Q&A: Getting Clients To Adhere, Fat Loss Timelines, and More…

3:34 – What to do when feeling alone during this time (Corona)?

9:18 – What changes, if any, have you made to how you eat now in quarantine? And did you make any changes to your programming?

14:15 – Advice on your meal, 60 minutes pre workout?

15:26 – What is the first thing you’re going to do when the quarantine is over?

16:54 – Advice on your meal, 60 minutes pre workout?

20:00 – Friend works every set to failure, every workout. What are the consequences?

22:15 – In terms of creating content to post, what’s your system? Do you use a calendar to map out posts for the week/month? Or do you go by day?

24:22 –  I have recently begun to build a small nutrition coaching clientele (4 total clients). Things are going well, people are seeing some good results. However, I am struggling with compliance with clients eating enough food regularly. I say this because some have body composition goals. How do you get clients to be compliant with food intake so you can start periodizing calories for a deficit?

27:34 – If I am still lifting at home, very close to same weight for upper body and about 25 lbs less for lower body can I stay in a calorie deficit without losing a bunch of muscle? I’m not super lean, about 24% body fat and I’m eating at least 0.8 grams of protein per lb. I don’t have a lot of muscle mass, probably no more than 80ish lbs. I’m 5’4” 111.5 lbs as of my last week weekly average. I’m in week 4 of the cut and had 10 weeks planned.

32:05 – What are some good cues to help a client activate their lats and keep the traps out of it, while doing single arm bent over rows?

35:06 – Good online and recognized health and fitness certifications that you recommend?

37:13 – Is it a bad time for a reverse diet, since we can’t push training as hard? Starting a reverse this week but I’m worried it won’t be as successful as the last one since I can’t push weights. How should I manipulate training in these conditions? I handled my last reverse pretty well, minimal fat gain

39:10 – Can you describe in detail how you set up for bench press? When I drive into my shoulders/upper traps during set up, it hurts my neck a lot, and I tend to get a stiff neck after heavy bench sessions. Thank you!

40:50 – But how long do you recommend someone who is in a cutting phase before they maintain or bulk? Is there a certain number of lbs to stop at or how does that work?
