• Shout out to Norada Real Estate. (1:03:25)

• #ListenerLive question #1 - Any guidance for balancing commitment toward a specific goal with awareness regarding when to shift gears? (1:05:02)

• #ListenerLive question #2 - How reliable are body scans? I decided to get a trainer to help me figure out nutrition more. I wanted to see more of the muscle I had been building, so I told her I'd like to cut fat. We did a body scan, and it said to eat about 1750 calories to lean out, which should be a 500-calorie deficit (according to the scan). (1:18:01)

• #ListenerLive question #3 - After completing MAPS Anabolic, should I continue to chase the strength gains in a program like MAPS Strong, or should I move into something like Performance? While I continue to get stronger with every workout, I'm beginning to experience progressive stiffness throughout my lower back that I cannot seem to shake even with increased mobility work. (1:35:02)

• #ListenerLive question #4 - I am currently 175 lbs., dropping about .5lb per week. Ideally, I'd like to get macro-focused again, so I can decrease some of the cardio. My goal is to maintain about 160lb. I don't know if I need to stay at maintenance calories while I decrease the cardio. Do I slowly back out of the cardio? I'm scared to scale back too much and gain weight. (1:42:36)
