Bad check-ins waste the call
"What should I do?" is not a check-in. It is a fog machine.
A good check-in gives the coach enough signal to make a fast call.
The weekly check-in template
Copy this before every weekly call:
| Field | Your answer |
|---|---|
| Bodyweight average | |
| Calories / protein average | |
| Training sessions completed | |
| Steps average | |
| Sleep average | |
| Skin routine hit rate | |
| Current bottleneck | |
| Photos attached | front, side, back, face front, face side |
| One question for the call | |
| One win from last week |
Photo standard
Use the same lighting, distance, camera lens, and time of day as much as possible.
You need:
- front physique
- side physique
- back physique
- front face
- side face
- optional fit/style photo
- optional screenshots of content analytics
No filters. No weird angles. No pump-only fantasy unless the call is specifically about content.
The one-question rule
Bring one main question. Not seven.
Examples:
- "Should I keep cutting or hold maintenance for two weeks?"
- "Is my haircut hurting my face shape?"
- "Which lift is limiting my frame right now?"
- "What is my highest-ROI PU point this week?"
- "Which content format should I repeat based on views and saves?"
One clear question gets a clear answer.
