In today's market, the Coaching industry is saturated, and while it may be good for the sport of bodybuilding to gain a lot more traction and momentum, the reality is that many of these "online coaches" are just not good.

Tim and Alex have gone over this topic in several episodes. In this week's episode, we had the pleasure of bringing on board Marcus Seidel of Seidel Nutrition, based in St. Louis, Missouri.

Marcus has been in the game for over a decade he's a well-seasoned veteran of the sport and has stepped on stage with many who are now pros. He explains some of his beliefs as to why the sport is actually losing a bit of traction as of late; Hint! is because those "online coaches" just aren't good.

Marcus prided himself on being the best prep coach. However, as business started to get a bit low, he needed a new plan, and that's when he decided to buy a house and build a gym to grow his business. In this episode, you'll hear about his journey to success and learn a bit about how he ended up with 1stPhorm.

Welcome back everyone, on today's episode we were joined by Gareth Buchan a young Scottish entrepreneur in the fitness industry. Oh! and BTW as of this recording he just opened up his gym 'REPS' ... It's just something about those UK guys they really do this stuff well.
The physique collective is right there with the best of them like the muscle mentors and one of the founding members Gareth talked to us about the beginning of this membership site, how it all got started, and that path that was required to reach the success that they currently have.
This is a great listen for the coaches who are also entrepreneurs and just want to learn and do as much as they can. Gareth is proof that if you have a solid team around you who all push each other then there is a great chance that you will succeed.
Overall it's a great listen not just for those who are into business but Gareth's story and the journey will likely inspire you to take action today! It was a great pleasure having him on the show, make sure to check out the links below and in the show notes, and check him out on social media.

This week the ECC team was supposed to have a guest on board, however unfortunately due to schedule constraints, our guest could not make it.

This however does now mean that we can not make a great episode without our guests, This week Tim and Alex talk about the mental rigors of hard dieting phases. Those looking from the outside in can say it's all easy to be prepared and eat clean food on a daily basis, and for the most we would probably agree with them. After you get into a routine it can be quite easy to keep it going.

The difficult part is when it's crunch time about 4-6 weeks away from a goal whether that is a stage for males or females or just simply peak physical condition as it would relate to more of our general population listeners and clients.

How deep should you dig in order to overcome these difficult times, sometimes it's what determines a great outcome or a shi**y one.

As competitors and ultimately the person who is going through the physical transformation you should always be cognizant and aware and remember that you do ultimately have the control.

Jason Theobald is the owner of Scooby Prep, a high-end contest preparation, and coaching service for athletes including nutritional guidance. Nuethix Formulations is Jason's supplement brand you can find it at Nuethix.com
Jason joins us for a second time on the pod, if you've been a long time listener, you would remember he actually joined us last season and we got into the topic of business and lifestyle of the coaching industry but I think we wanted a little more, so this week Tim and Jason open up about HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy.
This is a topic that you won't want to miss as it relates to many competitive athletes.

This week on the every calorie counts podcast we have a special guest, Alex Tilinca. Alex is transgender and also happens to be an impressive bodybuilder.

I think we can all agree that at some point we feel like we know everything and we have all come across a point and time where we make assumptions and quite honestly sometimes those assumptions are so far from the Truth.

We decided to name this episode "live your truth" for that very reason. Alex has quite the story and I think EVERYONE should listen to this. 

This is truly a special episode "LIVE YOUR TRUTH"

Welcome to this week's episode!

We had the pleasure of having Holly Davage all the way from the UK join on this week. She is a scientist by day and a bikini competitor by night.
she talked to us about what it's like to train like a competitor in the bikini division as well as opened up on training aspects like intensity and volume and some of the differences between trainees who are more in a beginner stage vs trainees who have are more developed and have been doing it for a while already.

This is a great episode jam-packed with knowledge experience and practical application.

This week our special guest Caleb Disney joins us to open up again on a topic that we have been talking about quite a bit on the podcast.

The whole landscape of social media, Instagram more in particular, and how it is so easy to hide behind veils of social media and be something that you're not.

When we come across those who are genuine and authentic in what they post it is generally a breath of fresh air which is why Tim decided to bring Caleb on board this week.

Caleb is a 26-year-old bodybuilder and coach who has been building an impressive portfolio of transformations with his clients and his social media is not the typical content of your run-of-the-mill fitness coach in the online space.

Today's episode is just a general conversation as we continue to open up about the weak underbelly of social media.

It's a great listen because it opens up your eyes and what to look out for if you in the search of an online coach, and if you ARE an online coach you kind of know what to avoid... generally.
