We've all had difficult clients. The ones who never check in, the ones who check in WAY too much, the ones who seem to think we can deliver the earth and aren't satisfied when we don't.  But does there ever come a point where you can fire a client? That's what we're discussing today, alongside some questions about your clients going to other people for advice and squat/bench/deadlift variations for powerlifters. Also - the SBS Academy is opening its doors again on August 28th. We have some really exciting new things to share with students (including our very own app), so head over to... https://shreddedbyscience.com/academy/ ...and make sure that you're subscribed to either the email list OR you can now get Facebook Messenger updates from us.  If you've got a specific question for us, you can now ask us that here.
