Timestamps:
2:35 - 1) How do you measure success in a (lean) bulk -besides progress in the gym of course. (especially if the person is afraid of gaining weight)
8:24 - 2) You recently said that you prefer building muscle and strength at maintenance calories. Is this possible for everyone? Can you do something like a pro & con of trying to gain muscle & strength at maintenance calories vs. at a small surplus?
13:15 - 3) I've got a client with sciatica pain. Can I somehow help her with not being a doctor?
I want her to lower her stress level because I think it's somehow stress-induced. But is there something physical she can do? Some stretches, some exercises, or even some supplements, etc.?
17:30 - When implementing regular diet breaks during a fat loss phase, what is the best way to periodize training during that week? Should training remain constant including cardio, take out cardio but push hard with weight training since you have extra calories, or use it as a deload week?
21:40 - Is there any evidence behind the whole "no sex for peak performance" myth?
24:47 - If my compound lifts are very challenging at a particular weight, should I stay at that weight the next week or continue adding weight?
28:24 - Could you respond to Stacy Sim’s Ted talk about female physiology as it relates to nutrition and exercise?
31:02 - Tidying up cellulite around glutes and upper hamstrings for competitors? Nutrition/training protocols/tips?
33:30 - Have 50lbs to lose, I’ve dedicated 3+ months to dieting (w/ refeeds), stuck current weight (hit a plateau)... time to maintain? What should I do?
37:06 - Biggest frustrations you experience as a coach and what you wish your clients knew?
39:30 - What’s your recommended strength training program style for muscle toning?
46:00 - Should you pull back on calories during a deload week? (I’m currently eating at maintenance)
47:20 - When starting to count macros using MFP my goal was set at 1400 based on the app. Recently I did a personal macro consult and I was recommended to go to 1647. Im new to the idea of phases such as a cut/deficit/maintenance. Should I be increasing my macros based on the consult or stick to the lower number? How do I determine what phase (cut/deficit/maintenance etc.) I should be in. Goal is to build muscle to drop inches and fat.

| 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, |
| 0:38.1 | let's get on to the show. |
| 0:48.5 | All right, let's jump right into the questions. No time to waste, no ranting, no advertising. |
| 0:54.7 | I'm not going to give you any shoutouts. I'm not going to tell you to do anything. However, if you do love this show, |
| 0:58.9 | go leave us a five-star rating review and make sure you share this on your Instagram story so I can share |
| 1:03.4 | it too and I can thank you. So I lied. I am going to give you that. But we're going to dive right |
| 1:07.2 | into these questions. The first three actually come from the same person |
| 1:10.8 | because she starts with, I've got three questions for you. And this is from Carmen Spitzer from the |
| 1:15.5 | private Facebook forum, which, by the way, guys, I'm leaving it open for you because if you are a |
| 1:19.8 | listener of this podcast, I do appreciate you quite a bit. And I want you to be in the group. I want you to |
| 1:24.1 | be in the community. I want you to join the culture. And I want to answer more of your personal questions. So the best way for you to do that and get access to more |
| 1:30.8 | of the Boom Boom Performance Podcast, education, content, so on and so forth, is to head over |
| 1:36.8 | to B.B.B.P. Forum, private forum on Facebook. I have a lot of people who try to access the private Facebook group and |
| 1:46.0 | they end up trying to add themselves into the boom boom elite. So I've declined some of those people. |
| 1:50.9 | The reason for that is because that is a private group specifically for paying members of our |
| 1:55.5 | coaching and or the training membership site, which that is also linked in the show notes. So if you want the best goddamn programs on the internet, in my opinion, of course, backed by science, |
