Are you training hard enough? | ETP#57
Are you training hard enough? How do you know? What are some of the clues you can use to subjectively perceive “enough” in the middle of a set? These are concepts we explore and provide personal feedback on in this episode. Additionally, we answer the remaining questions from episode #56 consisting of missing bicep pumps, Bryan’s new personal program on Paragon, is LMNT a good idea, how much Vitamin D to take, and eating less on rest/non-training days.Episode Questions:1. My bicep pumps are gone, I have done more & less volume, both with DB & cables. Carbs are up??2. Comparing Bryans program to the general Physique template at Paragon 3. Is LMNT or an electrolyte/sodium drink a good idea for everyone? 4. Good starting rec for Vitamin D. Is 6k IU a good starting point?5. On rest days/weekends, I find I am not nearly as hungry. Would it be ok to prioritize mostly protein and just let the carbs/fat fall wherever even if it means lower cal intake overall?

February Coaches Q&A | ETP#56
Today we have another edition of our Coaches Q&A segment where other nutrition coaches, in-person and online trainers submit questions. If you’re a new/established coach or looking to get into the space feel free to DM us question specifics to be covered on future Coaches Q&A episodes.1. What do you guys think about training abs before the primary workout? 2. What’s the order of training? Is it conditioning, strength then hypertrophy?3. Would love to know how you phase training between hypertrophy, metabolic and neurologic phases?4. Do your daily calories or macro splits change for rest days?5. How do you deal with unmotivated clients?6. Do you think personal trainers and nutritionists should be more distinct, and PTs not seen as a “one stop shop” for everything fitness related?7. Calculating Macros using TDEE if you lift 4x/week. How do you account for a super sedentary job?8. How to know how much protein someone needs? 9. How to deal with a client too focused on staying super lean but wants to add size?10. Is training each body part 2x over 9 days instead of 7 days still “optimal”?11. What is your check-in process for online clients? Training, nutrition, sleep, etc. Cheers guys.Coaching with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/metabolic-performance-protocolDone For You Client Check-In System for Online Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

New Year: New Goals Q&A | ETP#50
Milestone episode number 50 landing right as we head into a brand new year. To kick the year off we have a rapid fire style Q&A segment and we cover a lot of different topics. Let’s jump into the questions!1. Aside from not getting a variety of minerals, etc. from different food sources (and possible food boredom) is there anything not optimal about eating the same foods day after day for let’s say a month or longer at a time if they meet your macro goals?2. Programming perspective/beliefs we used to hold that have now changed dramatically? 3. In tracked maintenance for a 3 months after a long time of inconsistency. Is Physique cycle a good one to begin a bulk? Also, I suffer from Gastroparesis and can’t bulk much (about 300 surplus). Will that do anything? 4. C19 in October. Bad case, tons of fatigue and breathing issues. Struggling, and having to choose work or workout, as fatigue is too high for both. Sleeping 9-10 hrs a night for last 2 weeks. Also all whoop readings red for a number of weeks. Used to be an avid hiker, but really struggling to workout and walk or get any super consistent movement day to day. Any words of advice or encouragement? 5. Super confused on failure training. Is one set to failure enough? Why would I want to do 2 sets ever? Is it better? Would you try to hit failure on every exercise in a workout if safety isn’t an issue? 6. Best way to load a sissy squat? Weighted vest?7. Thank you for all your knowledge and assistance throughout the year :) 8. In a training rut for myself. What good resources can you suggest? 9. Full body routines fatigue me too much for the final few exercises. Should I switch up the order? 10. How to get over a breakup. The chemistry was amazing, and three months later I am worse off 11. Best way to optimize upper body training when you can’t train lower with a broken leg? 12. How do you assess how you are recovering and when you need to take a rest day instead of train? 13. Reverse or Recovery diet? 14. In a superset, start with short or lengthened movement first? Why? 15. Cable machines…. Does it get harder or easier as you move closer to the cable stack? 16. How does narrow/wide stance impact a Glute bridge? 17. In your current setup, are you hitting upper 3x/week and lower 2x/week? 18. Who would get better results and why: Person training only lengthened movements, person with an even mix between lengthened/shortened/mid-range?19. Advice on moving away from scale and food/macro tracking. Irrational fear of loss of control…Coaching with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/metabolic-performance-protocolDone For You Client Check-In System for Online Coaches ⬇ Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST
