Also, I’m currently doing the female physique program on the tailored trainer… What is the benefit from doing box squats versus full range? I’ve noticed this is also in your glute specialization program and wondered if it has better glute activation?14:25 - Im 19, 70kg, 172cm and currently doing the bulletproof bodybuilding female x5 week and thinking of doing a bikini comp in a few years (thinking 2025 ish) so I have a bit of time. I was just wondering what you think a general timeline would be for a goal like this in regards to time spent in cuts, maintenance and bulking. I am planning on getting a coach in the future (in a year or so since I feel like just doing the app is working really really well for me rn). What split and what calorie cycling (cut-bulk phases) would you recommend?24:05 - I train early AM, 4am early, as that is the only time I can fit into my schedule. Since I train fasted, would EAAs be essential to drink? I don’t eat anything as i need time to digest, I have tried small things, banana, protein shake, riced cakes, but still I don’t find it helpful in my works and just feel full.30:30 - Is there a point of diminishing return when it comes to steps/walking? I find myself with 13k-15k a day. Days where I walk more, I seem to have a little increased inflammation compared to days closer to the 13k.35:00 - I’m a few weeks into my 1st TCM program. I consider myself an intermediate lifter as I’ve done some strongman training where I got used to setting weights based on reps x sets to push near failure for most exercises / sessions. Is it ok to do this rather than focusing on the RPE/RIR suggestions?—-Extra Content For You: How We Coach: Client Case Study ArticleTop 4 Podcast Episodes:- Nutritional Periodization- Nutrition FAQ-

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?

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!
