691 - Q&A: Lean Gaining Phase, Body Fat Percentage, Volume vs Intensity, And More….

THINGS MENTIONED: Reverse Diet FAQ Physical Preparation Podcast Episode Chris Barakatt Episode —- Timestamps: 7:35 - I am finishing up a cut and wanting to do a "lean gaining" phase for the first time ever while actually tracking my macros. What would your recommended approach be with my calorie surplus, training, supplementation, etc…? 18:05 - I'm a working mom and I'm trying to figure out the best way to maximize my functional training. I want to be able to lift kids, garden, etc with no problem. I'm currently lifting 3 days a week and have a good handle on nutrition/ macros. How do I insert mobility training/ conditioning moves or workouts into my schedule? Add them to existing workouts vs. adding a day to do those exercises? 21:25 - Is there a recommended body fat percentage to get to before bulking? 25:00 - During a lean bulk, is it ok (or counterproductive) to drop carbs by 50g (thus calories by 200) on non training days? 33:25 - Would you say 175g of protein for me at 127-129lb is too much? 36:40 - I wanted to understand if both Volume and Intensity take load into account? If volume=reps x sets x load, and Intensity is RPE/RIR which factors load into it somewhat, how do I look at Volume and Intensity separately though it seems related? 41:45 - How do you decide which movements are tagged to which RPE/RIR? Is this something that progresses over weeks? How would you suggest building a complete novice's aerobic base if they don't have access to a full gym 45:30 - For pull-up progression, is the pull-up machine (using the weight to set off the resistance) or using progression of bands more effective? Or does it matter? 47:30 - When using dumbbells for something that could be loaded with two hands, like a Bulgarian split squat for example, does it lose effectiveness or benefit in any way to just load one side with a heavier dumbbell. —- Apply to join the TCM Team HERE Apply for our World Renowned Coaching Program, RIGHT HERE.
