Hi, my name is Berk from Turkey
My issue is glute pain at the very top portion it. It hurts when I bend over and when I stand up from sofa/chair. I think these symptoms may correlate with lower back pain too, so I am not sure if I am supposed to buy hip rehab or low back rehab program. I looked at both and they both have exercises that will build tolerance on my affected area
Hey Berk,
Sorry to hear about the recent discomfort. Definitely a good questions here given your symptoms, but I think the low back pain template would be better-suited for your symptoms given the location and pain with bending over.
Let us know how it goes.

Thank you Jordan, but before you replied I had bought the hip template which has been going very well so far.
My question is that in the BBM app there are 2 GPP sessions in the first week but I see just 1 in the excel spreadsheet. I believe excel is the correct one but wanted to clarify anyway
Looks like the arm work got duplicated in the app, but I don’t mind the extra arm work 
Hey Jordan! Have 2 questions: There is a huge difference in terms of conditioning between the Excel and the app (Excel has 90 minutes of LISS @6 on top of 2 14-minute HIIT sessions, although I am just at week 3 of block 1) (the app has something like 50 minutes of LISS and 12 minutes of HIIT)
I definitely have no problem with extra conditioning, but isn’t this much of a difference between the app and Excel too much? I am following the program through excel but don’t know which one is correct.
I would also like to ask something different: I am considering getting coaching from you directly (I know the 3-month commitment). At what point do you feel you need to modify something in the programming (in both lifting and conditioning)? More specifically, do I need to tell you that my performance has been stalling over the last few weeks, or will you be tracking it yourself?
I would do the Excel. Not sure why there are so many errors in the translation to the app, but I’ll get to the bottom of it.
Programming is an iterative process based on objective (strength, size, CRF, etc.) and subjective (enjoyment, preferences) feedback. I track the objective stuff, but lean heavily on subjective feedback as well. I typically sniff out a stall or other issue before it’s happened, though that’s not ALWAYS the case.
