The Importance of Total Calories and Adjusting Protein Intake

The questions we’re answering this week:

📍 How do you advise introducing complex movements like the split jerk to people new to fitness and give them proper progressions, especially when trainers may be teaching them without proper mechanics?

📍 What is the best way to reach a protein goal of 160g while staying within a fat goal when tracking macros to lose weight?

📍 How can I address the priorities as a couple when planning a massive wedding that holds significance for my fiance and her family, but not for mine?

PLUS:

We’re talking about Ben’s experience this summer trying (and struggling) to balance family life with work life.
