Timestamps:

(2:30) - How and when should you train until failure without putting excess stress on your body? In other words, how do you know when you should “leave some reps in the tank” or until failure without causing injury or fatigue?

(13:24) - Would you recommend a Tonal for someone who wants a cable machine at home but has limited space?

(20:20) - What is your favorite strength training split & number of days /week for someone training for a marathon. Content: someone who has been strength training & running for 10+ years. But for this season, marathon training is the focus. Running 4x / week: 2 shorter, one track and 1 long run.

(25:10) - Life is expensive and trying to find a way to work a coach into my budget. How many months would you say I need to devote to working with y’all? Needing to lose 70lb

(30:40) - What are some strategies if you want to increase muscle? I’m a 41 year old woman who is skinny fat and trying to increase my muscle. Besides strength training what else do you recommend? Especially nutrition wise

(37:45) - Have to take a week off from the gym for intense oral gum surgery. Just reversed up to 2300 cal- I’m a 42 yo female. Should I keep cal so high with a week off or come down a little? Usually do 3.5 hours of heavy lifting a week and 40 mins hiit

(41:30) - Having a hard time deciding on a goal because I like a little bit of everything. I am currently doing a cut and want to shed fat to look fit and athletic. But I also want to progress with strength specifically in squats and pull-ups. And I also want to be able to jump into a hiit workout with friends whenever the occasion presents itself. My question is if my main goal is aesthetics but I want to keep working on strength and still have a good aerobic system, what do I do for training? Does it really come down to cycling goals throughout the year?
