  • In this weekly live Q&A in Tom The Trainer’s Tribe, I answered questions for the members and some of my clients regarding...


    Growing a business as an online trainer in an environment that pressures you to either be on PEDs or perpetually lean.Reducing weights every month for a week to give muscles and ligaments time to build and heal. Is it true?I can’t squat low nor do a decent sumo squat without my femur feeling “stuck” in my hip joint (like the femur has no more motion to give in the acetabulum, or like it needs to pop). How can I safely correct this and improve ROM?Transitioning from weight loss to a maintenance build phase. How to get out of the mindset of needing and wanting to drop weight after such a long journey?Once someone has added all the muscle they intend to, what is a good approach to simply maintaining that muscle mass if they want to stay relatively lean all year round? Can you just lift the same weights every week in the gym, or do you have to keep providing some type of new stimulus?I hate cardio so I have been doing it before weight training. Does it matter whether you do them before or after weight training?What bad habit(s) - physical, nutritional, and emotional - have you witnessed THE MOST that you wish people would just break?Why after three days of reduced carbs does my strength drastically reduce?How should older people work out for the best results? I know as we get older we lose muscle mass quicker so if in good enough shape, should we lift heavier weights to maintain muscle mass?

    Bulking. What's the purpose of holding weight before going to the next step?Am I doing damage to myself by carrying this intermittent fasting for over 6 months?

    Cliff bar as a snack between meals.Walking backward on the treadmill at the gym. Does it strengthen the knees?Why do greats like Jay Cutler often seem to break conventional bodybuilding rules (emphasizing time under tension (TUT) and slower tempos)?

Difference between standing and sitting, lat bar vs cuffs.Getting back into the gym after a month off.When isolating delts, (either inclined bench with DBs or cable work), what is the best practice for scapular movement/positioning?

    Tips to make negative knee extension/hyperextension seamless without overcompensating and putting it on the lower back.The best exercise for Rear Delts. Top 3 exercises for those boulder shoulders.Listening to music while working out vs. not?If you’re dealing with issues such as bad knees, or issues in your lower back, hips, or shoulders — should you perform rehabilitation exercises before your workout, or simply perform a few rehab maneuvers before the 1st working set that involves the body part in question?Is there an “ideal time” to switch from bulk to cut or vice versa? (i.e. watching for trends in weight fluctuations, cues from the body, etc.)When I try to bulk up I tend to notice certain parts of my body do not get bigger (forearms, calves, and wrists). Beyond just lifting heavier, what movements can truly target wrists and forearms and is it worth focusing on them or just hitting them with compound movements?What to do if you're bulking and have a hard time eating enough food.

    In this weekly live Q&A in Tom The Trainer’s Tribe, I answered questions for the members and some of my clients regarding...


    Since a cut is usually about maintaining existing muscle while losing fat, how much can we lower the intensity of our workouts before the body starts sending signals that it doesn’t “need” the muscle anymore? Assuming things like recovery are in check and the person isn’t in an extreme deficit and is consuming the proper protein amount.When building muscle concerning “how many reps”, the general advice is to take sets near failure. Does it matter whether or not volume is equated? Does more strength equal maximal muscle growth?What are the most common misconceptions new clients have that you must educate them on before they become successful in their efforts?Pineapple as a carb source. Are there any cons to using canned versus fresh?How does footwear affect your lift?Is there such a thing as “too much cardio”?How do you tell the difference between doms, injury, and random aches and pains that pop up for no reason after exercise?What is suggested for rep ranges based on muscle groups? Such as for the bigger lifts like Squats, Bench, Deadlifts and such it's said to do 5 sets of 5-8 but with smaller lifts like curls, is doing 15-20 more beneficial? Is this even true or is there some truth to this?Proper technique hinging hips for things like Rdls, Upright Rows, etc. Am I using my back too much?

  • This episode is an interview with a coach that I have a lot of respect for Jon Vlahogiannakos from Strong Jon Fitness who specializes in working with parents and has interviewed me a couple of years ago on his podcast as well.


    We discuss our methods surrounding nutrition and training which we do a bit differently, but share many similar beliefs in the way we help our clients.


    This episode is FULL of great information that you can put to use in your own transformation and if you want to check out more of Jon's content I highly suggest you follow him on IG @Strongjonfitness and listen to his Strong Jon Fitness podcast on Spotify.

  • This episode is all about a unique training method that I’ve been using with in-person clients since 2018. 


    It’s about extending your sets, creating lots of metabolic stress, and increasing training volume through something called “Cluster Sets” which this episode will teach you all about!


    I’ve got a program called "The Clusters of Muscle Method" which uses the two different versions explained here that’s been used exclusively with my in-person clients, getting them phenomenal results in strength, muscle gain, and fat loss with only 4 sessions per week.


    I’ve recently decided to not only make it available online, but I’ve taken my 6 years of experience transforming over 313 clients since writing the original and made it better.


    I’m celebrating its online launch by giving ONE lucky winner a completely free 12 weeks of one-to-one coaching and 5 others a partial scholarship to run the program as the founding clients for this NEW version.


    If you’re serious about transforming over the next 12 weeks and are coachable, fill out the application link below and tell me why I should choose you for your chance to win!
