Do you have core values? A set of principles you live by? Standards set for you to live your life at? If not, this podcast might feel like a gut punch… Most people continue to live life without considering the standards they live up to or the values they live by; most often because they've never sat down and taken the time to set standards or values to live up to or live by. But without doing so, you'll never understand what your full potential truly is, what true success means to you, or how to accomplish a sense of fulfillment and purpose in life. Which is what I hope to bring you in todays' episode, as I share 9 thought provoking statements that challenge the life of an average individual in a way that could shape their world view and determine their level of success. —

This is a JAM PACK Q&A! Cody jumps back on the mic to dive into a variety of training and nutrition questions, all of which will hit home for you, the listener, and the answers provided will give you practical and applicable strategies for improving your physique.  Here's what's covered throughout the episode: When focused on building muscle and progressive overload, how would you recommend increasing volume week to week? If I add weight and the reps drop, that's technically less volume… Is that counterproductive? Or needed for long-term gains? Do you have any tips for maintaining muscle mass while doing a keto diet? What's the best way for a female intermediate lifter to gain 5 or so lbs of muscle w/ minimal fat gain (or possibly losing body fat while doing it)? During or after RED-S (Relative energy deficiency in sport) recovery, what approach to training would you recommend (both lifting and cardio)? So many influencers spew total BS info with regards to health and nutrition…. So how do you suggest we navigate this properly as consumers?

This is a "Coaching Series" Podcast, where Coach Cody is going to dive deep into a specific topic and truly coach you through it; so you can learn, apply, and begin to achieve better results! And for this episode, Cody teaches: The Hierarchy of Muscle Growth Effort — Research shows that if you don't train hard enough, you just won't achieve the best growth. Period. No matter what else you do optimally, it's ineffective without getting close enough to failure. Volume — This is the biggest equalizer inside hypertrophy research and the most important aspect for muscle growth, on paper/inside programs, is volume. Specifically being the amount of total sets done per muscle, per week. But even beyond that, it's just total work done that trumps all. Exercise Selection — Finding the right exercises for you is key. This matters most because of your personal posture and limb lengths, your mind muscle connection, your goals, and your ability to progress the movements overtime. Varying Rep Ranges — We know that we can build muscle in any rep range, but there's also plenty of research supporting different benefits for the higher and lower rep ranges. This leads us to believe there's more benefits to doing ALL rep ranges, every week, compared to just choosing one range.  Weekly Progressions — If an exercise can't be progressed, it's unlikely to produce continued gains overtime. So we need to not only choose the best exercises for this, but also choose the easiest form of progression inside your periodization plan and programming methods. Diet and Supplements — Calories, protein, water, sodium, creatine, nutrient timing, etc…. Aerobic Capacity — Cardio DOES matter here! It improves your energy systems, which can help fuel utilization, and also your recovery-ability, which can help you do more volume. It's also been shown to improve blood flow to the muscular system. —

The entire Tailored Coaching Method staff got together this week, as they do twice per year, and worked on what we call a “Purpose Charter”. In the most truest sense, it's a declaration of excellence. Because it's a document that outlines our Vision, Mission, Values, and Principles — however it goes beyond just declaring what these aspects might be… it was signed upon as an agreement to live up to these things, every single day of our lives.  Why do this? And why take this “coaching thing” so dang serious…? Because the only way to change the world is by first changing ourselves, next changing those we work with — to a level that truly changes their lives, and finally to impact those who simply observe our actions, so much that they too begin to change prior lives for the better.  Being a true change maker isn't a simple task… But we're taking it on and that's how we will change the coaching industry, for good.  —
