765 - Unconventional Methods For Programming Workouts

Todays' discussion is a deep dive into what makes someone a TRULY evidence based trainer... which is NOT just science, it's having loads of experience and anecdotal evidence from IN THE TRENCHES (aka the gym). But along with that, I take you through a series of "unconventional" and definitely uncommon methods that I'm currently using with myself and with my personal clients (as well as Tailored Trainer Members) in order to progress them further and faster.—-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.—-Timestamps:10:45 - Unconventional Splits15:40 - Exercise sequencing 25:00? - Experience level and exercise variation spectrum28:05 - Accommodating Resistance33:50 - Choosing Exercises Effectively—-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…

I am an avid gym door and have been lifting weights since my Division I soccer days have been over for over three years. Lately I have been struggling when it comes to the gym and my recovery. I have shortness of breath, poor digestion, overly exhausted, easily agitated, etc. And not sure why! I absolutely love the gym and it’s my sanctuary but I’m unsure if I am lighting a candle from both ends. I train for about an hour and 45 minutes five days a week doing a push pull legs method. Other than that I just take my dog for a walk and get about 10 K steps in per day. I am not sure why I’m feeling like this but your expertise and recommendations are much needed!18:30 - If you’ve had a crazy day and had to choose one, would it more important to get your steps, workout, or sleep in? Does this change depending whether or not you’re maintaining vs trying to lose fat?22:00 - I’m a 19 year old female, 172cm tall, 76kg looking to build muscle and lose fat, went through a weight loss phase in 2020 losing 10kg but gained it back due to covid and live events, im struggling with how many cals to eat because I’m hearing different sources say different things, don’t wanna go too low to start but want to create a deficit enough to look lean and muscular in around 12-16 weeks. Any tips on how to calculate cals? What should my net cals be each week? I workout strength training 3-4 times a week28:35 - I usually mix protein shake with coffee. Should I drink it before or after working out?31:00 - I know weight fluctuations are normal, but do you have any tips to minimize large changes? It’s not uncommon for my weight to steadily increase over days and then drop by 10-12 lbs from one to the next. I can always tell a large drop is coming the night before, because I’ll experience awful leg/foot cramps. Diet/fiber intake are consistent. —-Extra Content For You: How We Coach: Client Case Study ArticleTop 4 Podcast Episodes:- Nutritional Periodization-

I am trying to maintain (not lose weight), so will often have a large snack/meal right before bed to meet my caloric needs. Is there a problem with this eating structure? I find that it helps me sleep to go to bed with a full stomach.20:15 - Most of my training is sport-specific (rock climbing), but I strength train once per week to support this. I try to fit everything into this one session (push, pull, hinge, squat) and lift heavy. I find that it takes me a long time (2 days) to recover from this session-- is this because I am not doing these lifts frequently enough to allow my body to adapt to them? Or because I am doing too much work in one session?24:30 - I'm currently doing a push/pull/legs split that is a 6-day per week program. On the weeks I can only get to the gym 5 days, is it better to skip one of those sessions or spread them out over 8 or 9 days rather than 7? Thank you for all the content you provide!31:25 - Is following a program required for changing body composition?41:20 - I'll share some context here. Recently we needed to fire a coach, so I went into coaching 25+ hours per week, plus the business side of business. Essentially I needed to find time for 15 more hours a week to stay on track with goals. Thankfully, I was starting a reverse diet at the same time and the surplus has helped manage stress.
