5 reasons why you're not making progress with your fitness

Thread👇
1. Your actions are not aligned with your goals

Many people set goals but never follow through with the required actions to reach them

You can’t do one thing & expect results that don't align with your chosen actions

You must learn daily habits that push towards your goal
2. Procrastination is poison

Many people are all thought, no action

“Oh, ill start a workout program Monday”

No, you start it TODAY

By the time Monday comes, you’ll have already built up momentum to keep going. Starting NOW and failing is STILL better than not starting at all
3. You're not tracking progress

Writing down sets, reps, weight and exercises is essential to making consistent progress

Come back & do MORE than the previous week.

It’s all about progressive overload

You can’t do the same thing week after week & expect different results
4. You're lying to yourself

How many cals did you plan to eat this week?
How many did you actually eat?

How many times did you plan to train this week?
How many times did you actually train?

People lie to themselves to relieve cognitive dissonance

AVOID like the plague.
5. You're ignoring the fundamentals

You can do fancy workouts but if you simply aren’t eating enough, you won’t build muscle

You can eat 5,000 calories of healthy food, but you cant expect to lose weight

Stop focusing on “quick fix” extreme diets/workouts

Focus on the basics

-Build muscle & lose body fat

7 tips to help you adapt to intermittent fasting

Thread 👇
Realize that you aren’t going to adapt over night!

It takes time for your body to adjust to something new

If you feel lighted headed or can’t take the hunger at first, eat!

The goal here isn’t to have you pass out...

It’s to start small and work your way to longer fasts.
1. Strategically blunt your hunger

Drinking things like black coffee, black tea’s, sparkling water, or 0 cal drinks will help (keep 0 cal drinks to a minimum though)

I highly recommend you use one of these to help blunt hunger.

It’s VERY helpful.

I use black coffee everyday.

7 reasons why you should consider intermittent fasting

Thread👇
1. It is easy to practice

Unlike diets, intermittent fasting doesn’t require you to only eat certain foods.

Rather, it’s timed eating & you simply eat within a small time frame.

4-8 hour eating window is typical.

Shorter eating window = fewer calories consumed.
2. It saves so much time

With 20:4, 18:6, 16:8...

You will likely only eat 2 meals per day instead of 3.

The shorter your eating window, the more time saved not worrying about food.

More time to read a book, spend time with the wife and kids, or go learn a new skill, etc.

“The Big Six” movements you should have in your workout programming

Thread👇
1. Horizontal push (e.g. bench press)

These movements work your chest primarily, triceps & delts as secondary

You can do any variation (incline, decline) of bench press to target your entire pectoral muscles

Use proper form and leave the ego at at the door on this exercise
2. Vertical push (e.g. overhead press)

Vertical push movements should be a staple in your routine.

Having strong shoulders makes life a heck of a lot easier + your shoulders can make or break your entire physique

Prioritize the vertical push.

8 actionable tips for effective & sustainable fat loss

Thread 👇
1. First and foremost, let's establish the #1 baseline for losing fat

A caloric deficit.

You MUST be in a deficit to lose fat.

This means you must consume less calories than your body requires to function

When this happens, your body taps into fat stores for fuel

= fat loss
2. Limit alcohol consumption

Fat loss & drinking DO NOT go hand in hand

Alcoholic drinks contain a TON of empty calories

1 night of heavy drinking can set you back weeks of progress

This is why "beer bellies" exist

Drinking a lot causes a heavy caloric surplus = weight gain

How to maximize muscle gain with minimal body fat

Thread👇
First, let's establish that if you want to pack on any sort of serious muscle mass...

You are going to gain some body fat in the process.

You could attempt to bulk without ANY fat gain, but you will sacrifice size gain, results may be slow & the conditions have to be perfect.
1. *SMALL* caloric surplus

The difference between gaining a ton of body fat vs very minimal...

Comes down to the size of your surplus.

Sure, you can shovel food down all day & you'll gain size/strength.. but you'll pack on fat too ("dirty bulk")

I much prefer to "clean bulk"
