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) ---- Apply For Coaching: bit.ly/Coaching-App Get Your Free Copy of The Nutrition Hierarchy, HERE Learn How We Coach: Read This Case Study Article Top 4 Episodes: - Nutritional Periodization - Nutrition FAQ - Training FAQ - My Story ---- You can get access to ALL of our content in one place, now: www.boomboomperformance.com/links Join The Boom Boom Elite (BBP’s Membership Site) to receive exclusive content and interviews, monthly training programs, bonus eBooks, the private coaching forum, and more by visiting https://boomboomperformance.com/elite <
