2:40 - I am 5'2'' and started off around 98lbs. Since increasing my macros and adjusting my training, I am now sitting around 102-103. The goal is to get me up to around 110 so that I can cut at a healthy weight and get my calories high enough to do so with the goal of ultimately competing in a bikini show in the spring of 2020. 110 seems like a lot of weight! What are your thoughts on this?
8:40 - I have been counting macros for a little over a year and love it. It has brought me so much freedom and enjoyment to my fitness journey. I am very very active I spin quite a few days a week and strength train several days as well. I weigh about 108-110 and am 5'4. My question would be in regards to daily calorie intake I currently intake about 1500-1650 and my macros are roughly 45% protein 30% carb and 25% fat? Does this sound good for maintenance or should I increase? Which macro would be the best to increase?
13:55 - Can you discuss a natural lifters genetic potential for gaining muscle?
19:15. -What’s your take on carb cycling. Generally speaking. Is there any real validity to it for women who aren’t working towards anything specific. Just fat loss and more muscle tone.
26:35. - Best advice for tips on trying to lift heavy without having a spotter. Trying to push the last few reps while lifting solo in the gym gets difficult with certain lifts like squats & bench. I feel like I have 2-3 more in the tank, but I have to back off vs getting stuck in the hole.
29:20 - When you go to maintenance from a deficit do you ease into it like a reverse diet? Or do you go straight to maintenance without delay?
33:30 - When implementing a 48 hour refeed, should I continue to exercise as I would normally?
36:20 - Do you have any advice on transitioning from being with a coach to not having one and how to maintain a sort of “self accountability”?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Boom Boom Performance Podcast, your resource for science-based training and nutrition, |
| 0:07.2 | data-driven coaching, and education-focused content. Before we get into this podcast, I just want to say |
| 0:12.9 | thank you for taking the time to listen and learn with me so that you can apply what you are |
| 0:17.8 | about to learn, take my strategies, use these tools, and finally have |
| 0:21.8 | some serious methods to see sustainable success with your physique, your mind, and your life. |
| 0:28.2 | This podcast was built on the foundation of applied education, and I'm excited for you to be here |
| 0:34.1 | so you can have that experience with me. Now without any further ado, |
| 0:38.4 | let's get on to the show. |
| 0:44.8 | Today we have a Q&A. We're going to deep dive into these questions, rapid fire style, |
| 0:53.6 | because two reasons. |
| 0:55.0 | Number one, because I have a good amount of questions and I feel like you guys enjoy it when I just crank through these and try to give as much content as possible rather than spending too much time per question, which I also think has a lot of value. |
| 1:07.0 | Like I mentioned on the last one, I got a lot of feedback from the last podcast when I asked you to tell me, which I appreciate the people who message me saying they either like the rapid |
| 1:13.9 | fire style or they like the long specific answers, which I'm going to do a combination of both. I think |
| 1:20.2 | I'm going to save up the questions that are very detailed and then every once in a while do a |
| 1:23.5 | podcast where there's just like three or four questions and I just go in depth. But today we have |
| 1:29.8 | quite a few questions that I think I don't need to spend too much time on, but we'll see how far I go |
| 1:33.7 | with that. But before we get into the podcast, I do want to say I apologize in advance for what you |
| 1:39.8 | are listening to right now. This horrible excuse of a radio voice. I'm nasly. My throat is scratching. |
| 1:47.0 | My chest is congested. I just sound like shit, to be completely honest with you. But I also feel like |
| 1:52.8 | shit. So there's a reason for it. But nonetheless, I am here. I couldn't keep myself off the |
| 1:58.0 | mic for too long. I took the last two days off of work because I was just, I mean, whatever hit me just destroyed me. |
| 2:04.4 | I mean, cold sweats, head pressure, nasal chest, like, I mean, just down and out, slept in, |
