#896 - Apparel Giveaway, When To Take A Diet Break, and How To Fire Your Trainer May 22, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we explore three crucial topics that every fitness enthusiast should know.

First, we discuss the importance of taking a diet break. When should you consider giving your body a much-needed break from calorie restrictions? We unravel the science behind diet breaks, explaining the signs that indicate it's time to reset your metabolism and rejuvenate your progress.

Next, we delve into the untapped potential of novice lifters in the gym. Are you new to strength training? Discover the remarkable gains and benefits that await you as a beginner. We reveal the secrets to maximizing your progress, offering expert advice on proper form, progressive overload, and building a solid foundation for long-term success.

Lastly, we tackle a sensitive topic: what to do when you dislike your trainer's program. Communicating your concerns can be challenging, but we provide guidance on how to approach the situation professionally and constructively. Learn effective strategies to express your preferences, discuss modifications, and ensure that your fitness program aligns with your goals and preferences.

(13:45) - What can a new lifter do to maximize the potential of their "newbie gains"?

(18:30) - How to know if it's time I take a diet break?

(24:55) - Which is more important for muscle gains with minimal fat gains. Eating in a surplus on training days, on non training days Or both?

(31:00) - I currently have an in person coach that I’ve been working with for the last 4 months. He’s fairly controlling and isn’t very empathetic. If he sees me training or doing anything outside of the split that he’s programmed for me, he becomes confrontational and it’s been really hard for me to navigate as a people pleaser. We’ve had discussions about it but it ultimately leads to him blaming me and me apologizing even though I’ve done nothing wrong. I’m not sure how to get out of this dysfunctional relationship and move on as I would still have to see him daily if I worked with someone else. I need an in person coach right now for more accountability. Any advice on when to move on from a coach that no longer meets your needs and how to end this? I feel suffocated.

⌚TIMESTAMPS:

(14:30) - I was wondering, how do you know if you are training too much? I.e. too much volume for the optimal muscle growth. I have heard of people who have gone from 5 days of strength training to 4 days and have made more gains?

(28:08) - What’s up guys, as always appreciate what you did for me and what you do! Tailored coaching is a gift to the fitness and nutrition space! My question was, when did you know it was time to move forward from in person to online? I know you had mentioned being a in person trainer for awhile before transitioning. I work for a gym as a trainer, with that being said the gym makes the larger cut for sessions, and I would like to support my family better and would like to transition into private in person and online full time, to spend more time with them as well. What’s your advice, and insight?

(38:25) - What exactly happens when you have over 30g of protein during a meal? i know in a previous episode you talked about the study that claimed you don't need more than 30g per meal, but you countered with the fact that those needs will be completely dependent on the person. that being, if i am a 135 pound female, eating around 100-110g of protein a day, theoretically would 40g per meal of protein be considered too much? usually i work out in the mornings, have at least 10g of protein before my workout and then 25-40g immediately post workout. throughout the next two meals they range from again 30-40g per meal. is that too much at one time? and can you explain again what is supposedly happening when you have too much protein at once (where does it go)

(43:47) - I’ve been having 0 motivation to go to the gym in my calorie deficit…I keep telling myself it’s pointless to go if I have no energy and barely hit my protein goal. Thoughts on overcoming those little voices ? The all or nothing me mentally. Love your podcast also

This episode of the podcast is a “debate” between Coach Austin Current and Cody McBroom! Except… let’s be honest, they’re great friends and agree upon a lot of things.

However, there is an industry wide debate between what’s most important for muscle growth: exercise execution or training volume and effort?

So we dive deep into this topic, debate a bit and hash out what ACTUALLY matters most and why.

Timestamps:

(12:55) - I’ve been reverse dieting for the last 3 months. I’ve lost 10% body fat and gained 3 lbs of muscle. The scale has stayed consistent for the last few 3 weeks though. What can I do to get the scale moving again? For reference, I’m 5’6” 120 lbs. I was previously eating 1100 calories and now I’m eating 1500. My current macros are 160g protein, 60 g fat and 80 g carbs. I strength train 3 days a week and do intervals on the treadmill 3 days a week as well.

(19:55) - When you have a client who can only work out 3 days a week, would you typically give them 3 full body days? What would be the pros/cons of giving them say maybe an 8 week program of 3 lower body days and then switching to upper body or something to focus more on those goals?

(26:30) - If volume is equated, is there a detriment to split up my workouts to twice a day? As a busy mom, I can't spend an hour continuously working out, but I can work in two 30 minute sessions
