Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com — Lindsay from Alberta on reverse dieting and building glutes on too few calories, Alex from Florida on weekend tracking inconsistency and a military fitness test, Brianna from North Carolina on chronic overtraining and learning to let go, and Avery from Michigan on fat intake while cutting and dialing in nutrition before her July wedding.
