Is this BS?
He isn’t changing my diet or plan for this week.

I personally think that you're lean enough to start adding some mass.

Question... He says that he wants to better your insulin sensitivity. Has he...

1. Checked your fasting blood glucose levels in the morning?

2. Checked your blood glucose after meals to see how high you spike? And about an hour later(or a few time intervals) to see how fast you clear your blood glucose?

3. Any bloodwork to check your A1C at least?

It all sounds fine and dandy, using the term insulin sensitivity to sound smart. But if he's not even checking it, well...... 🤔🤔🤔

Thank you .. I was about to go there, basically call out that the coach is BS, and there's no way for him to know you have an insulin sensitivity issue for him to be concerned about.

Right!!!

What if your insulin sensitivity is close to ideal right now, he'd have no idea.

Maybe he just likes his clients as lean as possible before a really long gain phase? I don't know.

Has he even seen you? You're no where near fat. You're not 7%, but you don't need to be.... and you don't have an insulin sensitivity issue.

This guy is back pedaling now. I don't care how good his clients look, but I would start looking for a different coach. You're questions aren't over the top, or unreasonable.

It boils down to whether you want a coach who tells you what to do, and you do it.

Or one that will communicate with you, the whats, whys, and hows.

Neither one is better than the other, just which is the best fit for you.

Whichever you decide though, you have to be on board 100%, no doing shit behind his/her back.

I wouldn't put my friends 16 year old son on a 2000 calorie diet. He basically has you on a cut.

Did you both talk about goals? When you signed up did you tell him you want to put on mass, show him your pictures and videos posing? If so what did he say to that? Did he tell you he was going to start you out on a cut?

it feels like he just has you on some cookie cutter plan, and wants to commit minimal time to you. First he says he's fixing your insulin sensitivity... then he says you don't need to check your glucose unless you're on GH? Get the f' out of here with that talking out both sides of your face BS.

It kind of sounds like he's shaping you for what he finds ideal, not what you, the client wants. Id start shopping. Your paying him, he's there to get you to where you wanna be
