[Troubleshooting Series Day 4] - Analyzing your Maintenance Phase

Welcome to the Troubleshooting Series Day 4—your go-to in-depth guide for understanding why you're not making more progress when building your shape and exactly what to do about it. 

This series is made for ladies who lift weights and want to look like they lift. Per usual this keeps science-backed strategies and sustainable nutrition routines in mind.

In this episode you'll learn how to troubleshoot a Maintaining Phase:

• Why a Maintenance Phase is different than “doing nothing” and not having a goal
• Why it is extremely easy to gain body fat if you’re not doing this one thing
• The 4 goals you are always choosing from, even if you’re not choosing
• How to review the past 4-12 months for maintenance, with or without data trends
• Should you gain weight after a body fat loss phase? (how much and how long after if so)
• Reading the scale and the difference between body fat, water retention, inflammation, and muscle glycogen
• The ONE cause for gaining body fat when the goal is to maintain
• The 3 Drivers that create a (potentially unknown) calorie surplus
• The percentage of effort required to maintain muscle
• Managaing macros, estimating macros, alcohol, snacks, weekends
• How to create your maintenance baseline

The entire Troubleshooting Series has been summarized into a straight-forward review and checklist for you to reference and apply to your specific plan.
