biofeedback right away after making such huge health progress. I have about 15 lbs to lose, and might break it up to not stress my body out too much. I also don't want to be too much of a wuss, and screw it up by not going hard enough.Thanks so much!!(18:35) - I know I have asked this in the past, but will you have any mentorship opportunities coming within the next year? If not, where do you recommend I go to continue my education & just overall be a better coach?(29:40) - Hydrostatic body fat testing… is it accurate?(39:00) - Do you call your clients out on their excuses?—-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…
