This is a "Coaching Series" Podcast, where Coach Cody is going to dive deep into a specific topic and truly coach you through it; so you can learn, apply, and begin to achieve better results! And for this episode, Cody teaches: The Hierarchy of Muscle Growth Effort — Research shows that if you don’t train hard enough, you just won’t achieve the best growth. Period. No matter what else you do optimally, it’s ineffective without getting close enough to failure. Volume — This is the biggest equalizer inside hypertrophy research and the most important aspect for muscle growth, on paper/inside programs, is volume. Specifically being the amount of total sets done per muscle, per week. But even beyond that, it’s just total work done that trumps all. Exercise Selection — Finding the right exercises for you is key. This matters most because of your personal posture and limb lengths, your mind muscle connection, your goals, and your ability to progress the movements overtime. Varying Rep Ranges — We know that we can bu

The entire Tailored Coaching Method staff got together this week, as they do twice per year, and worked on what we call a “Purpose Charter”. In the most truest sense, it’s a declaration of excellence. Because it’s a document that outlines our Vision, Mission, Values, and Principles — however it goes beyond just declaring what these aspects might be… it was signed upon as an agreement to live up to these things, every single day of our lives.  Why do this? And why take this “coaching thing” so dang serious…? Because the only way to change the world is by first changing ourselves, next changing those we work with — to a level that truly changes their lives, and finally to impact those who simply observe our actions, so much that they too begin to change prior lives for the better.  Being a true change maker isn’t a simple task… But we’re taking it on and that’s how we will change the coaching industry, for good.  —
