I CANT STRESS ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION IS WHY YOUR COACH! The coach/client relationship only works when the person on the other end is willing to put the time in to convey how they are feeling, looking, and progressing. Its not my job to check on you every second of the day, its my job to make assessments based on the feedback and reports I ask you to submit to me. You need to take some responsibility and send me updates, let me know if something seems off. Then we can discuss it and adjust if need be. Sometimes my answer is, suck it up, but many times I do take actions based on the feedback. Recently Ive had a competitor who is shredded from the back but we are trying to get his abs in better. I tried to drop some fats and he went really really flat. He sent pics early and let me know how he felt. When I saw them I 100% agreed our current direction was not our path. We gave him some cheat meals he still dropped weight, we then upped his macros to his refeed macros which are almost 500 carbs and i kept in the daily cheat meal for now. He finally filled out. Had he just let things keep going and not checked in for a couple days we could have sacrificed not only progression but muscle too. Rely on your coach and make use of their knowledge.
