Sometimes you can’t judge another coach on face value as you don’t know what condition the client went to that coach in. Eg- The client may be on low macros to begin with and the coach is just building them up slowly to avoid the person getting stressed out by sudden fat gain.
*Around the 28:00 mark "metabolic stress" is meant to be "mechanical damage".
