Ep. 327 Q&A - Body Dysmorphia, The Afternoon Crash, Stubborn Body Fat, Consistency Through Summer, & More - The Coaches Roundtable

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris welcome Coach Kelsey back to answer listener Q&A. They start by talking about staying consistent over summer events—barbecues, cookouts, weddings—without giving up all progress. Coaching isn't just macros and workouts—it’s mindset work.They then tackle common listener questions:The 2–3 p.m. energy slump: low carbs, calorie deficits, and cortisol dips play a role; strategies include tweaking meal timing, adding carbs, short walks, and proper hydration.Best way to do 50 reps: stick with sets, not spreading reps hours apart—your muscles need consecutive stimulus to grow.Overcoming body dysmorphia: focus on what your body CAN do (strength, energy, habits), use logic vs. emotion, and track wins or get support.Tackling stubborn fat: be patient, maintain consistency, assess whether extra effort is worth it, and remember genetics play a role.Chapters(00:00) Welcome & intro to summer consistency(02:00) Why mindset > macros and workouts(07:02) Q1: What causes the 2–3 p.m. energy crash?(13:07) Q2: Breaking up 50 reps—best structure?(17:05) Q3: Dealing with body dysmorphia(30:43) Q4: Getting rid of stubborn body fatSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris’ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective
