ASK BOOM-BOOM YOUR QUESTION HERE ---- Timestamps: 2:00 - How do you feel about nutrition programs for coaches that put together meals plans based on macros you set, such as evolution nutrition? 8:00 - Benefits of doing isometric holds, drop sets, Back off sets, changing tempo? Some have evidence to support while other styles are just “fun”, curious what you think the best/worst variations are and how we should implement them into training / programming. 13:45 - I'm a nurse working three 13-hour shifts per week, three days in a row, so I have four days off in a row every week.

Do you think there are any major negatives from training 4 days in a row and then having 3 days in a row off? 16:45 - Is it possible to permanently increase your metabolic rate/maintenance calories by doing phases of massing to put on lean body mass then cut back down and relating this? 19:00 - In your coaching experience do you think months of chronic dieting can really lower your maintenance calories a significant amount? 20:20 - How to get back into an exercise program after being sick? I am fairly new to lifting (8 months). I have the flu at the moment and have been off from training for a week. How long should I wait before I start my program again? What advice do you have for starting after illness/flu. 23:28 - Is being “very“ lean as a female (for a longer period of time) ok if you're feeling good ?
