Coaches comment

[5Noles]

In 14 weeks I will be free to train full time and would like to hire a coach to help me add some muscle.

Coaches, what data (blood work, diet, training, etc) would you need to assist you with a new client?

Thx for any input!

youre the boss
the communication goes both ways
there is no reason to put any limit on fact finding. all info is important and will lead to efficacy

I'm curious what is keeping you from training full time now?

Questions I've been asked

current stats , current cycle , previous cycles , any and all allergies , and and all medical conditions , any and all medications , any and all drug (anabolic and recreational) ,previous coaches you have worked with , last time you had full labs drawn (to show them)

then of course what are your goals , all the personal information about when you can eat and train etc.

Im a football coach.
Currently training 5 days a week for about 1hr 15min.

What level do you coach football?

For the trainer, I would definitely track macros so he knows how much your eating. There was a good thread a while back about the role of a coach if they should be interpreting and advising on blood work.

I think the key thing is finding a good coach that has time for you and not hundreds of clients doing cookie cutter plans and that you follow what they say exactly.
