761 - Downfalls of The Carnivore Diet, Training For Body Recomposition, and More...

We dive in HARD by attacking the carnivore diet (joking... but honestly not really) and then shift gears to deep dive into periodizing your training for optimal body composition changes (fat loss / muscle growth) as well as some very specific individual questions regarding listeners' training, nutrition, and stress.—-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:2:55 - What is your opinion on the carnivore diet for muscle gain?13:00 - I am an active person and often get to the end of the day and am under my target calories for the day. 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. What is the best way/how should you manage nutrition when stress is increased?—-Extra Content For You: How We Coach: Client Case Study ArticleTop 4 Podcast Episodes:- Nutritional Periodization- Nutrition FAQ- Training FAQ- My Story—-LINKS MENTIONED:- New Cancer/Meat Study- Meat + Produce Reduces Cancer Risk- Layne Norto

But it's organized and informative, so we think you'll enjoy it!There was a new study recently linking cancer and red meat consumption; which isn't the first of its kind. However, like all the others... it doesn't really have us concerned and in this podcast, we'll tell you why.

753 - Jackson Peos - Issues w/ Being ”Evidence Based”

Today's guest is Jackson Peos -- PhD Researcher, Sports Nutritionist, and Physique Coach. He's been on the show before, so you know it's for a good reason! And in this episode, he brings the heat! In fact, in some ways we stir up some controversy by taking shots at the evidence based community... which may come as a surprise to you, since we're both in there. He's a researcher, I'm a science driven coach, and we have another researcher on staff here at TCM. But it's not that we're AGAINST the science or don't value it; far from that actually. It's that Jackson and I both agree that there are aspects of the researcher that are making people weaker in their training, lazy in their diets, and full of excuses for their success.I know, brutal. But we have some evidence and a lot of experience to back up our claims. So I not only think you'll really just enjoy this conversation, but I also think you NEED to hear this conversation to optimize everything you do in your training and nutrition.You can find Jackson on instagram @jacksonpeos and find his new ebook, The Ultimate Muscle Gain Handbook, as well as programs and coaching at www.jacksonpeosfitness.com—-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- 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/TailoredCoachingMethodEmail – 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…
