    Program Design Strategies & Coaching Wisdom w/ Luka Hocevar (Part 2)

    In this Part 2 crossover with Luka Hocevar of the Vigor Life Podcast, Cody and Luka go deep on real program design, client results, and what separates average trainers from true professionals. They break down how elite coaches think about principles vs. methods, why wildly different programs can both work, and how to sequence training so clients actually progress instead of getting beat up. You’ll hear stories from decades in the trenches—coaching gen pop, pro athletes, and everyone in between—and why mentorship, apprenticeship, and communication skills matter just as much as sets and reps. This is a must-listen for coaches, trainers, and serious lifters who want to build programs—and careers—that actually last. 👉 Listen to Part 1 on Luka’s Vigor Life Podcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0gp1uXtwfRUcBkfS1P1uim?si=kcUu2vhPRwuxdV5kTzQrug  Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/vigor-life-podcast/id1180256583?mt=2  YouTube: https://youtu.be/iKvQMkDmx-A?si=YbHzAuEhgNnRYqco  📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com ❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE: ⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.com ℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS: ⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching} ⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody} 📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE: ⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com 🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL: ⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all  💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off): https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD 🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES: - SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠  - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠  GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW: 📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠  💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠ IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠ YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠ INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

    #86 - Nutrition for Fat Loss: 7 Proven Principles Every Diet Must Have

    In this solo episode of The Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom breaks down the 7 fat loss nutrition principles he teaches every online client — the same science-backed framework responsible for thousands of successful transformations through Tailored Coaching Method (used in this IG post, here). At the core of fat loss is one unbreakable truth: energy balance rules everything. Cody explains why controlling calories isn’t about starving yourself — it’s about matching your intake to your goals so your body can perform, recover, and burn fat efficiently. He covers the nutritional differences between fat loss, maintenance, muscle building, and performance nutrition, and explains how stress, hormones, and training volume all influence your daily caloric needs. You’ll learn: - Why fat loss is impossible without a consistent calorie deficit - How maintenance calories create stability, recovery, and sustainability - Why high performers often need a calorie surplus - How stress, sleep, and hormones change your nutritional needs - The role training volume plays in fueling your body - The truth about “eating more to lose weight” - Why mastering energy balance simplifies every diet you'll ever try If you want a no-BS guide to fat loss nutrition — one rooted in physiology, not fads — this episode is your roadmap. 📌 Follow Choose Hard on instagram @choosehardpodcast and grab Choose Hard Merch at www.choose-hard.com ❓ASK YOUR QUESTION FOR THE NEXT Q&A EPISODE: ⇨ question.choosehardpodcast.com ℹ️ LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ONLINE COACHING PROGRAMS: ⇨ www.fatlosstransformation.com {1-On-1 Coaching} ⇨ https://www.tailored-coaching.com/mentorship-coaching {Mentorship w/ Cody} 📲 DOWNLOAD MY APP & START A TRAINING PLAN, FOR FREE: ⇨ www.thetailoredtrainer.com 🛒 PURCHASE YOUR CHOOSE HARD HAT & JOURNAL: ⇨https://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.shop/collections/all  💊 JOCKOFUEL SUPPLEMENTS (Code CHOOSEHARD for 20% Off): https://jockofuel.com/discount/CHOOSEHARD 🎙️CLIENT CASE STUDIES & TRANSFORMATION STORIES: - SPOTIFY: ⁠https://bit.ly/tlrd-transformations-spotify⁠  - APPLE PODCASTS:⁠https://apple.co/3GPlDxG⁠  GET MORE FREE CONTENT AT THE LINKS BELOW: 📖 FREE ARTICLES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog⁠  💾 FREE GUIDES: ⁠https://tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guides⁠ IG -⁠https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom⁠ YOUTUBE -⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1⁠ INQUIRIES – ⁠info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com

    #85 - Andrew Coates: Why the Fitness Industry is Divided⏤and Trusting Science, Not Feelings

    In this episode of The Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom sits down with Andrew Coates (@andrewcoatesfitness) to tackle one of the most controversial debates in the fitness and health world: the clash between evidence-based science and ideologically driven messaging. Cody and Andrew dive deep into the rise of “health at any size,” the growing divide between research and rhetoric, and why the fitness industry has become afraid to speak uncomfortable truths about body fat, metabolic health, and long-term outcomes. Together, they challenge misinformation, discuss why nuance gets lost online, and explain why credible voices must push back against misleading narratives. You’ll learn: - Why ideology is replacing evidence in parts of the fitness industry - The truth about adiposity and metabolic disease risk - Why many coaches stay silent out of fear - The difference between empowering body positivity and denying biology - Why “comforting lies” often outperform factual information - How the industry can move toward more honest, science-led conversations This episode is for anyone who wants clarity, honesty, and real evidence in a world full of noise. If you’re tired of misinformation — on either side of the spectrum — this conversation will sharpen your perspective and elevate your understanding of health. This is the kind of truth the industry needs — even if it’s not the truth everyone wants to hear.

    In this episode of The Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom sits down with Mike Stella, founder of Movement Underground—one of the most innovative pain and rehab facilities in New York. Mike challenges mainstream beliefs around pain and breaks down why: 1️⃣ Pain doesn’t mean you’re broken. 2️⃣ Pain is information—not a stop sign. 3️⃣ Your mindset determines your recovery.

You’ll learn: ✅ Why people stay stuck in pain (and why it’s rarely physical) ✅  How to turn pain into a catalyst for getting stronger ✅  Why trying to avoid discomfort keeps you from improving ✅ The difference between treating pain and transforming behavior Whether you're an athlete, coach, or someone dealing with chronic pain—or you simply want to get stronger mentally and physically—this episode will change how you view pain, movement, and personal growth. Pain can stop you or pain can shape you. The choice is yours.
