Since launching Fitness Lab in November, I've gotten dozens of questions about how it works, who it's for, and how it fits with your existing tools and routines.

So I chose the 15 of the most common to answer in this episode!

1. I'm already tracking macros in MacroFactor/Cronometer/MyFitnessPal. Do I need to stop using that?
2. How does meal photo analysis actually work without counting calories?
3. Should I join Physique University or just use the app? Or both?
4. Can I follow my own training program or do I have to use the app's?
5. I'm 52 with a bum shoulder (or other limitation). Will this actually work for me?
6. How does it handle my marathon/endurance training on top of lifting?
7. Does this replace working with you 1-on-1?
8. What if I have a question about something specific, like I'm stuck on a plateau or confused about what to do next?
9. I'm on TRT and my wife's dealing with perimenopause. Does the app account for hormones?
10. What happens when I travel or life implodes and I miss a week?
11. How long until I see actual results? Be honest.
12. Can I build muscle and lose fat simultaneously?
13. How does the app actually help me stick with this long-term? I know what to do, I just can't seem to stay consistent.
14. I've failed every diet. Why would this be different?
15. What happens after the 4-phase program? Is this a temporary thing?
