    13. Ep. 19 New Co-Hosts Q&A

      In this episode we welcome our 2 new co-hosts to join John Gorman on the show- Jeff Su and Lisa Franz! They kick things off with a Q and A and cover other cool topics. See show notes below:

      Q1: What advice do you have for someone with binge/over eating episodes? I am dialed in with my nutrition 98% of the time, but on occasion I cannot stop after 1 cookie, find myself finishing the whole pack just to feel incredibly gross about myself and ashamed because I lost control…

      Q2: I am trying really hard to build my best physique, but it feels lonely at times because everyone around me says I focus too much on this.  How have you dealt with this or helped clients with it?

      Q3: Currently dealing with a niggly back injury. 

      1. Would you recommend training through it and if so what adjustments.
      2. I am worried if I reduce my training frequency I will lose gains and strength and also that my calorie expenditure will reduce. Should I adjust calories?
      3. Q4: I’m going on vacation to Barcelona for 3 weeks. How should I eat? I want to enjoy the food and culture but also not undo my progress. I’m not sure if I’ll have access to a gym or not. How should we do check-ins when I’m gone or should we just pause coaching for a month?

      5. Ep. 17 Jeff Su- Applying Deductive Reasoning to Coaching/Physique Enhancement

        In this episode guest host Jeff Su joins the show to break down how to navigate coaching and physique enhancement using deductive reasoning. Show notes below:

        – Skills needed for coaching… What makes a coach “good” versus “not so good”… accuracy, consistency of results, how do good coaches do it when each case is always different?

        – The ability to think deductively… along with the ability to read, learn, dissect, and apply

        – Client cases… what does a typical case across our desks look like?

        – Tracing back client history, medications, prior coaching…. how to lay it out? Is there a good way to organize info?

        – Feeders/systems of the body and mind to consider… how does this tie into coaching service offerings and pricing? Where do coaches go wrong which short-circuit the process?

        – A step by step recommendation on how to apply this deductive “algorithm” to client cases for all coaches to improve.

      6. Ep. 16 Natural Vs. Enhanced Physique Enhancement

        You might see the results of people and wonder.. is that the route I should go? What would happen if I go down that route? What would testosterone do to me? If I stay natural, how can you keep test high? Can you make progress if you stay natural? What would bloodwork show if you are on test vs not on test? Why is blood work necessary either way? We dive deep into both aspects of being natural vs on TRT or enhanced and what comes with both choices.
