#65 How To Avoid Getting Skinny Fat

Ep. 65

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



  • How to get out of that "Skinny Fat" phase while building muscle and still burning fat.



  • Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. Is it more than “the pump” during/after a workout? Can it be sustained, or is it only a temporary effect?



  • Best set/rep range for hypertrophy.



  • Best muscle-building protein powder.



  • How to develop.mind-muscle connection. Is it possible to feel a muscle imbalance due to being right or left-handed?



  • Are there any accurate websites or apps to calculate calorie intake?



  • When to cut, bulk, and maintain.

  • 60. #60 Why You Should Use Cluster Sets

    20:38
    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!https://tommouland.typeform.com/to/XHhe2u3L

    37:12
    In this weekly live Q&A in Tom The Trainer’s Tribe, we dived into the thought process behind your arm training, based on new routine ideas for biceps and triceps.We talked about the muscle fiber types; how to assess which type you're dominant in, and whether or not you should emphasize training for one more than the other.Some other great questions were how to eat more times during the day, with some snack options, plus a really easy way to set your calorie intake to guarantee your body is thriving instead of just surviving.We wrapped it up by touching base on the truth behind the belief that working out or doing cardio first thing in the morning burns more calories.
