Description

Today is another Coaching Roundtable where I sit down with two other established coaches and discuss various common (and misunderstood) topics that arise inside the training and nutrition coaching space.

In this episode we have Christopher Barakat; Bodybuilder, Prep Coach, Owner of Competitive Breed, and Graduate of the Exercise and Nutritional Science Masters Program at University of Tampa, as well as a currently teaching professor and published scientist in the Human Performance Lab. We also have William Grazione; Pro Natural Bodybuilder, Coach, Bachelors of Exercise Science, and owner of Metabolic Evolution.

Be sure to screenshot the show, post it on your IG story and tag myself @cody.boomboom, Chris @christopher.barakat, and Will @william_grazione

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

TRAINING:

• Opinions on the volume research that has been published in the last 1-2 years (is more really always better?)

• Effort and intent… how important is mind muscle connection, the individual’s effort inside of each rep, focus, etc. Does it matter or is it all about volume?

• Training to failure - is there a time for it? Or should we avoid it completely?

• Program hopping… how long should someone stick to the same movements? And does this change between compounds vs. accessory lifts?

• Changes in training during a fat loss vs. a hypertrophy phase? And what’s the transition look like between one phase to the next?

NUTRITION:

• Defining nutritional periodization in the aesthetic world (what’s the meaning, to you, but also the application inside your coaching)

• Thoughts on the current state of reverse dieting and metabolic adaptation (these two things have blown up, some great info and some horrid info - what’s your take?)

• Ultra high carb diets… great for retaining muscle mass on a cut and for building new tissue in off season? Or a hormonal crash course?

• When and how to add refeeds and diet breaks

• Applying the research (what to know, look out for, and consider before taking a study and implementing it without reason)
