Failure overdoes it, especially when you do it consistently.

And so people don't get better progress with that.

We see trends where it tends to move in the opposite direction.

So I would reduce the intensity a little bit.

I'm not saying don't work out hard, but don't go to failure.

And then when it plateaus, you bump your calories again.

You have a good coach.

I like what your coach is doing with you.

Yeah.

And so I would communicate to the coach and I would say, hey-

I'd like to just get strong.

Well, this gives me some clarity then.

So you've listened to a lot of our episodes.

It sounds like you've kind of had some.

you want a new coach you want to work with a coach that we hired that's going to help move you in the right direction they don't have to advocate I'll have somebody call you but you're moving in the right direction what it's going to look like is a bump in calories reduction in steps different programming and you'll see the strength gains you'll see what you're looking for for sure it's going to feel a little uncomfortable because calories are going to keep going up you're going to feel like you're building which might be like oh my god am I getting bigger but if you focus on the strength that's going to really move you in the right direction okay

Great energy, great mood, hormones.

Hormones balance.

150 pounds at 21% body fat will look more sculpted.

Okay, so that's the thing about body fat.

I mean, yes, you can go too high with body fat, but low 20s is low when you have muscle, you look sculpted, you've got good shape.
