Also, I’m currently doing the female physique program on the tailored trainer… What is the benefit from doing box squats versus full range? I’ve noticed this is also in your glute specialization program and wondered if it has better glute activation? 14:25 - Im 19, 70kg, 172cm and currently doing the bulletproof bodybuilding female x5 week and thinking of doing a bikini comp in a few years (thinking 2025 ish) so I have a bit of time. I was just wondering what you think a general timeline would be for a goal like this in regards to time spent in cuts, maintenance and bulking. I am planning on getting a coach in the future (in a year or so since I feel like just doing the app is working really really well for me rn). What split and what calorie cycling (cut-bulk phases) would you recommend? 24:05 - I train early AM, 4am early, as that is the only time I can fit into my schedule. Since I train fasted, would EAAs be essential to drink? I don’t eat anything as i need time to digest, I have tried small things, banana, protein shake, riced cakes, but still I don’t find it helpful in my works and just feel full. 30:30 - Is there a point of diminishing return when it comes to steps/walking? I find myself with 13k-15k a day. Days where I walk more, I seem to have a little increased inflammation compared to days closer to the 13k. 35:00 - I’m a few weeks into my 1st TCM program. I consider myself an intermediate lifter as I’ve done some strongman training where I got used to setting weights based on reps x sets to push near failure for most exercises / sessions. Is it ok to do this rather than focusing on the RPE/RIR suggestions? —- Extra Content For You:  How We Coach: Client Case Study Article Top 4 Podcast Episodes: - Nutritional Periodization - Nutrition FAQ -
